Author Website: No current one that I can find
Why this must be read: It's probably obvious by now that I love original characters, particularly when they have unique voices and points of view. My favorite character of that description: Joe Lipinski, late of Her Majesty's Royal Navy, not to mention Her Majesty's local gaol. This is the story of Joe's encounter with a mysterious redhead, who captures his imagination (not that he'd ever admit it out loud) and maybe, breaks his heart (and he'd sure as hell never admit that).
"Nothing, since I don't know who that is."
"Your niece has already told us that you do." I give Natalie the death stare. She's almost 18 now, she should know not to admit *anything* to polizei.
"You do know that aiding an escaped felon is a serious matter for someone with your record?" He's bluffing but Mama stifles a wail and my anger boils over.
"You're upsetting my mother," I shout, not caring if Mrs Carmody gets an earful to gossip about. "I've told you, I know fuck all, I never helped no one."
"Perhaps this will help."
He holds up a photograph of her and suddenly it all makes sense. I don't know her by that name and she looks younger and happier in the picture but it's definitely her. I try to keep my face straight but my brain never was quicker than my muscles.
Fat boy's on a roll now. "Ah, I see it does, Mr Lipinski. Perhaps you'd like to tell me what you know..."
Perhaps I'd like to tell him what I know, he says. Jesus Christ on a bike.
Tell him how I met her? Tell him what it feels like to fall for someone you hardly know? Someone you can’t have? Someone you know you're never going to see again... unless you tell some gutbucket of a copper what she told you?
