Here are four excerpts from The Kronos Project novel…
Chapter 1: Strong’s Story
Armstrong’s younger brother, Jeffrey, was in the backseat crying. Armstrong, sitting in the passenger seat, held back his tears, and snapped at his father, “You bastard, you didn’t have to do that.” Armstrong had never used the word ‘bastard’ in his seventeen years of living. Never. Ronald Kelly slammed on the brakes and let his right arm fly, his hand slamming into his son’s nose. Blood gushed from Armstrong’s nose. Ronald then put his large right hand on Armstrong’s face and pushed it violently into the side window. “Don’t you ever talk to me like that again. Use your shirt and stop that bleeding…”
Chapter 2: Mateo’s Story
Mateo Garza had been exposed to the Rio Grande Valley drug trade for about twelve years now. He was introduced to marijuana at about age nine, watching his father transport his ‘product’ from South Texas to Houston, Austin, and Dallas metro areas.

Carl would replace the family Suburban’s back seat cushions with about twenty pounds of weed, making it more of a bench feel for those in the back. Carl would sometimes stuff his marijuana in the spare tire…
Chapter 3: Carter’s Story
Carter’s blow to Stinson’s head in the tenth round altered five lives. Stinson went into a coma, became a paraplegic, and died one year later. Carter couldn’t erase the memory of Stinson’s wife and two sons seeing Stinson lying motionless on the canvas. The fifth person affected was Carter himself. He was never the same boxer. Boxing insiders said Carter became gun shy in the ring. Scared to hit. Scared to get hit. He got a few fights after Stinson, but no more TV. Everyone could see that Carter’s love for boxing diminished. His career tanked...
Chapter 4: Jaxtyn’s Story
Jaxtyn Collins had just blown up his own parole board hearing. Jaxtyn’s sister, Jayla, had made the 115 mile trip from Middletown to attend Jaxtyn’s parole hearing in Rock Fork. She had visited him monthly since his incarceration. Parole board members began questioning Jayla with a hard, harsh tone. “Have you ever done drugs with your brother? Have you ever seen him deal drugs? How long have you known your brother was a thief?” Jaxtyn pushed himself back abruptly from the table, and stood up angrily. “Don’t you dare talk to my sister like that….”
