New Ventures, new places
Writing for us is fun. We use people and places we have been and weave them into our stories. One such character created for The Enigma Rising was Johnston. Johnston is a composite of some folks that we did not like with all the crazy characteristics they possessed wrapped into one little package. He is deliciously annoying and yet memorable to those who have read our stories. In this portion of the story, a bank that will provide safe harbor for ill gotten goods is explored by the Bad Boys. In this small segment what are your thought about the gent and would you like to do business with him? One other comment, we like to incorporate folks we have know over our business careers and even personally. We have discovered that many folks like the idea of being an evil character in our stories. Let us know if you would enjoy being in a story as the next evil genius. Let us know.!
Book Excerpt
The Enigma Rising
A deep timber voice behind him said, “Mr. Juan, I presume?”
JC and Juan turned around to greet the individual but lowered their gaze in order to actually see the man’s face.
“My name is Phillip Johnston. I’m sorry I’m late. My boss, Denali, dropped his cell phone over board while fishing, and I had to deal with getting the replacement and reprogramming it for him. So what are we drinking, gentlemen?” Johnston enquired.
Johnston suffered from what is known as the small man complex, and yet he did everything possible to try and enhance his deficiency.
Juan instinctively grabbed JC’s massive arm to get his attention and without a spoken word sent JC off to a table. Then Juan indicated for Mr. Johnston to join him at an empty table in the corner. Juan took the seat in the corner with Johnston facing him.
Juan gathered his usual charm and offered, “No worries about the timing. I was just relaxing here. What would you like, sir?”
Johnston clapped his hands together and with a grin that would only have endeared him to a cockroach said, “How about my favorite local adult beverage, Jamaican Rum?”
