Welcome Back, Readers
The second installment of Gideon’s journey is nearly here. Young Bozz: Trouble Follows leaps ahead two years into the shadowed, undiscovered corners of 1894 San Francisco.
This novel widens the Young Bozz universe with new allies, new adversaries, and a host of revelations that tighten their unseen grip on Gideon’s world. Their secrets, schemes, and shifting loyalties aim to draw readers deeper into the intrigue.
A word of caution: this Gideon reveals the full force of his “Young Bozz” nature when cornered—and the lengths he’s willing to go to set things right. One can only hope the guiding influences in his life keep him from straying too far into darker territory.
Writing this sequel has been a deeply rewarding experience, and I look forward to hearing your thoughts across the various social media channels.
Cheers, Jack

Young Bozz – Trouble Follows is a powerful second instalment in the series, and despite the shift in setting to San Francisco, it immediately pulls us back into Gideon’s dangerous, exhilarating, and tragic world. The ensemble cast is compelling, with each character bringing something distinct and memorable to the story. Young Bozz once again takes center stage as a gripping anti-hero, unleashing violence and chaos wherever he goes, yet somehow still inspiring hope that he might find a less explosive and more fulfilling life alongside the captivating Eloise.
Their passionate and complicated relationship, woven together with Gideon’s relentless quest for revenge, creates a richly layered and fast-paced story in which there is never a dull moment. For readers who love historical fiction, immersive world-building with remarkable attention to detail, and deeply complex characters, I can’t recommend this book enough. Once I started reading, I couldn’t put it down – I had to know how everything would unfold. I can’t wait to continue the series and discover where Gideon’s journey leads next!
