***WINNER of the #mediacorpcontent podcast Contest*** Rebecca Fong has been saving for a Balinese vacation for years so when the resort upgrades her from a sparse jungle cabin to a lush treehouse villa, she thinks she's hit the jackpot . . . until the switch also lands another guest in the same bungalow. Still, sharing the unexpected luxury wouldn't be a problem if Rebecca's new suite mate wasn't Simon Marshall, a fellow traveler she'd met on the flight out of Singapore. But the extreme sports' presenter couldn't be any more different than the bookish college student, and the only way the two won't kill each other during their holiday week is if they fall in love first. Little do they know it's her estranged crime boss father's goons and their kidnap plot intended to stage an all-out gangster war that they should really be worried about. * * * This is a 1,500 word entry into a contest for MediaCorp, written in the form of a podcast.

Just like her solivagant mind wanders and the soft vernalagnia colors her cheeks, rosy - poetry swells from her inside. What her camera captures, spins words of hope and despair in her. Where the heart bleeds on to the paper, there springs poetry. When the silence is so depressing that you can't hear the breaking of your own heart, it's then that poetry takes you on a journey of purifying the soul. Romantic, mystifying, inspirational - all types of poetry are merged into one in this collection. Most poems are woven from my own clicks... Hopefully the readers of PENNED DOWN won't miss this one.

Blake Wilson is accustomed to plucking nerves. He's young. He's Black. He rarely bites his tongue. And he's a dogged newspaper reporter who lives by the mantra of comforting the afflicted and afflicting the comfortable.

If that isn't enough, Wilson finds himself tempted by the potential fame of a salacious story that could distract from the justice his murder victims are due and put his career in jeopardy.
