This is the first of seven stories in Ripples.

In a small-town diner in south Georgia, a mysterious stranger struggles under the weight of his terrible secret.

"She saw that he had blue-gray eyes, a remarkable color so icy and deep that the hairs on her neck and arms prickled. It wasn’t the way he looked at her; there was no malice or threat at all. It was the impossible concrete color of his eyes, coupled with the long, straight nose and daring cheekbones, which pro­duced the unsettling effect that he could see straight through her. In the long train of people she’d seen in her lifetime, she had never been so startled merely by someone’s appearance. "

The Brothers Ortiz

The Brothers Ortiz

The Brothers Ortiz is the story of two brothers–both successful, but in very different ways. Gabe Ortiz becomes a third-highest ranking officer in all of Texas while his younger brother Larry climbs the ranks in Puro Tango Blast, a notorious Texas Prison gang. Gabe doesn’t know all the details of his brother’s nefarious dealings, and he’s made a point not to ask, to protect their relationship. But when Larry is murdered during a home invasion in a rented beach house, Gabe has no choice but to look into what happened that night. To solve Larry’s murder, Gabe, and the whole Ortiz family, must ask each other tough questions.
