Rikers Island - Men’s Detention Facility

  Kelli opened the file, took out the crime scene photos and spread them out on the table. “I know you had something to do with this,” she said and pointed at a close up of Roberto Guevara’s throat.

  Angelo sat with his arms crossed, a look of contempt on his face. He glanced down at the photo and smirked. “You got nothin’ on me, bitch.”

  “I’ve got someone who will testify that you gave the order to kill Raul Flores. That’s enough to get you the needle.”

  Angelo leaned back and sneered at her. “Ain’t no death penalty in New York, bitch. They cut that shit out a long time ago.”

  It was Kelli’s turn to smile. She stood and walked around the table, keeping her eyes on Angelo. She walked up next to him, leaned against the table and looked into his eyes. “That’s where you’re wrong, shit head. You ever heard of aggravating factors, Angelo?”

  Angelo leaned back, tilted his head and looked up at Kelli. “What the fuck is that?”

  Kelli straightened up, crossed her arms and smiled. “That means I’ll be sitting on the other side of the glass when they stick that needle in your arm.” She backed away from the table, walked around to the other side and sat down.

  Angelo watched her, a defiant look on his face. “You’re talkin’ shit. You ain’t got no fuckin’ witness, and you got no proof,” he said as he leaned back and crossed his arms.

  Kelli stood, collected the photos and placed them back in the folder. “This was your one chance to make a deal. I thought you were smarter than that, Angelo. I guess I was wrong.” She picked the file up, turned and walked to the door.

  “You’re full of shit, you fuckin’ puta,” Angelo screamed as he jumped up.

  Kelli turned around and grinned. “We’ll see who’s full of shit, Angelo,” she said as the guard opened the door. “You might want to call that high priced lawyer and let him explain it to you.”

  “I don’t need no fuckin’ lawyer ‘cause you ain’t got nothin’,” he yelled after her.

  Kelli kept walking and smiled to herself. Yeah, just keep telling yourself that, asshole.

Thriller Thursday - Excerpt from Storm Warning - A Kelli Storm Novel

  In all her years on the job, Kelli had seen some gruesome crime scenes, but this had to be the worst. Now she felt like a rookie, leaning against the front of the house, bent over and puking. She stood, wiped her mouth and walked back to the road. She needed to put some distance between herself and the carnage inside.

  Police cars now filled the street in front of the house, crime scene tape hung loosely from one post to another, creating a makeshift boundary. Kelli felt a tap on her shoulder and jumped a little. She turned to see Larsen, a sick look on his face.

  “It looks like they were killed early this morning, although we’ll have to wait for a full autopsy to know for sure. Christ, I’ve seen some sick shit, but what they did to those people,” he said, placing a hand on her shoulder. “You going to be okay?”

  “Yeah, just a little embarrassed,” she said, feeling her cheeks flush.

  “Hell, when I saw the wife’s body, it was all I could do to keep it in. I thought Becerra was a sick son of a bitch, but whoever did this shit is a fucking lunatic.”

  Kelli winced, the scene inside the house etched in her mind. “So much blood. Have you ever seen anything this bad?”

  “No, and I hope I never see anything like this again,” he said, shaking his head.

  “Then we have to get to Garcia. As long as he’s out there, shit like this is going to keep happening.”

  Larsen nodded and let out a deep sigh. “Yeah, I know.”

Featured on Author's Promoter

I was interviewed by C.J. Deguara on Author's Promoter this morning. Of course it was evening for C.J., as he is working in Malta at this time. It was a very pleasant interview and C.J. asked some great questions. The actual interview will not be live until next week, and I will update you when it goes live. In the meantime, check out the interim page.

From my friend Patti Roberts - New Ad for Kelli Storm series

My good friend,  Patti Roberts, author of the Paradox - The Angels are Here series just posted this on Facebook. It was so awesome that I just had to download it and post it here. Wish I had thought of it.

This is going to be my new ad campaign. (That is if I can get the rights from Patti.)

And the blog tour keeps on going......

It has been a whirlwind of activity for me these past few days. Between getting the book launch organized, and all of the small details that need attending, I've had the pleasure of being interviewed by so many wonderful and talented authors. Now it doesn't hurt that these authors are also people that I consider to be friends as well.

Today I'm honored to be interviewed by the talented author and friend M.A. Comley, or Mel. Thank you, Mel.
