TIDBITS
INCOMING was first written in 1998; under the title "THE BITCH'S TALON, and to then title "THE BLACK WIDOW'S DRAWERS. Neither title expressed and conveyed the essence of "INCOMING" which became the final title in 2008, according the author, R.C. Harris.
The novel INCOMING has under gone several drastic revisions to fit the characters and their personalities. The settings for INCOMING rage from the nation's capital, Washington, D.C. to Las Vegas, Nevada. And there are interesting events taking place in South Carolina, pages 120-149.
NATIONAL AIRPORT has since been changed to Ronald Reagan National Airport page 254.
According to the author; R.C. Harris one of his dreams was to be married on a cruise ship which sets the scenario for Chapter 17 page 319.
The inspiration for INCOMING actually came from the author's many days of riding back and forth on public transportation in the the nation's capital back in the 1990s.
The cover was designed by K2OSTUDIO formerly of Winston-Salem, N.C., now based in Charlotte, N.C. The same organization which designed the author's first book, MY CLOUDS HAVE WINGS.
EXCERPT page 113
"Before anyone could answer my question, the telephone rang; it was a
doctor from the emergency room. Dreena was involved in a terrible car
accident. She and the baby were in grave danger. Annette went with me to
the hospital; the paramedics had taken them to DC General Hospital,
just a short ride from my house.
When we arrived at the hospital, I was consumed with mixed emotions. The
emergency room staff had finished stabilizing Dreena and her baby. She
had suffered multiple skull fractures, a pelvic fracture, and the baby
she was carrying had head injury as well and the doctor thought the
impact of the air bag might have damaged its skull. The CAT scan was
conclusive. The doctor stated that they may not survive the needed
surgery. He had only one question for me: in event that something went
wrong, which one should they try to save?
That was more than what I wanted to think about. Dreena didn’t have any
family. Her mother had passed away from breast cancer years before we
met; she never knew her father. Dreena and her baby were laying on an
emergency room table, waiting for the special team of surgeons to
arrive. I felt a tear trying to swell in my left eye but held it back.
Damn, what should I do? Annette stayed by my side, hugging me; tears
started streaming down her face. I called Vanessa, who remained back at
the house with the twins. Vanessa suggested that she bring the twins to
the hospital. I told her no.
Damn, I got to think this thing through; I relied on my memory and all
the information over the years, hoping that my recollection was accurate
to say the least. I wonder if this is the kind of thing God goes
through when He hears conflicting prayers. His will in the end will
prevail; I just hope that, as a mortal, I can embrace it. I understand
now why I couldn’t be God, and in a way I was glad that I am not. But in
some small way, I was going through a training course to play God.
In this small corner of the world, where no one particularly cares about
anyone else, two lives were in imminent danger of losing life. Here, in
the bowels of my thoughts, I must rationalize a decision that will
affect several people for a lifetime to come. And this wasn’t one of
those deals where you can say, “I’ll get back with you on that, let’s do
lunch.” I think that I had eight minutes before the surgical team’s
arrival. Now, I must access everything I know to make the best decision
for all concerned. My journal ends here, because I don’t remember events
as I would like, just images, just fragments of the past."
