Today I am delighted to have a slice of cake with author Jack King.

What kind of books do you write?
Two types: One is gritty action/dialogue, suspense-filled plot, with short paragraphs and short sentences. The other is more ‘wordy’, easy flow, like telling a good story around a campfire.
Can you describe your writing why?
I love to entertain the reader with my stories. Give them great pleasure (and sometimes a bit of puzzlement in trying to solve the clues or follow an ever-changing plot). Keep them on the edge of their seats, wanting more.
Share with us your favourite passage from the book you enjoyed writing the most
Donny pulled up behind Floyd’s parked car in a middle-right section of the huge parking lot. As Floyd began to get out, Donny said, “Hey, man, looks like your back tire is flat.”
“What?”
“Wait a second, dude.” Donny had Floyd stay in the car. He backed up and then drove forward again, slanting his car to shine the headlights on the rear of Floyd’s vehicle. The men could see both tires were flat.
“What the hell!” Benson got out, slamming the door in anger. Donny put the car in PARK and left the motor running and the lights on. He got out to join Floyd.
A shadow raced from between the row of cars behind them while they crouched down to examine the tires. The figure scurried like a crab around the hidden side of Donny’s car. It came upon them unawares. Because of the loud, close noise of Donny’s engine, they didn’t hear the approaching footsteps.
“Damn, son, someone slashed both your ti—”
The shadow brutally jerked Donny’s head back with a strong gloved hand over the mouth and drove a deadly knife blade into Appleton’s right eye as the man knelt, watching his buddy Floyd leaning in to get a closer look at the tires. As Benson twisted around in his squatted position to see what was going on behind his back, the killer expertly drove the long, bloody knife into his left eye socket.
Before he could yell, stand up, or defend himself, the self-proclaimed muscleman and tough guy named Floyd Benson was dead.
Without a fight.
