About the author
CD Moulton has traveled extensively over much of the world both in the music business, where he was a rock guitarist, songwriter and arranger and in an import/export business. He has been everything from a bar owner to auto salvage (junkyard) manager, longshoreman to high steel worker, orchid grower to landscaper, tropical fish farmer to commercial fisherman. He started writing books in 1983 and has published more than 250 books as of January 1, 2015. His most popular books to date are about research with orchids, though much of his science fiction and fantasy work has proven popular. He wrote the CD Grimes, PI series and the Det. Nick Storie series, Clint Faraday series and many other works.
He now resides in Puerto Armuelles, Panamá, where he writes books, plays music with friends, does research with orchids and medicinal plants – and pursues his favorite ways to spend his time: beach bum and roaming the mountain jungles doing his botanical research. He has lately become involved in fighting for the rights of the indigenous people, who are among his closest friends, and in fighting the extreme corruption in the courts and police in Panamá.
He offers the free e-book, Fading Paradise, that explains what he has been through because of the corruption.
Early Morning Blahs
Geofrey (GJ) James Franklin groaned and looked at the clock.
5:28 AM
He sighed and waited two minutes for the alarm to go off, then got up, went into the kitchen (such as it was) to turn on the coffee machine, then went to the bathroom for the morning routine.
There wasn’t much light coming in the little window in the kitchen/ dinette. It was 5:51, so it was going to be a pretty dreary morning. Like yesterday. Cloudy and a little drizzly, like it couldn’t decide whether to rain or clear up.
Not six o’clock yet and depressing. It was, at least, cool enough now. It would get hot and humid by nine and put people in murderous moods.
GJ was sheriff in a little town with a name nobody could pronounce except the Indians. Mathonamesales, New Mexico. He had one night deputy and one day deputy. And a sort of secretary/desk sgt, Maria Lonefox.
Well, he was the typical Mexican Border area cop, to look at. Tall, lanky, brown hair and eyes, a ready smile and as ready scowl, good friend or dangerous enemy.
He didn’t have many enemies, thank whatever gods he didn’t believe in. He was an easy-going sort. He’d learned to let things settle on their own as much as possible. He’d much rather reason than arrest. Most of the types of problems he faced were personal disputes that involved yelling and accusations and threats (that were heat-of-the-moment reactions), rarely going into more. He would talk to the people and make them see reason and that this crap didn’t solve problems.
