Sneak preview of a good book

Be sure to check out T.J. Marshman's new book, Jacob. Chapters 1-3 were posted last week, and today up went chapters 4-6.

It's looking great!

But hmmm....

What if people don't believe me?

Oh hell, here are a couple of paragraphs, just as a tease:

Eight plastic surgery operations had transformed Salahuddin’s face and body, including his fingertips, so that he could travel freely in the west using Mohammed’s identity. The match was nearly perfect. This was most likely overkill. But it would not be enough for Salahuddin to complete the attack. He had to succeed and make certain that Mohammed and those he worked for were blamed for the attack. The Americans might retaliate with nuclear weapons.

Salahuddin undressed and sighed. It would take four or five hours to get Mohammed bled out, dismembered, and separated for transport. He unrolled the tarp until it covered the entire bathroom floor, including the bathtub, and dumped Mohammed’s body atop the tarp inside the bathtub. He taped the tarp high along the bathroom walls, then slashed a gash in it so blood would flow to the bathtub’s drain. Later he would use the acid to scour the tub and clear the pipes of evidence.

That's all!

Now go read it.

Thank you Eric! I'm hoping to have it done by October 1st. So cool of you to publicize it like this!

It's looking good, and I'm only too glad to help. Your ability to write dialogue and your vivid imagination serve you well.

(How I wish I had the energy and focus it takes to write a novel!)
