*This is an updated 2nd draft of my story Beyond The Smoke*
FIRST OFF I'm not very good with synopses as I'm good with writing so please bare with me. 

"I had demons inside of me and whenever they are out of my head, they are like big visible scars on my face that I have to either hide from the world or tell lies, no matter how hard I try to conceal them, they eventually find ways to catch up with me. The harder I fight, the worse they behave when they are out of their cage."

Unsolved murder crime, complex family issues and a tense seemingly love relationship.

Dylan Eastwood is a successful architect who finds himself in the heinous crime scene of a famous lawyer. Trying to find out whether he did the crime or not, all the little secrets from his past start to unravel and haunt him down.

Kate Atwood is a remarkably talented lawyer who finds herself in a tight corner when her boyfriend is accused of murdering her boss. Striving to pull her boyfriend out of it, she gives insight on her tense relationship and what she has concealed over the years.

In a twisted  two-person narrative everything starts to unfold and we learn the truth that is buried several layers deep.

But Cait is more fragile than she and her Federal police handler anticipated. She's forced to accept that childhood family friend, now police detective, Riley Duncan must be told the brutal truth if she is to keep herself and her family safe. With Riley's support, Cait begins to recover her strength but civil war erupts around her friends in Umoja and her harrowing secret becomes the key to that nation's future. Putting her faith in her handler, Cait takes the ultimate risk only to discover that Agent Koffa has failed to take into account one vital detail...he's not as good at his job as he thinks he is. ** Please note, rather than the original, unedited draft, this book is now a sample of the first three chapters of the published version of As Long As She Lives. The draft version to which so many of you lovingly responded was available here for over two years and I cherish every reader and all your support but having the unedited draft available here was beginning to affect other opportunities as I attempt to establish a career in this fiction writing game. Also, I'd prefer that the version of the work that is publicly available is the best version! Again, thank you all so much for your support, I look forward to sharing my next novel in the draft stage soon! Darcy. ©Narrative Disorder 2014 - All rights reserved.

With each page, the tension escalates, drawing readers deeper into a world where nothing is as it seems, and the real terror lies not in the destruction around them, but in the ghosts that haunt their every move. Prepare for a thrilling ride filled with shocking revelations, emotional turmoil, and a thirst for justice that will keep you on the edge of your seat until the very last page.
