About the Book: 

To the Breaking Point... 

When Brendell Meshango resigns from her university professor position and retreats to her isolated cabin to repair her psyche, she is confronted by a masked intruder. His racial comments lead her to believe she is the solitary victim of a hate crime.

However, is all as it appears? After two bizarre days, the intruder mysteriously disappears but continues to play
mind games with her. Taught by her mother to distrust the mainstream-based power structures, and with her stalker possibly linked to a high level of government, Brendell conceals the incident from the police. But will her
silence keep her safe?

Then her beloved daughter, Zoë, is threatened and Brendell takes matters into her own hands. To save Zoë, Brendell searches for the stalker and confronts not just a depraved madman but her own fears and prejudices.

Chapter 4

I felt as if I were wearing gumboots stuck in mud. I had my jacket on, my car keys in hand, but I couldn’t move. Two hours since Zoë left, and I stood in the middle of my kitchen having a make-believe conversation that was not going well.

‘What did your intruder look like, ma’am?’

‘I don’t know. His features were hidden.’

‘We’ll dust for prints.’

‘He wore gloves.’

‘What make of vehicle was he driving?’

‘I never saw.’

‘Maybe you heard a truck?’

‘I don’t think so.’

‘We’ll need you to have an examination.’

‘He didn’t rape me.’

‘And you expect us to do what exactly?’

I leaned back against my kitchen cupboards and threw the keys on the counter. They skated six feet across the tiled granite counter top like a jackrabbit on skis and crashed into the side of the refrigerator. My body jerked in reflex.

For a long time I didn’t move. The ringing in my ears and hammering in my head incapacitated my ability to plan. My eyes focused on the dead space between me and the deep ledged kitchen window over the sink, past my crystal teddy window ornament to the outside. The landscaped back yard that I’d toiled to make a beautiful place of colour and fragrance lasting six months out of the year, and this house that I’d fashioned into a comfortable and cozy home, now felt as cold and lonely as a plywood shelter in the middle of a Saskatchewan dust storm. He had done that to me, the intruder. Worse, I had let him.

#GiveAway ~ MOXIE’S DECISION By Hank Quense ~ @hanque99

MOXIE’S DECISION

Series: Princess Moxie (Book 2)

By Hank Quense

You can enter to win a copy of MOXIE’S DECISION today. Be sure to check out the giveaway details below.

Sometimes it’s fun to add a little laughter and satire to our daily routine so that’s why I’m delighted to be a part of author Hank Quense’s MOXIE’S DECISION Blog Tour with MC Book Tours today.

About the Book: 

Moxie has a plan; she’s determined to rule as queen after her father, King Smedley, dies.

But Smedley refuses to acknowledge her as his heir. Her uncle also wants the throne and he’s already tried once to eliminate Moxie as competition.

Moxie recognizes she hasn't been trained to rule and she needs lessons about the real world. Moxie goes on a quest to learn how to rule and to learn about life outside the castle. 

Moxie faces unexpected obstacles as she struggles with adventures in a brutal reality that tests her mettle and determination. 

This is a fantasy coming-of-age story that is decidedly different than the usual ones. The book is filled with satire and humor. What more can a reader wish for? 

It takes place against the backdrop of Camelot, but this isn’t the Camelot of legends. It’s Camelot in a parallel universe where the Knights of the Round Table play football and Guinevere coaches the team’s cheer leaders. The wizard Merlin struggles to understand the Magic of the Mind using primitive ink stained diagrams and Stonehenge is a theater-in-the-round.   

Moxie’s rollicking adventures are the stuff of comedy. Enjoy!

Excerpt: 

Backstory: Previously, the Knights of the Round Table had formed a business venture called KRT. Inc

Back at Camelot, Lancelot pounded the hilt of his dagger on the Round Table to get the attention of the Knights of the Round Table Executive Committee.  "I call this meetin' to order.  There's only one agenda item today and that's what we’re gonna do at the Yuletide feast.  Remember, we got only seven months to get ready.  So, after we hear the minutes from the last meetin' and reports from sub-committee heads, we'll get to the Yuletide stuff."

Tristan plucked a few ominous notes on his lute.

Lancelot was the CKO — Chief Knightly Officer — of KRT Inc., a non-profit organization that wasn't supposed to be non-profit, but had never been able to raise enough cash to become a for-profit organization.

"I demand we start this meetin' with a prayer to Our Lord Almighty.” Galahad stared at Lancelot, his face red and grim.  None of his brother knights had ever seen Galahad smile.

"How many times do I gotta tell you we ain't prayin to your god or any other one."  Lancelot glared at Galahad while he said, "Read the minutes, Gawain."

Gawain, the Sergeant-at-arms, cleared his throat.  "Ain't got any minutes 'cause nothin’ important happened at the last meetin'."  In his mid-thirties, Gawain was older than many of the knights.  He had thinning black hair and a few strands of white in his beard.

Merlin cackled.  "Nothing important ever happens at these meetings.  We could solve any problem in five minutes over a horn of ale instead of wasting hours attending these meetings."  Merlin drew on his pipe and blew a yellow and blue sphere.  He flicked his fingers and sent the smoke figure wafting over the table.

Lancelot ignored Merlin since he had never been able to win an argument with the wizard.  "Ector?"

Sir Ector, the Treasurer and the oldest man in the room, unrolled a parchment scroll and held it as far away as his arms would reach.  "Fund raisin' is a problem.  We ain’t gettin’ nearly enough from your adventures.”

“Most of our adventures ain’t found any big treasures or loot,” Kay said.

