She's been able to see ghosts since her mother tried to murder her when she was five years old. No way does she want anyone to know she can talk to spooks.

The ghost she sees is her foster sister, Sally. Everyone thinks she's just another runaway. Mattie knows the truth, though-she's dead, murdered. Foster kids look out for each other and Mattie feels like she has to help Sally, but she can't do it alone. Against her better judgment, she teams up with a young police officer and together they set out to discover the truth of Sally's disappearance. Now the killer has set his sights on her. It becomes a race to see if she can find the truth before the serial killer finds her.

These are the stories of my cleaning days, my invisible days, my soooooo lost I got found days. You do have to get lost before you can be found. It's just the way it is! Here's a bit of my lost days stories and my coming through to the other side of nearly two decades of struggling with Idiot. Idiot, at one time, was thought to be my high school sweet heart. But honey, there ain't nothing sweet about this man's heart! Choosing to be 'The Cleaning Lady' really helped me clean house you might say. As 'The Cleaning Lady' I see everything that goes on in a home, in a family, in the lives of those that open their doors to me. I see everything and in turn that opens doors to life lessons I never imagined, and characters, people, I will never forget! From the corporate life desk job, to the mop and bucket to be an 'almost' at home mom, the situations become almost unbelievable. But believe them, they are almost all true :) ----- ----- ----- WANT MORE? Follow MacJanny on Facebook :) https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100010381951356

Jakey (that's me) is the son of an uncaring auction house magnate who despises the art auction scene. Over his objections he's become the auctioneer at an event in a near-future Manhattan where anarchy runs rampant, crime thrives, and things get worse by the day. This particular auction sees the unthinkable occur: a well-known "Robin Hood" gang led by the mysterious Little Red Riding Hood (THAT oughta narrow it down somewhat), hired by the dad to protect the paintings and provide security, not only makes off with the merchandise, but also with Jakey and a number of the motley crew he calls relatives as hostages. Now Jakey has a notoriously prickly personality (even among his family), so he figures the best way to deal with Little Red Riding Hood and her crew is to be as prickly as humanly possible. What he actually sets up, however, is a dangerous game of psychological chicken where one false move could very well be his last. The stakes couldn't be any higher... right?
