As a criminal defense attorney, I’ve stood in courtrooms across Tennessee defending clients facing the death penalty and life without parole. I’ve sat with killers, survivors, and everyone in between. But before all that, I lived a very different life—one filled with violence, risk, and a constant fight to survive. Things Change is fiction, but it’s drawn from truth. William Harris is a man trying to leave behind who he was, without ever forgetting it. Like many of us who’ve come through fire, he walks a fine line—between justice and vengeance, power, and purpose. This book is about what it costs to stay on that line... and what happens when you step off. This is the first in a four-book series that spans corruption, redemption, and the kind of loyalty you don’t often find in courtrooms. It’s gritty, unapologetic, and personal. And it’s written for readers who understand that real justice isn’t clean—and real heroes rarely are. —Michie Gibson
