Chapter One
Chill, Willard, chill.
I have to act cool if I want to bump Seth Orbin out of
this big sale and I do. Oh, yes I do.
He transferred the
phone receiver to his other ear. This conversation was heating up.
''Well, you see, Hansford, in my opinion, the wood from
Orbin Sawmills is inferior and will not meet your expectations, by any means. I
don't sell wood, but in my career as a paper salesman, I've seen a lot of wood,
if I do say so. I know you're used to the best wood available."
He paused and paced around his desk.
''Now, there is this mill in Burkesville I think you'd like
and I know a man who can get you the very best deal there is. Want me to talk
to him?"
Willard waited, wiped sweat from his brow, and ran his
fingers around the neck of his collar.
''You do?" He hesitated just slightly.
"Great." A silent sigh of relief shuddered through him, but he
allowed a smile to crawl up his face. ''I'll get right on it and call you
back."
Maybe a few more sweet deals like this will make ole'
Seth hurt.
He laughed and began dialing.
Willard Wittenberg had a vendetta to settle with Seth Orbin.
His fiancée Elizabeth Koger had a vendetta to settle with Kate, Seth's pregnant
wife.

Tina, thanks for having me on your blog. I will say that by the book's end, both Willard and Elizabeth had won my affections. Indeed, redemption does shine brighter on a darker canvas.
Great excerpt!
