J. Word

J. Word grew up in the areas of Watts and Compton in Southern California. Along with a love for technology (taking things apart to see how they worked), reading and writing were his favorite ways to pass the time.
Nowadays he spends his days working in technology, and his nights writing out the stories that pop into his head. The rest of the time when he isn’t having hours long conversations with his sons about nothing in particular, he’s figuring out goofy ways to both make his wife laugh and keep his cat from shedding on his clothes. |

Waiting for Death: The Talie Ruiz Chronicles Book 1
|
Mystery/Police Procedural
The media called him the Stoic. It could have been because of the way he took his victims. Thoughtfully. Making them disappear with no real sign that he had been there. Or maybe it was because of how he killed. Slowly. Taking the time to watch as his victims took their last breaths. Detective Talie Ruiz thought that it was because of how he branded them. The word WAIT burned into their bodies. Whatever the reason, Talie, a plus-sized Latina detective with the Los Angeles Police Department is determined to find him. Saddled down with a new partner, that she didn’t want, and a list of victims that have a connection that she senses but struggles to find, Talie is ready to hunt this Stoic until she catches him and puts him in a cell. But she may not be ready for what she finds.
