SEVEN DEADLY AUTOMOTIVE SINS: LUST
This is the second part of a series that will run all week. “BETSY! Get some coffee in here for me and the Boys. And make sure it’s fresh, not the dregs from the pot you made this morning!” Tank Stone turned back around and faced the assembled bevy of executives gathered around the walnut table in the…

SEVEN DEADLY AUTOMOTIVE SINS: WRATH
This is the first chapter of a series that will run all week. When the thing rolled down the street in front of the Rusty Hammer, people stopped and scratched their heads. “What the hell is that?” Porter Stevens said to nobody in particular. The lack of any reply said that everyone else was in…

WHAT DRIVES EILEEN, Chapter 13
Fort Stockton is unique in many ways. The ability of those with connections to get done quickly whatever they want however, is just like every other town. Prairie View Savings & Loan wanted a non performing asset off their books. Mayor Goodman wanted back taxes collected, as they were already earmarked for a special project his daughter,…

WHAT DRIVES EILEEN, Chapter 12
Eileen could have told Mason to set himself on fire and he’d have probably reached for the matches at that point. The alcohol certainly played a part. She may have even slipped something into the alcohol, he couldn’t tell for sure. The way she’d strung him along for hours on end took him somewhere he’d never been…

WHAT DRIVES EILEEN, Chapter 11
“You never said much about your time in California.” Whiskey was testing the waters. “When you’d go out and spend time with that woman.” Mason just looked at him. He hadn’t heard from Eileen Parker in a few years. That’s not to say he hadn’t thought of her often. On his last trip to Las Angeles things had…

WHAT DRIVES EILEEN, Chapter 10
Everything was coming at Eileen almost faster than she could process. And yet, most of it didn’t require any thought at all. There was never a question whether or not she’d sign the contract, move to LA permanently, and take the position she’d been offered. She’d had a taste of money when the book started…

WHAT DRIVES EILEEN, Chapter 9
For the two weeks following the passionate encounter after bringing Eileen’s new Mercury Marauder X-100 home, it was as though she and Mason were attempting to break some kind of record for copulation in The Guinness Book of World Records. Mason, not usually one to speak of such things, couldn’t help but finally saying something…

WHAT DRIVES EILEEN, Chapter 8
It didn’t take long for Eileen to pack up the Cadillac and get ready to head home. The scene that had just taken place in the motel office at the Shamrock made the need for departure even hastier. She figured she’d drive to Oklahoma City and stop for the night. She vowed to not have anything to do…

WHAT DRIVES EILEEN, Chapter 7
St. Jo was 531 miles due north from Texarkana, roughly a nine hour drive. Cass had tried to insist on following Eileen up, getting her settled in a motel, and then driving back to Texas the next day. “It’s not safe, a young pretty girl out on the road by herself,” he tried to tell her. She thought…

WHAT DRIVES EILEEN, Chapter 6
Eileen had thought she’d get out and see more of Texarkana, maybe spend some time out around the lake with a picnic lunch. Get some sun. Meet a few folks. But by early summer she was doing nothing but research, interviews when she could get someone to talk to her, and driving out to see where the murders…
