Ex-convict Stories

It’s been ten years since I drove through that neighborhood and ran across the old man, sitting in the window and staring out into the bleak winter street. Ten years, and I can still remember him as clearly as if it had happened only yesterday, as if I am right now driving up to the old yellow townhouse on Van Buren and seeing him there in the window, his black face ringed with a fringe of snow white hair cut close to his head, not moving at all.  This is the man in the story, let out of prison in a surprise release the day before after serving thirty years of a life sentence for murder, he is sent to live in a halfway house in his old neighborhood, most of which has been erased by a huge expressway. "Requiem for Blue" is his story.

33 year old Alex Hamilton, who was an ex-convict, suffered from amnesia one night in his home after massive alcohol overdose. He was in prison for 10 years after committing a murder with a clean record. He began his alcohol addiction not long after his release, and he also didn't have any family to return to.

Blue is a 23 years old bubbly girl, she's been sheltered and spoiled with riches and love her whole life. She's a daughter of a well-known fashion designer and was grown, shaped, and expected to be one one day.

After two years, she finally mustered up enough courage to face the memorable place only to find the man she's been extremely annoyed with after their not so good first meeting. How will her life turn out to be? Will she always be a shadow of her father? What happens if she learns about the man's dark past? A story filled with insults, regrets, revenge, and heart aches. Not to mention, a fresh love story between a sheltered girl and an ex-convict.

Are some mistakes beyond redemption?

He didn't expect to fall for her. Chase regrets his past and knows it will take more than sugarplums and wishful thinking to heal Courtney's lonely heart. But with a dose of faith, small-town charm and plenty of Christmas cheer, they might have a second chance at happiness...with each other.

Description in beginning chapter. #LoveIsAWarNotaBattle!Series

Joleen hopes to forget everything on the fringes of space. Even if she decided to turn back home, everyone who knows her back on Earth will be dead, and that's probably for the best. There are only three others on the all-but abandoned space station, but they don't ask too many questions, so Jo settles down for a long, quiet life drifting in the stars. Until an unadvised manned mission brings back an alien in the form of an obsessive, instinct-driven demon. None of them are trained for this. Note from the Author: For those who don't know, I am not a sensitive noob when it comes to criticism. How to handle criticism and, more importantly, how to use it is something they teach you in college as well as something you figure out when you're studying writing. So, if you lot have anything to point out, such as plot holes or 'this loser's character makes no sense, destroy him,' please let me know. I appreciate your feedback. For reals. Or is it fo shizzle?
