Yeah! It’s Excerpt Monday.

Here’s an excerpt from Twice as High (WIP) – totally raw and draft. Enjoy!

Some days are just better than others. Madeline Crane stood in the door to the SBC, Inc. conference room wearing khaki shorts, a skinny red tank top and a grin a mile wide. The outfit was completely inappropriate for work. Which was only one reason she was smiling.
“What is the meaning of this?” Paul Shelton spluttered his indignation at her interruption. He looked a bit like a weasel in a three piece suit. She wanted to choke him with his own tie.
Her grin just got bigger. She aimed a paper airplane at his head. He dodged at the last minute, so it hit the chair back, but watching his eyes go all big and buggy was worth it. Worth two stinking weeks of silent, careful planning. “Kiss my ass, Shelton. I quit. No notice, I’m outta here. I’d say it’s been swell, but I’d be lying. You and your partners here are slimy little toads, and I’ve had enough.” She checked her watch. “Well, that’s all the time I have for you. I hope you all fall into a pit of angry fire ants.”
She turned on her heel and sauntered out, leaving the partners shouting and cursing behind her while the employees gaped like startled carp. She popped the ear buds of her ipod in her ears and cranked up the volume on Cypress Hill. As she stepped onto the elevator, she nodded to the federal agents getting off. Oh, yeah. Some days are definitely better than others.
