Baton Rouge, Louisiana, December 14, 2021/PRNewswire-PRNewswire/-Author Michael Reid announced the release of the first volume of the "Two Quarters" (published by Xlibris) series. In this book, readers are taken to the streets of Baton Rouge, Louisiana, where outsmarting law enforcement is essential to living a life of crime and murder.

Troy, Nick and Jeff have been together since childhood. They grew up in a world of drugs and pain, and were forced to become men early. In this story of power and street wisdom, readers follow these three friends to deal with the challenges in life from beginning to end. True loyalty is everything to them.

"(I) just want to do something positive," the author said when asked what inspired him to write this book. "This has to do with the growth and current lives of many people. It has to do with teamwork."

Excerpt from the "Second Quarter" written: But what Troy sees in his so-called friends is greed and selfishness. This is the first thing his family can't deal with, especially if they all want to be in Baton Rouge. Keep these streets or anywhere else free.
