EXIT STRATEGY tells the story of seventeen-year-old Zach Ramsey. Looming above Zach’s hometown are the smokestacks of the truck assembly plant, the greasy lifeblood of his Detroit suburb. Surrounded by drunks, broken marriages, and factory rats living in fear of the pink slip, Zach is getting out of Blaine after graduation. But first, he’s going to enjoy the summer before his senior year.

And Zach’s having a blast until he uncovers dark secrets that shake his faith in everyone, including his best friend Tank (a state wrestling champion), whose ‘roid rages betray a shocking habit. Falling in love with Tank’s twin sister Sarah, an Ivy League-bound scholar, doesn’t exactly make Zach’s life any easier. Eventually, with enough evidence to nail the town’s steroid kingpin, Zach is faced with the toughest decision of his life—one that will prove just what kind of adult he’s destined to be.

About the Author

Ryan Potter
After earning two degrees in American history, Ryan Potter realized he wanted to write about things he made up rather than analyze things that had already happened. He wrote his first short story in 2003 and was lucky enough to get it published in a well-respected online literary journal. He’s had several stories published both online and in print since. EXIT STRATEGY is his first novel.  Read more about how to book or contact Ryan Potter.
