I was in the middle of working on another chapter of mothers wrath when my muse decided to take a break and switch to this.

The view from the deck of the yacht was breathtaking.

A calm sea. She could easily see the stars in the sky, it was so dark.

There was a coolness in the air.

Her brother Michael ran the company. He was the president and CEO.

Six Forty-Five, Part 2:

The day everything went crazy started off seeming no different than the day before.

Winter break. Part 1.

I booked a good city centre hotel and decided to travel up by train.
