A description of the events leading to the 2006 disappearances in George town is what the tabloids called. The newspapers had a simpler title. The freak vanishing. 

Olla shivered. She had been a few days shy of fourteen when it happened. She even had known some of the kids that vanished. There were four of them, she thought. Same number as her children. Another shiver snaked it's way into her limbs.

She drew comfort from the sounds of her children playing in the backyard, their delighted screams and muffled laughter.Some memories were better left forgotten, lest they come back from the graves of the past.

Robert is based on a mostly fictional plot. It follows a group of four friends on the clasp of teenage-hood as they encounter the diabolic forces that converge upon their seemingly innocent town every seventy six years all the while one of them is slowly turning into a monster. 

Its a wild ride that spans the perspective of different characters, each encountering a unique aspect of the story and slowly uncovering the shadows that the founding fathers of their society had hidden from the public eye, all in the name of progress.

I hope you enjoy it. Feel free to vote and share.

PS. I never knew it was so difficult to write a whole book. I used to think It was as easy as writing an essay but apparently not so I might delay giving updates due to editing and storyboard alterations but never fear! I might just drop the whole book at once or chapter by chapter. Stay tuned

When Agatha becomes the Everard's governess, she's grateful for a way to escape her dark past. That is until her growing feelings for the mysterious Lord of the house begin to present an even greater risk. ***** The Everard's are one of the most esteemed families in Wickhurst.

Disabled by a dog attack in her childhood, Beatrice Lockwood knows what it is like to become friends with loneliness. After years of hard work to cement herself into the small Yorkshire community of Impling, she has managed to create a meaningful, simple life with people who actually care about her. So when James Bancroft, an outsider, makes his disdain for her clear in front of everyone in town, she knows that keeping her distance is the only option. She cannot afford to lose the crucial support she has garnered. The only problem is that the damned man can't seem to stay away from her now. James Bancroft - stoic, chaste, and looking for nothing but peace - is not trying to make friends in Impling. Still, he had not intended to make enemies, either. After badmouthing a beloved pillar of the community at a dance, he knows he must make amends, and quickly. But the more he tries to make things right with the morbid Miss Lockwood, the more she pulls away. As his passion toward her grows, he finds himself unable to cope with his newfound feelings. After all, he knows quite well what it looks like when a man does not control himself. Vibes: Foggy moors, folklore, small rural community Tropes: *Overheard *Grovel *Cynical hero Trigger Warnings: Scenes of domestic violence, scenes of dog attacks, scenes of animal slaughtering/death *Though this book is set in the same universe as the Gentleman's Proposal series, it is largely unrelated to the other books. Therefore, I have chosen to list it as a standalone.*
