An Excerpt from Stormcaller
Thought I'd share an excerpt from Stormcaller, book 2 in my Portals series. The book is available from Amazon Kindle and,in hard copy, from Barnes and Noble Online and Amazon.
"Tomas Garcia Alvarez." Tevis stepped past Kat, his short-cropped blond hair, his gray slacks and paler gray shirt a favorable contrast to Alvarez' overgrown black locks, torn jeans and a muscle shirt long past its prime. The Elf leveled his gun in proper police procedure. "You are under arrest for the deaths of four people. You have the right to remain silent —"
"Skip the Miranda." Alvarez lowered his arms. He looked closer to sober than he had a moment earlier. "I know it better than you do, Elf."
Kat had no doubt that he did. Tomas Alvarez had a rap sheet that could've stretched from Corpus to Victoria, armed robbery, aggravated assault, dealing drugs, illegal gambling, plus a few things the police had heard about but hadn't yet been able to pin on him, such as being the heavy muscle for the Mexican mob. All that, and he hadn't hit his fortieth birthday yet. Tomas would be just hitting his stride, except he'd made a mistake.
Four of them, two days ago.
Alvarez shifted his gaze to Kat, blinked. "You should be giving me a medal."
"If that is your way of saying you killed those people," Tevis said as Kat holstered her gun and stepped toward the bed, pulling a set of cuffs from her belt, "you should not say anything more."
