Sorry for the delayed post everyone, but
trust me I think you’ll be fine with the hold-up. The Horror Novel with No Name chugs
along, here’s a bit for you (please remember this is first draft, not even
edited by me, let alone some who knows how to edit and gets paid to do so) -
“You seem to
be here all by yourself Marshall,” Corporal Devins said his voice full of
doubt.
“My partner
and one other US Marshall will be here shortly.”
“So you
wouldn’t object to us looking around making sure everything’s quiet.”
“This is a
Federal operation, so what you need to do is leave,” I said crossing my arms.
It looked defensive, but it meant my hand was almost touching my pistol. Cinci
PD had not been chummy last time we met. Officer Massy was watching me intently
ready to follow his partner’s lead. His hand was still on his pistol.
“I’m going
to have to call this in,” said Devins.
“Feel free
to do so. In your car. Away from here.”
Your Literary Posse
If you are like most Indie Authors you are
looking forward to that day when you go - LEGIT.
That glorious day when you are so successful as an author, it is your primary occupation. When
movie deals are discussed, groupies swoon in your presence, lesser literary
mortals weep with envy as you stride past, and, most importantly, your posse is
formed and theme music chosen.
Difficult questions that have plagued authors since
the days of Cervantes. Before you start to quake in terror at the
possibilities, let me illustrate what other authors are doing. Perhaps that will
help you decide.
Remember if you are thinking of throwing
down to steal another author’s literary mojo, you must go through their posse
first. If you are successful, you may be able to have a one on one duel with
the boss.
As Emersen is a noted kickboxer, she would
be accompanied by overly oiled men who are ready to rumble. Rumor has it this
is the least of her mini-bosses.
Emily Kaplan – Theme - WTF by Missy Elliot
Emily will occasionally teach an aerobics
class, and you might laugh thinking, “Sweating to the oldies.” In reality, what you have
instead, is a large group of highly energetic protectors who will wear you down into
a quivering pool of sweat before taunting you with, “Just five more.” Yes, they
will be laughing at you.
R.L. King - Theme - Sentinel by VNV Nation
A prolific author, not much is known about
R.L. King other than she is LEGIT,
and deservedly so. I have reviewed her books and Magus Stone multiple times
here, and here. Given her choice in theme music and her magical using Main Character, I
propose her posse would be dressed thusly.
Go ahead, tell her you think her book
deserved a one star. Hope your will is updated.

Janey Mack - Theme - Sunny by Bobby Hebb
Classic music for a classic lady. Her posse
will be dressed in vintage Rat Pack style. While we may not think much of clean
lines and a well-tailored suit, remember these are the guys that used to bayonet
Nazis on several continents before hanging out with the Mafia in Vegas. Show
respect or prepared to take a long ride into the desert.
Lucian - Theme - Don't take me for granted
by Social Distortion
Lucian also keeps quiet about his appearance. However, rumor has it he lives in one of those lumber-jack-almost-Canada states. Thusly, I propose he'd favor a flannel based style for his Posse.
Adam Dreece - Theme - Heathens by Twenty
One Pilots
Being a sophisticated man with a classical
education, polished manners, an affinity for Dapper Dan products and a saber
that thirsts for the blood. Adam adopts a more classic style for his posse. Again,
well dressed and well-mannered does not mean weak. His smile might turn from ‘Happy
to meet you,’ to ‘Let’s kill Batman’ in the blink of an eye if you are foolish.
Rick Gualtieri - Theme - Paranoid by Black
Sabbath
Like most LEGIT authors, Rick is an incredibly decent person. However due to
his size, both physically and literary, when Rick enters a room conversation
stops. After all he is rocking the Lex Luther look and doing so with style. His
posse, rumored to be journeymen authors, are dressed for battle and ready to
throw down. Be respectful.
What about me you ask?
Well I’m not LEGIT, yet, but if I was -
My theme – Lone Digger by Caravan Palace
While it's true I look damn good in a
kilt, and make women swoon in my uniform, I look ever better in a suit. If I ever get to the lofty level of LEGIT, my posse will be a modern
incarnation of the Rat Pack. Dressed thusly and with my particular theme music no
one will be sure if I there for a dance off or a broken-bottle barroom brawl. Both are likely.
There you go. Fine authors, decent people,
and dangerous to mess with. You’ve been warned.
