Excerpt:

“Are you
kidding me?” I said to the clerk at the gas station.

“I’m sorry ma’am your card has been declined.” He handed me
back my debit card.

“I just got paid on Monday how am I
already out of money? No, there is plenty of money on there, run it again.” I
insisted.

“Ma’am I ran it three times. It said declined every time.”
This pimply eighteen year old teenager looked annoyed with me but I was starting
to be annoyed with him. I wasn’t broke I had money. Hell I lived at home I had a
lot of money!

“Here let me help.” A deep and sultry voice said from behind
me, and then I saw a twenty plop down on the counter top.

“Oh God no please,” I started to turn around and then froze
in place. He was back, he was really back. And now he was paying for my gas.
“Jessie.” I said in a low airy breath.

“M,” he said nodding his head smiling, “how are you?”

A giggle came out of my mouth next and then I turned fire
engine red, “Think it is safe to say I have been better.”

“One fifteen is your change sir, thank you.” The pimply
eighteen years old said. I turn my head back to the front of the counter, “No I
have money!”

“Next please.” The twerp announced.

Jessie stepped up beside me and laid down his bottle of water
and bag of charcoal. What an odd combination of purchases.

“You didn’t have to.” I said softly.

“Have a good day sir.” The pimply eighteen year old said cheerfully.

Jessie turned to me and then put his hand on my shoulder. My
body felt like shaking at his touch. Then I felt him pushing me towards the
direction of the door. “I know I didn’t, but I wanted to.”

I let him guide me outside and then just stood there looking
at him. “When did you get back to town?”

“Two days ago.” His eyes were as perfect as I remembered
them.

Two days, the day my life crumbled to the ground good timing,
I thought.

“You in town for long?” I asked.

“Forever, I moved home. Next on my
to do is find a house, then a wife and have kids.”

Hearing him say that made me burst into giggles, “My god you
haven’t changed.” I kept laughing.

“Careful you are going to chase all the single women away, I
need to find someone quickly or my end of year plan will be crushed to
smithereens.”

Death of a Sculptor in Hue, Shape and Color

Color coded love stories and revealing female anatomies lead to the murder of world renowned sculptor, Bruce Jones.

In life, the artist loved women, almost as much as women loved him. Adored for his art and colorful personality, Bruce is mourned by the world at large. The tale is launched with the multifaceted perspectives of four ex-wives, the current wife, and his new love interest and their children.

Mary , Bruce’s wealthy first love, is always in perfect pink; the color of love. Mother of Clair the famous actress and Aaron the corporate lawyer.

Leslie The Second’s color is yellow for her sunny nature as much as for her fears and insecurities. Her only son Bobby is vulnerable and lost. Mourning his father’s death, he finds himself.
Petra The Third, is outstanding in orange, representing not only her native Holland but also her love of the fruit. Cherished her freedom and had no children of her own.

Toni The Fourth is a vibrant passionate Italian red and part of the eventual glue that creates and solidifies this dysfunctional Jones family. Her teenage daughters Tina and Isa are as different as night and day.
Brooke The Fifth a gold-digger. Green, her color, reflects the color of money and envy. Her young son’s Kyle and Caleb are too young to understand why their world has been turned upside-down.
Mara, as blue as the ocean was the last woman to steal Bruce’s heart. Mother to newborn Baby Peter is the unexpected gift and surprise.

Bruce Jones’ eight children speak out, too. They are as distinctive as the women he loved, their mothers.
Loose ends are tied up by the insights of Sylvia, Aaron’s wife and a trusted keeper of secrets; Scott, the private investigator and family friend; Nona, the quintessential grandmother everyone loves but to whom few are truly related; and Detective Jim Miller who will not rest until he discovers Bruce Jones’ murderer.
