Wild Men of Alaska 01 - Impact

cutthroat fishing brought out in people.
    “Yo, Hunt!”
    Garrett turned from surveying the area to see Judd Iverson stepping out of a brown Jeep. Garrett hadn’t seen Judd in two years, but he looked as though he hadn’t changed much, still had that playful swagger as though he hadn’t a care in the world. Judd had grayed more at the temples, but it looked good on him. Straight dark brows slashed over eyes that noticed the slightest infraction, unless a woman was in the vicinity. It would be fun working with Judd again, as long as Garrett remembered not to be coerced into joining in any poker games.
    “Iverson, you dog. How ya been?” he asked, slapping his hand out for a bone-crushing shake.
    “Same as ever.” Judd focused on the surfboard. “Couldn’t have left the board at home, could you?”
    Garrett’s face split into a grin. “Not a chance. Gotta have something to do on my off time.”
    “Right,” Judd scoffed. “Like we’re going to get any time to breathe once fishing starts. Your memory’s fading, old man.”
    “Last I heard, you had a few years on me. Like five.”
    “Damn, it’s good to have you here.” Judd slapped him on the back. “I was glad to hear you wanted a change of scene. We can use all the help we can get. I take it Homer’s not treating you well?”
    Homer had lost its appeal since his “friend with benefits” had revoked his bedding rights. Garrett shook off the melancholy. He’d had his chance with Mel Bennett and hadn’t taken advantage of it, though she might have been the one woman who wouldn’t have tethered him. He disregarded the thought and focused on Judd.
    “Homer’s fine,” Garrett answered. “I just wanted a little more action.”
    Judd grabbed Garrett’s bag and threw it into the back of the open Jeep. “There’s no shortage of action around here.”
    Just what he was after.

    FUN FACTS
    about the author

    - Tiffinie spends most of her summers working as a commercial salmon fisherman (er, woman), in Bristol Bay on the Bering Sea of Alaska.
    - Goes weak in the knees for "muscle cars." Mustangs, Camaros, and Chargers are right at the top of her list to own, race, or just sit in.
    - She is an accomplished potter with her own studio. When she's not writing, fishing or traveling, you can usually find her throwing clay on her wheel.
    - Her favorite foods are seafood (fisherman remember), olives, artichokes, mushrooms, cheese in general (unless it's processed and packaged in a cellophane wrapper), cheesecake (pretty much any kind, although she doesn't see much point in eating desserts unless it has chocolate in it) and all breads (which seem to adhere to her hips faster than sugar and Cheetos).
    - Is a gypsy at heart, with a wandering spirit and restless feet.
    - Enjoys flying in airplanes or being on the ocean, yet she suffers from motion sickness. When deep sea fishing, she's always the first one to chum the waters. That's usually when the fishing really gets started. Coincidence? I think not.
