Just Another Job
Not everyone who gets shot is supposed to be shot.
And those who are shot don’t always die right away.
It’s not Quinn’s job to kill people, but it is his job to clean them up.
Sometimes, though, they’re not quite ready to go.
A night in the life of someone who works it the shadows, JUST ANOTHER JOB is a three thousand word, short story that features a young Jonathan Quinn, protagonist of the award winning Jonathan Quinn Thriller series.

Brett Battles
Brett Battles crafts thrillers that don’t just chase the next plot twist—they explore the shadows where espionage, identity, and morality intertwine. Growing up in Southern California, he found his storytelling voice early, convincing his sixth-grade teacher to let the whole class dive into his short stories. That early spark evolved into a writing career spanning over forty novels, with characters and plots that grip readers with their complexity and emotional depth.
His debut introduced Jonathan Quinn, a freelance operative navigating a perilous world of secrets, setting a tone that defines Battles’ work: sharp, layered, and relentless. Awards like the Barry for Best Thriller followed, but it’s his ability to weave intricate narratives with human vulnerability that resonates most. Beyond the Quinn series, his storytelling branches into the Project Eden thrillers, the Rewinder trilogy’s inventive sci-fi twist, and collaborations that expand his reach.
Jonathan Quinn
