Pay close attention. Note that I define "bachi" in this part. Leter, when I use the term, the editor said "You have to define this." Head exploded!

Detective Willis sat next to Yuki, holding her hand and trying to reassure her that she was safe. As… Read full post »

José Pagan heard the shotgun blasts over the noise of his radio.

“Fuck,” he moaned. “Oh, fuck.”

He saw a dark figure run from the house, jump into a car, and peel away at high speed.

“Oh, fuck! Oh, fuck! Oh, fuck!”

He knew he couldn’t… Read full post »

Yuki sat on top of Julio with her eyes closed. As she undulated her hips in slow motion, she whispered, “It’s so great with you. I…I’m ready to leave. I’m ready to leave with you, Julio.

“Then we should go now,” Julio said.

“I don’t want to sto… Read full post »

The next day, Julio called Yuki at one minute after nine. “He’s going out of town,” Yuki gushed. “He’s going up to Fort Lauderdale for a couple of nights. You can stay with me.”

Of course he is. That’s when it’ll happen. “Yes,” Julio said./… Read full post »

Julio watched Pagan from his room. On instinct, he had purposely taken a room facing the front parking lot and his hunch was paying off. He watched Pagan follow Yuki and, when she knocked on the door, he peered through the peephole in the hotel room door and saw him pass… Read full post »

Love is in the air! So is murder!

“Jorge,” Julio said. “Drop me off at the Hertz counter at the airport.”

“For Christ’s sake,” Jorge mumbled.

“I want to see her.”

“You don’t even fucking know her, bro’,” Julio said.… Read full post »

Please pay attention to the text in red font. This is another thing that made my head explode. The editor told me that it wasunnecessary and I HAD to remove it. HAD TO? NotI! Like Bugs Bunny says, "He don't know me very well, do he?" Anyway, you'll find out why… Read full post »

Deputy Sheriff Holland Smoots was a bully, the worst kind of bully – a sadist with a gun and a badge. He was fat and ugly – even the local hookers tried to avoid him. Smoots didn’t care. He got his thrills through intimidation.

Winston Salem was also a… Read full post »

Back to sex!

After her photo shoot, Yuki returned to Emilio’s home, driving on instinct rather than thinking about where she was going. Her head pounded and her memory was fuzzy at best. Try as she did, she had virtually no recollection of the events of… Read full post »

 As you can see, this is a bit of a departure for me.

Vinny D’Onfrio had made the mistake of robbing, beating, and then killing a small-time drug dealer who worked for Emilio. There wasn’t enough evidence to arrest him, but there was enough evidence for Emilio… Read full post »

This chapter is one of the reasons I decided not to publish anymore. My editor said, “Couch is a piece of furniture. You obviously made a mistake. You have to change this.” I HAVE to change it? I don’t think so. See the text in red font.

Jorge and Julio… Read full post »

What is it about having women pose with their arms over their heads? It seems to me that a disproportionate number of photos ever taken of me are with my arms over my head. Whatever-I’m back from California and picking up Yuki’s story where I left off. Next-Julio’s story.

Julio focused on Yuki with laser beam eyes, watching her every movement as she fluttered around the kitchen in her baggy sweat suit.  She chattered on about her job, the beach, her home, and anything else that came into her mind. But she didn’t look at him, and that was a/… Read full post »
