An excerpt from “A Taste of Death”, by Bob Clark

A familiar ring tone jangled in the cell phone on his belt and he answered it. “Boss, I am on the scene now, and I will have a full report as soon as the EMS unit shows up.”

On the other end of the line was Salvador Santos. “I’m counting on you, boy. So is your Aunt Regina. She was the one who convinced me you were the right man for the job.”

Bob Clark has been writing since first grade, but he started writing for pay when he became a radio personality and turned out hundreds of thousands of thirty and sixty-second commercial announcements. Many of those were tiny stories whose duty was to sell a service or a product. He has lived and worked in places ranging from the New York area to Oregon, from Indiana to Florida and in Mexico and Puerto Rico. After nearly five decades of slaving away behind microphones and cameras as a DJ, voice over announcer, talk show host, and TV news anchor, he retired to a more sanity filled life near the beach in Corpus Christi, Texas. There, he began to write short stories, novels and a memoir of his life in the sordid underbelly of the Mexican border. His short stories have been published in two anthologies of stories to be read aloud in competitions in high schools. All of them take place in the strange country called South Texas.
