Sample text:

Kendra Williams winced at her brother’s lack of respect. Then she slapped him on the back of his head and pulled him away from the Randall County Sheriff, Mac Lawrence. “Settle down, Case. Mind your manners.”

“He can’t keep us out of that meeting, Kennie.”

Kendra dragged her head-strong, younger brother through the lobby of the county courthouse by the breast of his leather biker jacket; past the bronze statue of the coal miner and portraits of twenty Miss Randall Counties, including his twin sister, Lacey. Kendra tossed him toward the double glass doors facing Main Street. “Casey, there is a time and a place for everything, and right now is not the time or the place for your temper. I hate this as much as you do, but we have to live here with these people and pissing of the sheriff isn’t going to help our cause.”

“That old windbag can’t keep us out of a public meeting that has to do with our land!”

“Get your ass in the truck and wait for me.”

Casey stood his ground, both an annoying and admirable trait shared by all of the Williams clan. Kendra put her hands low on her hips and released a calming breath. In addition to the stubborn streak, Casey had a knack for dragging trouble with him wherever he went. After a brief moment that felt like ten minutes, Casey turned and strode out of the building.

“He’s a pistol, Kennie.” The sheriff slid next to her and put his hands in his trouser pockets, his head moving from side to side in forlorn desperation.

Kendra ran a hand through her short hair and grimaced, keeping her focus straight ahead. “That he is, Mac. I just wish he’d quit misfiring.” She turned to face her old friend. “So, you gonna let me in that meeting?”
