Six bullets should be enough. Hell’s bells, if he couldn’t take out a couple of civilians with a fully loaded revolver, he shouldn’t be carrying one.
There they were up ahead, changing lanes. No indicators. Bloody cage drivers. He wasn’t close enough to see whether they’d even checked behind them before moving across. Probably not.
Dirk accelerated. The Harley surged forward, cutting through what little traffic there was on a Monday morning.
Bloody Mick. Typical bloody Mick. Lying on his back in a hospital bed, barking out orders. Do this. Do that. Bring my ex-girlfriend to see me. Take a few potshots at the bastards who did this to me. Fetch me some whiskey. Make sure it has an e in it.
Still, Dirk grinned under his helmet, it was good to have him back. Things weren’t the same without the obnoxious bogtrotter.
The black Mercedes was slowing down now, turning left into Westpark Cemetery. Well, that was fitting. Maybe they’d be kind enough to stand next to an open grave. Make things easy for him.
Dirk pulled into the first parking area he saw, keeping an eye on the car as it crawled along the quiet internal roads. Nobody else seemed to be around. No security, certainly. He shrugged. The people here had nothing left to steal. Not even their dignity.
Ah. The Merc had stopped in one of the newer sections. At least, this part had fresh mounds of dirt where new forever homes had been prepared recently. Dirk revved his bike as quietly as he could and moved slowly in that direction.
Dancing in Valhalla – 13 twisted tales of music, magick, mayhem & murder – some set in sunny South Africa where, for many, these are a part of everyday life – will be released at all your normal online retailers on 21 April. Only a few retailers currently list the pre-order edition. They can be found at Books2Read.

To simplify matters – check out my new Tree of Links for all of the above links and many more, showing where to find interviews I’ve endured, events I hope to survive, FREE STUFF, eBooks, Kindle books, paperbacks in various formats, poetry, short story narrated videos, and even some Dutch folk music. Hey, who am I to judge?
Thanks for your support. Extra thanks to those who came out to see us yesterday, especially if you bought a paperback. I hope you enjoy the experience. This coming weekend, we’ll be at the Ink & Iron convention in Primrose on Saturday the 2nd of March, then at Horwoods Farm on Sunday the 3rd. You can follow all upcoming events via FaceBook.
Cheers.
