Tarbaby Trouble [Mudflat 1]
Page 29
"Yah, got a few dings in that windshield,” the man said. “Where you headed, son?"
He turned to look at the man and for the first time actually saw him, thin dark hair, heavy face, not unfriendly, dressed in something shiny, arms reaching in front of him and his hands curled around the wheel.
Where was he headed? He guessed at what the question meant, nothing to do with his head, everything to do with where.
"Seattle,” he said softly. “Do you know where that is?"
"Sure, not going that far but I can drop you at a diner down the road. A lot of trucks stop there. I'll hook you up with a ride to town. You don't come from Seattle, huh? So why are you headed there?"
"Looking for a girl."
The man laughed. “Yah, that figures."

About the Author
I live in the Seattle area and graduated from UDub with a major in Creative Writing and English Lit. My writing career started with articles for a variety of small magazines and kind of peaked with a chance to be a contributing editor for an astrology magazine for several years. That hobby led to my Mudflat books.
What do I do for fun, besides write? Attend the opera, ballet, and, oh yes, the Mariners games. Even when they are losing, I adore the garlic fries. My favorite hangouts are the neighborhood Starbucks, the zoo, and Elliott Bay Bookstore. My pets are all the critters at the zoo. For breaks from writing, I draw comics about a woman who lives in a condo and loves the Mariners, the zoo, books, and coffee. Gosh, now where would I get an idea like that?
