Tenants and Tyrants (Book 5 of The Warden series) (30 page)

Danato was certainly not anti-gun. Every guard in his prison was well armed. He just no longer saw any reason for a man of his stature and temperament to be holding a device that could kill with the flick of his finger. Most of his staff already quaked in their boots at his presence. He didn’t want them pissing themselves as well.

Danato felt the air cool instantly in the room. He couldn’t suppress a smile at the change in the soldier’s demeanor. His prideful gleam melted into befuddled concern. He let out a solemn yelp before his body hurdled backwards disrupting his compatriots who were entering behind him. His impromptu flight landed on the General, flattening him to the floor.

Ethan was doing his best to maintain his stern soldier-like exterior, especially with real soldiers present, but Danato knew he was shocked by the event. He had never explained to Ethan or Cori why they couldn’t bring weapons into the office. He didn’t believe in long verbose explanations to his orders, either you follow them or you don’t, it doesn’t matter whether you understand them or not.

Clark offered Danato a glower as he got back to his feet combing down his nonexistent hair before returning his beret. “You might have clarified the reasoning behind your request?”

“I don’t make requests. I give orders, and I
don’t
…repeat…myself.”

About the Author

If you’ve been paying attention you know that I hate this portion of the book. I am apparently supposed to tell you a bunch of stuff about myself to make me seem professional or smart, but I hate sounding bombastic.

The truth is I am an indie author, which means I have to work a hundred times harder than a big name author to accomplish the same task. I use my lunch break to explore marketing paths, I am up late at night editing, and I spend every weekend glued to my computer screen writing. I hope as a reader you can respect my journey and offer leniency for my
unprofessional
mistakes and continue to enjoy my books.

You can find out more about me and my books on
Facebook
or my
website
. I am a complete narcissist about my writing, so please feel free to throw me a bone. Have I bugged you to
sign up for my email list
, well it’s not going to stop.

All joking aside I am very appreciative of anyone who takes the time to read my books. Your continued support gives me the confidence and motivation to keep creating.

Thank you.
