A Story Detective: Blank Mastermind Book Release Tour

Rosemary is releasing her awesome book, Blank Mastermind! So excited! It will be out December 13th. Read my post than go see her awesome blog writefury.
Okay this a short scene from Blank Mastermind enjoy, then go get her book.

No pressure.

But really.

One more thing... I thought this was kind of a cool place to introduce some of the other characters.By the way Wolfgang is the narrator, a guy with amnesia; a mastermind who doesn't want to be a mastermind.

A short scene from Part 4 Going for a drive....

“Introduce me to the gang.” I adjusted the mirror so it focused on the car behind

us. It was still a ways back, but I could make out general outlines if I squinted.

“Ho boy.” News took a quick look over his shoulder, then looked forward and

rubbed his hands together. “Roy’s the kid driving with the toothpick in his teeth. Spiky

hair and sunglasses. You see ‘im?”

I nodded.

“He’s usually sort of the assigned getaway driver, since he’s the best at ignoring

speed limits. Been driving since his foot could reach the pedal without breaking the

moisture seal on his diaper.” Bad News pushed his hat back a little. “Correct me if I’m

wrong, but I think you’ve known him the longest?”

I wasn’t really in the position to correct anything, so I kept quiet, filing away the

information on the person in the driver’s seat behind us. The car started to veer a little

and I looked back down, correcting course. I pressed down a little harder. Give us a little

more time.

“Liza’s the one with turquoise hair in the passenger seat,” News continued. “She’s

the main mechanic. I mean . . . you do quite a bit too. She works out the plans and stuff

though.”

I moved my gaze to the head of turquoise hair. Quick to make judgments, but it

didn’t seem like that brightly colored of hair would usually top a brilliant mind.

“Mechanic for . . .?”

The giant didn’t seem to hear me. He glanced over his shoulder again. “Chris is

the older guy with the cowboy hat. He . . . talks to you and shoots stuff and swears a lot, I

guess.”

Oh yippee. Sounded like a productive role.

“And Cardboard is the little girl with the orange shirt and the big hair.”

It took effort not to veer the car off the road while I stared at the dark-skinned,

tiny child in the rearview mirror. The oldest she could possibly be was seven.

Cardboard?

“Is there . . . a reason she’s named Cardboard?”

Bad News shrugged. “She’s Roy’s kid. Roy likes naming things weird. And he

found her in a dumpster marked ‘Cardboard Only’, so he thought it would be pretty funny

to name her that.”

I looked over the faces again as the car got closer. The hotshot getaway car driver

. . . the turquoise haired mechanic . . . the sour-faced cowboy . . . and the little girl named

after a packaging material.

That wasn’t counting the elephant-sized enigma named Bad News in my

passenger seat.

And I was supposed to be their leader. Only I had amnesia and would kind of . . .

rather not be a criminal. Which left me the task of trying to convince them not to kill an

innocent teenage boy I’d already shot once.

Look up “predicament” in the dictionary. I’m pretty sure you’ll see some

reference to this situation.

Holy. Freaking. Smoke. I’ll have a mutiny on my hands. I’ll get Dallas killed. I’ll

get me killed. What am I doing . . .?

My head pounded and I tried not to hyperventilate. Think . . . there’s got to be

something to do . . .

Roy pushed his sunglasses up on his forehead and waved, pointing to the side of

the road.

Out of time.

➽➽➽➽➽➽➽

Out of time, yes he is. What will happen? Can Wolfgang figure it out and not get killed?
I loved reading this book on Rosemary's blog, now it is revised and soon to be out to buy. Can't wait for it to come out!
