It Was A Bare Room, Up Three Flights Of Stairs. Marcella Watched While The Men Carried Him In and Laid Him On The Bed. Mrs. King Seemed Inclined To Stay And Gossip In Whispers, But, After Thanking Her, And Saying They Would Talk To-Morrow, Marcella Shut The Door And Locked It. Then She Looked Round. There Were Three Candles Burning. With A Little Cry Of Superstitious Fear She Blew One Out And Pinched The Wick. Through The Two Big Windows She Could See The Ships In The Harbour With Rows Of Shining Portholes: Ferries Were Fussing To And Fro Like Fiery Water Beetles. From The Man-Of-War She Saw The Winking Morse Light Signalling To The Heads. Trams Clanged By In The Distance; In a Public-House Near By Men Were Singing And Laughing. In The Room Louis Was Snoring Gustily. She Turned From The Open Window And Looked At Him. [more]

The year was 1925, and New Orleans thrived in the paradox of its own unique heartbeat, the rhythmic pulse of jazz echoing through the narrow streets of the French Quarter, coiling around the wrought-iron balconies like the tendrils of a beguiling serpent. Gas lamps, flickering like distant stars, painted the cobblestone alleys with a sepia glow, casting shadows that danced to the soulful tunes pouring out of smoky jazz clubs. The city's heartbeat was jazz, an audible heartbeat that resonated from the pulsating heart of Basin Street to the dimly lit corners of Storyville. Trumpets wailed, saxophones wept, and the seductive melodies of the blues seeped into the very air, carrying the promise of hedonistic nights and clandestine rendezvous. Speakeasies, those secret sanctuaries of vice, flourished beneath the surface, hidden behind unmarked doors and guarded by watchful eyes. The Prohibition may have sought to silence the clinking of glasses, but in New Orleans, the clinking persisted, masked by the lively chatter of patrons enjoying the forbidden nectar of bootlegged spirits. The whispers of the Mississippi River, flowing with the untold tales of the city, mingled with the melodies that spilled onto the streets. Women in flapper dresses and men in sharp suits wove through the crowds, their laughter and hushed conversations adding to the vibrant tapestry of New Orleans nightlife. In this city of decadence and intrigue, where voodoo queens held court in dimly lit corners and the scent of gumbo lingered in the air like a bewitching perfume, secrets weren't buried; they were shared like lovers' whispers in the dark. The air in Sam Malone's office was thick with the acrid smell of cigarette smoke, the languid trails hovering like ghosts in the dim lamplight. Malone, a man well-acquainted with shadows, sat behind his worn mahogany desk, nursing a glass of bourbon that had seen better days. The flickering neon sign outside his window said: Private Investigator. [more]

....I speak of a love that happens betwixt a man and a woman but once in a lifetime... More than two centuries had passed since the great Earl of Ravensmoor had whispered the phrase on his deathbed. The heirs of Ravensmoor, intent on honoring a dying man’s request, endure a lifelong quest to seek the soul of the love lost of their ancestor. The tale of ill-fated love taunted every one of his ancestors, and Dante Burroughs was the last of the great line. If he didn’t succeed in bringing the heart and soul of Kaitlyn home, the Ravensmoors would vanish into obscurity, lost in time. He was unaware of the hidden promises whispered in the ancient deathbed phrase, or of the dreams that would torment him when he came of age. The images of a woman and a life he did not know haunted him. She taunted him, drawing him into a gossamer web that left him unfulfilled and lost in a corrupt and modern world. He knew he had to find her, the woman capable of redeeming his cursed soul and granting him the love he sought. Across an ocean, Kathleen Bennett knew the torment. Restless and responsible, her dreams are filled with the image of blue-eyed man that whispers seductive promises to her willing heart. A time would come, when the souls of the past would collide....

Srin Leston is having an affair. What had seemed to be an impossible relationship for them at first blossomed into beautifully close feelings that had long been missing with her husband, Sirling Dan. Unfortunately, when Srin leaves the young and handsome Tur Felingston asleep in bed and whispers, "See you Monday." Little does she know what would happen next. Tur's mansion is torched. His body was burned to unrecognisable crisps. When Detective Kris Dexcor arrives to question Srin, she finds out she happens to be the last person who saw him alive. Whoever started the fire had been watching the house, making sure she had left and nobody else had went in. As if that isn't traumatic enough, Kris's questions are forcing her to the edge - she wants to be removed from the list of prime suspects but was it possible for it to happen while not revealing her affair with Tur to Dan? No. Or maybe this possibility hasn't been keyed into Srin's mind: DAN ALREADY KNOWS OF THE AFFAIR [more]

This is the story of Professor Edgar Pelion who creates a replicator. He finds more than a way to clone people. He finds proof of a single universal soul. Edgar gets more than he bargains for when he realizes that people under hypnosis speaking languages, accurately recounting things are not demon possessed, but have a recollection of their former life. He makes an exact copy of himself. He has an empathic link to the clone. He can feel what the replicant is feeling. It turns its gaze and the eyes lock. It is like a lightning bolt, as they each know what the other is thinking. He freezes in fear as the other becomes aware that he will have to destroy it. We are people born again and again in overlapping cycles. Each person around us is simply us living in another parallel cycle of time. The population grows because there are more numerous parallel loops as time goes on. Edgar learns that heaven and Hell are right here on Earth. We make our own destiny every day. What we do to others we do to ourselves in another cycle, of our lives. We truly reap what we sow. Sister Theresa saved millions. Adolf Hitler destroyed millions. In the end we each save or destroy ourselves, sometimes we do it over and over to ourselves. I am Edgar Pelion and I am home now, enjoying all three Megan’s I have replicated. They are a joy in my life, for now, but once in a while I see them, heads together, speaking in whispers, and looking over at me. I feel a chill. Ancient wisdom speaks to me from the Book of Numbers (Numbers 23:23), but this time the bell tolls for me. Edgar, what hast thou wrought? [more]
