He, his beautiful wife Molly, and their twin daughters Alexandra and Charlotte were to spend six weeks touring the most remote scenic parts of the country before the girls left for college.<\/p>\n<p>When an accident delays Alexandra&#8217;s graduation, Mitchell stays with her as Molly leaves on the train ride with Charlotte. But are the two men Mitchell sells his other tickets to merely looking for an isolated controlled environment to test their kinky villainous ambitions?<\/p>\n<p>After six weeks, they ALL may be Graduating to the B Team.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.smashwords.com\/books\/view\/2077324\" target=\"_blank\">Now On Smashwords!<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/B0GZFKZCPD\" target=\"_blank\">Now On Amazon!<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Over 18,000 Words pf Kreme!<\/p>\n<p>The end has arrived, but don&#8217;t leave the Readers Choice Month train just yet because this year there&#8217;s plenty more miles to go at bullet train velocity! That&#8217;s right, a brand new epic kustom Kreme arrives at the station. Over the years there have been twisted tales on boats, planes, and in every kind of automobile&#8230; but now for the first time the Kreme goes off the rails with nearly 20,000 words of mind-bending madness aboard a bullet train!<\/p>\n<p>It was supposed to be the trip of a lifetime for a hardworking engineer who worked in secret for years outside his desert home to be a part of bringing one of the very first continental bullet trains to America. And finally the day is coming where the Wild West Bullet as the luxury train is known will be leaving the Chamber, the fitting name for its station.<\/p>\n<p>The Wild West Bullet is different than other bullet trains in that it was specifically developed to be as much of vacation as a mode of travel, six weeks traveling over existing old rails using magnetic levitation engineering that Mitchell Mason was instrumental in engineering. And instead of the bonus pay for the last three years he has worked on the project, Mitchell instead arranged for four tickets to be among those on the maiden voyage of this new fantastic form of travel and tourism to all corners of the country.<\/p>\n<p>Along with Mitchell&#8217;s wife Molly, they will be taking their two beautiful twin daughters Alexandra and Charlotte for one final six week bonding trip before the twins go off in the fall to college. Or at least that was the plan before Alexandra is involved in a minor car accident that unfortunately has her unconscious for a few days. With the accident forcing Alexandra to miss just enough school that she won&#8217;t graduate on time&#8230; there&#8217;s only one choice, and it isn&#8217;t the choice Mitchell Mason ever wanted to make.<\/p>\n<p>With a six week summer school course to get Alexandra graduated and back on track, one parent will need to stay with her during her schooling and recovery, the other able to go with Charlotte and enjoy the luxurious trip aboard the Wild West Bullet.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s frustrating, but even more so because the four tickets are non-refundable meaning unless Mitchell can sell the two unneeded ones, he&#8217;ll be out a lot of money he gave up just to get them. But at the last minute, two mysterious gentlemen hear about his available tickets and come through with the purchase.<\/p>\n<p>Though Mitchell has his doubts about their motives since he never even meets them, just takes the money and leaves the tickets where instructed on a hot day in a local parking lot. <\/p>\n<p>Either way, it&#8217;s time for an adventure, his beautiful redheaded wife and Alexandra&#8217;s twin sister, identical in every way but her blonde hair, to shoot off at bullet train speed on a trip they will never forget&#8230; unless of course they get their brains screwed out.<\/p>\n<p>Curtis Gibbs and Roland Shaw were never the ones anyone looked at first, not in their lives, nor their careers. They were the B team, the backup, and life really screwed them over in missing out on all the fun. But these two men joined forces and are using their somewhat twisted pasts to create a more fittingly villainous future&#8230; and it all begins with a bullet train trip out of the desert.<\/p>\n<p>The smaller Curtis is perhaps more the brains of the operation, though Roland definitely has his talents, and where Curtis once worked technical installations for a man named Frank, notorious in the news of the past number of years for his Fun Time Casino operations and his nephew&#8217;s beach resort gadgetry, Curtis stole some of that unique tech and has been working on something of his own&#8230; a device he amusingly calls a Funuator. <\/p>\n<p>Former Detective Roland Shaw was always determined to get his man, though now he may be more focused on getting his woman, as in any woman around&#8230; and what changed his mind was more of a who than a what, two different perps he was investigating leads on, trying to track down&#8230; one known as the Dude, the other called simply Tuner.<\/p>\n<p>But however their unique past has shaped them, the next six weeks are all about their future, and when Mitchell Mason shows up with a fully healed and graduated Alexandra to pick up Molly and Charlotte, just what kind of state will they find them in, and will the B Team have all the answers they never wanted to hear about just what happened over the entire train ride?<\/p>\n<p>Get ready to B tempted, get ready to B transformed, get ready to B horny, because Readers Choice Month is Graduating to the B Team in an epic origin adventure of brand new Kremey villains that barrels right through every twist and turn as fast as a bullet.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.smashwords.com\/books\/view\/2077324\" target=\"_blank\">Now On Smashwords!<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/B0GZFKZCPD\" target=\"_blank\">Now On Amazon!<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Coming next&#8230; It&#8217;s August&#8230; and it&#8217;s HOT&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As an engineer, Mitchell Mason always has a plan, but plans can fail.
