Book Cover & Preview Text
Monday; January 10, year 2013 it is my first day at Texas State Technical College located in the town of Harlingen and the state of Texas; the morning was nice, the sunrise to the horizon. My name is Jose Rodriguez I‘m 24 years old, and viewing the beautiful dawn from the window on my dorm. “Hey it is your turn to use the shower dude” I hear my younger brothers voice. “Yeah I’ll be right there” I replied. I took a deep breath then exhaled, ‘oh well it’s time to get ready and pick up some breakfast at the cafeteria’ the thought passed through my head. The shower. While letting the warm water run down my body the only thing going through my mind was my first day at work; when I was finished with my classes for the day I am reporting to the Rampart Environmental Detective Agency(R.E.D) for my first shift of detective patrol, well more like training and hopefully I did not get shot on the job; but oh well right? After drying myself with a towel and being half dressed only wearing my shorts and shoes; I filled a toothbrush with Colgate Total brand toothpaste and began to brush my teeth smoothly. Glancing at the mirror on top of the sink about every fifteen seconds; I rinsed my mouth until I finished and let out a sign of relief “Ah”. Stepping out of the shower room while easily twisting my neck side to side erupting the synovial fluid located in a small sack in between joints, I reached for the dorm keys and walked slowly towards the drawers located inside my bedroom and pulled out a shirt and put it on. All dressed up and ready for class in my cargo shorts, stick on sneakers, black ankle socks, and plain black shirt. My average muscles going off ease with the correct posture; “come on bro, the tacos will run out if we don’t hurry” my brother persisted as he opened the dorm door and stepped out. I followed him then closed the door and locked it behind me; my brother’s name is Max, he is about six foot one in height and weighs about two hundred and thirty pounds, where as I reach about five foot eight in height and weigh only one hundred and eighty. The both of us entered the cafeteria and took a seat, “the usual for both of you?” a girl asked, “yes please, the two tacos, orange juice and toast please” I replied. A simple waitress dressed in regular clothing: black slacks, red shirt and comfortable shoes for walking; and the waitress wrote the order then walked away. “Erica and Lulu were supposed to meet us here as well” said Max. “Yeah but remember they are girls, they have to put on make up, decide what makes them look fat and what not” I rambled and Max turned away while I made eye contact and laughed. There was a pause his face was to distinguish the scene as if running into such a trap; like when a dog bites the owners hand. The last time I was in this situation things did not look so good for my outcome; I ended up thrown out of the house because I went out of line with my parents. However I did wrong and had to pay for it back then, after all they did support me with money and until now they do help when they can. They are behind me right?” I asked, and Max nodded, “yeah you are in trouble now brother” he said as he smiled, “we look fat?” asked Erica, “ha ha, no you don’t look fat you look beautiful; I was simply just making a point that’s all” I said.

About the Author
Good and Evil will always co-exist in the world. When evil gains more power over the other, the balance shifts and a hero arises from the depths of the shadows. My name is Jose Rodriguez, i live in the small city of Elsa located in the State of Texas. As a kid i grew up with a great imagination only i didn't know how to use it. While attending Edcouch Elsa High School i wrote my first book on paper, just as an experiment to see if i could actually do it. After writing that book project title (WW III), i stopped writing books for a few years but still wrote minor scenes here and there. I have this luck to be jobless most of the time but i am surviving. I like to thank God, at first with this book, the ideas came into play one day while i was broke and at the workforce, an email to publish my book with Authorhouse, i submitted the information believing it was a hoax but then a call from a representative in a matter of hours. Second thanks go to my best friends and family; you know who you are. The character roles might be small for you now, but it's just the beginning...There will be more to the R.E.D chronicles. Detective Rodriguez will return i guarantee you that. If you love a simple story with adequate detail, love, action, adventure. If you like to just sit down and read, then give R.E.D: The Texas Murders a try. I am currently working on book#2, "R.E.D: Legend of Blood Moon," it follows and concludes the first book in a weird way. But it does not stop there, there will be more books to come, a total of three more to finish the R.E.D series then begins Genocide and After Genocide. I hope you all enjoy reading this.
