My first novel, The Tourist Killer, is now available on Amazon. The print edition will be out later.
In this scene, retired FBI agent, John Hixon, and his billionaire client, Julian Thibaut, ponder their relationship.
The two men who seemed to have little in common, yet made companions by a finesse of fate, stood and admired the one acre pond in the valley below Hixon’s redoubt. It was a smooth and clear mirror reflecting the beauty of the mountains in the early morning light.Later, a gentle breeze added ripples to the surface but when the sun found clear skies above the balsam pines, a painful glare obstructed the view. Unexpected events had forced the cooperation of opposing personalities. As they stood there admiring their surroundings, each man questioned how they would relate to each other. Would they become friends?

Good writing. Set the stage. Then ask the crucial question. You have a story if they become friends. You may have a better story if they don't.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the comment.
DeleteTheir relationship is an important element of my next novel, "The President's Club." Stay tuned....
In my experience, friends who tend be the complete opposite of me, are the best. They always lead me into the most amazing adventures.
