The Coffee Bomb and the Corporate Spy

Beschreibung

One Change of Scene Changes Two Lives Joel Cabot loves his small town life and his graphic design work for Grateful Grocer. But a flood of suggestions for a big project threatens to bury him alive. Duncan Jackson's hectic corporate spy career leaves him burned out and ready for a break. A quick job sleuthing out a design project sounds like a perfect chance to relax and unwind. Neither expects sparks to fly when they meet. Or just how deep Grateful Grocer's secrets run. Will Joel and Duncan get lost in spy games? Or will they discover a path to each other? An Unexpected Spark Changes Everything "I haven't swung a bat in ages," Duncan said. "Never was all that great at it, but I always loved to try. I can feel the blisters starting already. So, you in?" Joel had that warm, solid feeling in his chest he got when he started something that was going to turn out good. And damned if he hadn't earned a bit of relaxation over the last few months. "Okay, I'm in. I did my best with baseball, especially with my uncle as the coach, but I was more comfortable as a soccer player growing up. So you have to promise not to laugh at how bad I might be at it after all this time." Duncan laughed, then covered his mouth with one hand. "I'm sorry, that's not at you. Like I said, I wasn't exactly an All Star. I don't think I'll get hit, but I have managed to get hit in a batting cage before. We'll have to promise not to laugh at each other. Deal?" Joel held out one hand. "Deal." The contact between them hit like lightning. Rippling, long-lasting, summer-night heat lightning. The kind that circled and promised and threatened all night long, but never built up enough force to turn destructive. Every inch of Joel's skin tingled and the hair on his arms stood on end. From the way Duncan caught his breath, the sensation was mutual.

Autor

Kari Kilgore started her first published novel Until Death in Transylvania, Romania, and finished it in Room 217 at the Stanley Hotel in Estes Park, Colorado, where Stephen King got the idea for The Shining. That's just one example of how real world inspiration drives her fiction.

Kari's first published novel Until Death was included on the Preliminary Ballot for the Bram Stoker Award for Outstanding Achievement in a First Novel in 2016. It was also a finalist for the Golden Stake Award at the Vampire Arts Festival in 2018.

Recent professional short story sales include three to Fiction River anthology magazine, with the first due out in the September issue. Kari also has two stories in a holiday-themed anthology project with Kristine Kathryn Rusch due out over the holidays in 2019.

Kari writes fantasy, science fiction, horror, and contemporary fiction, and she's happiest when she surprises herself. She lives at the end of a long dirt road in the middle of the woods with her husband Jason Adams, various house critters, and wildlife they're better off not knowing more about.

Kari's novels, novellas, and short stories are available at www.spiralpublishing.net, which also publishes books by Frank Kilgore and Jason Adams.