"Precisely," Ector replied.  "And meantime, we ain't gettin' enough funds."  The knights gave a tithe of all loot and any coins earned on their quests and adventures.  Ector didn't go on adventures because of his great age.  He became Treasurer also because of his age: too old to be bothered with stealing funds.

"This could be a disaster," Tristan said.  He was the head of the Entertainment Committee.  He was also the only member of that sub-committee.  "Yuletide activities cost money and I have an ambitious show planned."

"Save your whinin' for later, Tristan," Lancelot said.  "Kay, give us a report."

Kay, head of the Pension and Widows Funds, said, "The Pension fund remains strong 'cause no knight has ever lived long enough to collect one, except for old Ector here and he's still a workin' knight."  Kay was short and barrel-chested with bland features.  "The Widows Fund is a problem with all the dead knights' widows demandin' money for non-existent children."  Kay's job meant he met a lot of pretty widows, all of them angry at him. 

"Mayhap," Tristan said, "we should transfer funds from the Pension fund to the Yuletide activities.”  Tristan played a few joyous notes on his lyre.

“You ain't gettin' the money from my funds," Kay growled.

"Just a thought,” Tristan replied.

“Palamedes?”  Lancelot pointed at the dusky-hued knight who headed the Marketing sub-committee.  "What've you got?"

"I'm workin' on a marketin' plan that smacks of genius.  Can't tell you much about it yet.  Perhaps by the next meetin' I can share my plans.  I'm confident it will bring in bags of coins."  The knights had given Palamedes the marketing job based on the illogical reasoning that anyone from an exotic foreign country in North Africa must know a lot about marketing.

"You promised us bags of coins in the past," Kay grumbled, "but all we got was bags of air."

"That's because the Lord is punishin' us for our sinful ways,” Galahad said.  “We must stop ignorin' Him."  Galahad crossed his arms and gave everyone a holier-than-thou look.

No one paid attention to Galahad.

"All right," Lancelot said, "You're up, Tristan.  Tell us what you got planned."

Tristan stood and gave a trill on his instrument. Tall and broad-chested with light brown shoulder length hair and fawn-colored eyes, Tristan's puppy dog looks drove women crazy.  Unfortunately for him, the women wanted to scratch his ears rather than sleep with him.

"I have a program that will demonstrate to everyone present at Yuletide how talented we are.  To open the show, we'll have the Men's Choir singing traditional Yuletide songs such as Merrily We Slaughter the Foe, and Hark, The Herald Druids Sing, and I'll Be Home For Yuletide.

"After that, the Step-dancing Troupe will perform their interpretive version of the Fall of Troy.  To conclude the program, my play Rolf and Hild will be performed by our mummers group of actors.  By the way, the premier performance of the play will be held in Stonehenge shortly.”  Tristan sat down after another trill on his lute.

"I guess that concludes our meetin'," Lancelot said.

"Let us celebrate this successful meetin' by givin’ a prayer of thanksgivin' to Our Lord."

"Shut up, Galahad,' the Executive Committee said in unison.

Gawain stood up and said, ”Let's get some adventures goin’.”

“And bring back money,” Ector added.

Excerpt: 

1.1.12

The first thing Colton noticed when he stepped off the stairs and into the garage was an abandoned blue Mustang in the center. It was a vintage model. The driver’s door was ajar, and the electric engine was on. This wasn’t an entirely uncommon sight. When NRNT warnings sounded, people often wasted no time leaving the premises; the well-publicized threats of incarceration encouraged people to be swift in their exits. This warning, like many other such announcements, called for people to abandon their vehicles and walk to the outer perimeter of the capture zone if they were not already on the streets. Whoever owned the Mustang probably made a quick getaway.

One other vehicle—a white Mercedes—looked to be in similar condition. It was half-pulled out of one of the stalls, the door was ajar, lights on, engine running. No driver.

Colton walked deeper into the garage and stopped behind a black SUV. He looked down at his arm computer and scrolled through several screens.

“What are you doing?” Marek whispered.

“Finding out what kind of car our friend likes to drive,” Colton said. Finally, after scanning through Marcos Quintero’s profile, he found that a Toyota Star Runner was registered to him. He exited the background files and brought up the NRNT Map. According to the red dot on the far corner of the screen, the target was hiding out on the north side of the garage. Tracking via NRNT chip was a little tricky at close range, but Colton was willing to bet he’d find a Toyota Star Runner in the far corner of the garage, and he was more willing to bet he’d find his target hiding inside it.

Lifting his finger to indicate he was moving, he crept forward along the rows of cars. He passed a truck, a Volkswagen, and slew of other vehicles—all of these closed, locked, and engines off. As he neared the end of the row, he saw—just as he’d predicted—a Toyota Star Runner in the far corner.

Colton turned toward Marek. “Cover me,” he mouthed.

Marek nodded, and Colton didn’t like how nervous his trainee looked. It wasn’t all that encouraging.

Colton inched toward the vehicle. The good thing—perhaps something those who served on the police force couldn’t say—was that most targets were relatively harmless. By and large, they weren’t murderers, rapists, or con-men, although there certainly had been some cases of that kind. Most of the targets were normal people—not criminals. A target was rarely armed, rarely dangerous, and often didn’t fight back. That was encouraging, and Colton remembered this as he stepped toward the vehicle.

He needed one clean shot. Just one. The dart would penetrate the glass, no problem; Colton had done it on several occasions. As he stepped forward, he looked at his arm computer to verify his calculations had been correct. The blipping red dot confirmed what he already knew: Marcos Quintero hid in that vehicle, foolishly hoping he wouldn’t be found.
