Mid-life Stories

Frustrated by the inability to achieve some meaningful contribution, Rick Stanton has lost his direction in life through a festering annoyance over his own unmet expectations.

You'd think after 5 years of being divorced 36-year-old Alyssa Von-Lynn would've figured out her feelings about her ex Husband Derek Wheeler. Yet she hasn't. They think they have nothing in common, yet they both cover up their feelings for each other with hatred. Until they realised co parenting 2 moody teenagers is gonna be way harder then they thought.

Familiarity breeds more than contempt. For both Maggie and Len, marriage this time around was meant to be a calm regrouping; a time to close the door on old mistakes and settle into middle age away from the noise of the past. But both are deluded. Len's eager visions of greatness have become tiresome and Maggie's looking for a way out. A way out of the endless pursuit of profit at the local auction house; a way out of the constant back and forth between Len's epiphanies and bargain buys. The hens want feeding, the dogs need attention, the dinner won't cook itself and then there's Len, up in his hideaway convincing himself that this time it's the real thing. Maggie wants out, wants to live her own dreams.

Stonelake. A walled, reclusive city famed for innovative technology and designs. It is a place for geniuses and those shunned by the rest of the world. However, recently, it completely cut itself off from the rest of the world. Vlixt is in panic over the gated community.

She is bored to death, and is planning to start over. At least, she plans to until the mysterious organization of murderers begins to target her, instead. Now caught up in a conspiracy which threads beyond Stonelake and past Vlixt, Miriam might have finally gained the excitement and romance she so desperately wanted---but it comes with a whole host of problems. Any wrong step may ensure death for her. After all, in order to save everything, something else has to be lost.
