paranormal twist.

Excerpt:
A beep sounds off as Warner locks down the vehicle so he
doesn’t wander off. No one can get in or out.
Most of the [Men in Black] black suits’ vehicles are
equipped with the feature. Of course, that’s a lesson I learned the hard
way...more than once.
From the trunk Warner pulls a shiny black, rectangular box.
I think he’s going to open it from the top, but he slides his index finger over
one of the small ends and it disappears. The end, not his finger. Warner
repeats the motion on the opposite end and a large red button appears.
“Probably pretty tempting not to pocket one of those suit
gadgets and try your luck as a magician in Vegas.” I smirk.
“You laugh,” he says. “But they actually have protocols in
place for that. They call it the Penn and Teller Contingent.”
“Seriously?”
He just shrugs as he begins to pump the red button. With
each intake of air, the box hums and whirs as he watches a tiny screen that has
appeared on its top.
“There’s a trace of her DNA still here,” he announces.
“Maybe we can find a trail.”
“So that’s like a bloodhound in a box? Handy.”
He tips his chin up to me. “DNA detector. Analyzes hair,
bodily fluids, and even microscopic skin particles floating in the air.
Anything that contains DNA, no matter how small, this device is on it.”
“Handy and disgusting.”
“Let’s focus on the handy,” he suggests.

Thank you for hosting
Thanks for joining the tour. Fun fact: the cover was designed by a real tattoo artist. I wanted Eric's BRAND (tattoo) to look authentic so I went to Joshua Labello of Envy Ink. He designed the tattoo and cover. You can read all about the art behind the book on my blog www.brynabutler.com.
