Radio Station Interview

 On Thursday morning August 22nd at 7:10 am I was the guest author on WGIR 610 am which is Manchester NH's morning show.  I spoke about my third book "One Came Back," which is the third book of a series dealing with Iranian terrorism on the United States.  The first book of the series is "Behind the Lies" and the sequel to it is "Gateway to Terror."  The show's host, Jack Heath is also an author and we had an enjoyable time discussing what the series is about.

 

All books can be viewed and ordered from my website www.joesmiga.com, for an autographed copy or from Amazon and Barnes and Noble.  Independent books stores will be able to order you a copy if you choose to purchase from your local store.

 

Tehran

Anoush’s flight lands into Iran on schedule.  He feels a little ripple of tension on his spine.  He is in first class and is able to depart the flight before many others.  He heads to the immigration line.

The customs officer wanting to exercise his sense of power asks, “What is your purpose in Iran?” 

“I am here on business.”  

“How long do you expect to stay?” 

“I will be here one to two weeks no more.” 

He stamps his passport.  “Good, go pick up your luggage at the conveyor.”

Anoush thinks, I am in the country, my first hurdle is over. 

 

Finding his luggage on the conveyor belt he picks up his bag and walks towards the exit.

Departing for Iran

Anoush and Edina walk together to Lufthansa’s check in area.  He checks one bag and has one carry on.  She walks with him as far as the security area.  They have to part company at that point.  She reaches up and gives him a sweet kiss before turning away.  Edina has tears in her eyes.

Anoush clears security and he is pleased that his dismantled 9mm has made it through security with the carry on and his checked luggage.  The luggage holds the main frame inside of an electric drill housing and the carry on holds the spring and barrel assembly.  After he uses it he will leave it in Iran. 

He turns around to see Edina watching him through the glass windows.  He waves to her. 

 

Edina tosses him a kiss through the glass.  She is a fine woman and he feels very fortunate they met.

Three Months Later

Anoush and Edina’s relationship is developing.  They are rotating staying in each other’s homes.  Edina is becoming more comfortable.  Anoush is starting to have a great deal on his mind for entry into Tehran.  At some point soon he needs to tell her he will be away on a business trip for a couple of weeks.  Damn this is becoming very complicated.

That is when it happens, they go to sleep one night after having sex and during the night he has the nightmare he’s had in the past.

He begins yelling out loud, “I want to know why you ordered Azim to kill Kamil and me.”  His body is sweating as if he took a shower and shaking with rage. 

 

Edina tries to wake him to calm him down.  She tells him, he is only dreaming, he is safe.  She is frightened by what she sees and hears.  She is starting to love this man and wonders what she is getting involved in.

The Following Weekend

Anoush calls Edina at the office around three in the afternoon on Friday.  Edina is the one who answers the phone.  He notices a slight change to the regular cheery sound of her voice he is used to.  “Is something wrong?”

“It’s been a long busy week.” 

“Do you want to skip this weekend?” he asks.

“Let’s just plan to do something on Sunday.  I have laundry to do and a number of other things.”

“Not a problem for me.  Go home and get some rest.  Call me to give me directions to your place and give me a time to arrive.” 

“I’ll call you tomorrow and we’ll set up something.” 

 

Edina gets off the phone and her boss asks, “Did I hear you correctly or am I imagining things going on in your head?”

Monday Afternoon

After Edina left, Anoush decides he will go to the gun range this morning.  He has already been there three times.  Getting there early he has no problem obtaining a position.

At the range there is only one other shooter using the facility.  He rents a nine millimeter semi-automatic pistol and obtains two standard targets plus two boxes of ammunition.

An hour later he is satisfied with the groups he fired and decides if he comes back once a month he will be able to maintain the accuracy he seeks.   

On the way home he knows he must start thinking about when and how he will enter Tehran.  Anoush realizes he must complete this project before he can truly go on with his life.
 

Edina is a nice addition in his life.  He realizes at some point she is going to want to know about his writings and he will need to come up with something realistic.

Monday

Edina turns over towards Anoush, “That was very good last night.  I’ve had oral sex before but no one ever tried to excite my clitoris like that.  Where did you learn to do that?” 

“I read about it and tried it a couple of times, most women like it.  For some it doesn’t work.

“Well it worked for me.” 

“I saw it working and kept it up.”

“I am very happy you did.”

Anoush asks, “Would you want to try it again?” 

“Yes, but not right now, I am spent emotionally.” 

“Understandable, would you like breakfast?”

“Let me shower first, I smell from sex and then I would enjoy breakfast.”
