At 4:33 a.m. on September 28, 2003, Charlotte Fox's life changed forever; the man she loved and soon planned to retire with died suddenly and unexpectedly from a heart attack at the age of fifty-four.

While supernatural fiction has become something of a literary staple, both readers and critics are currently crying out for wholly unique new narratives that don't succumb to recycling of the "same-old" concepts.

There's no real way to sugarcoat it; few win life's race against themselves and leave this world having fulfilled their full potential.
