Gracie is a teenage girl living in the UK in the near future where two rival corporations grapple for control of the economy. Acheron, a giant American shipping company, has established its European headquarters in her town and employs both her parents. But nearby, in London, Mir-Tek overshadows its presence. This Russian company is still struggling after the sudden death of its CEO in Strasbourg, France, years earlier and London is one of the last places where it has a foothold.
When her best friend's family business becomes threatened by Acheron, Gracie's trust for the company starts to wane. While trying to learn more about the corporate rivalry consuming her country she stumbles on an online report detailing a cold case that might not be so cold after all. One that shows both people, and entire corporations, in a light she never could have imagined.
Will Gracie be able to get to the bottom of Acheron's past and her own future, before what happened in Strasbourg is hidden forever?

Chasing Casey

Known them so inside out that you could finish their sentences and know what they're thinking, just with a glance? That was Casey and I. We were the ultimate best friends. We knew more than we should about each other. I was hopelessly and undeniably in love with him. I still remember the day perfectly. I wish I could say there was something to hint that it was coming. There was nothing. I thought I knew everything about him. Apparently not. He killed himself and a part of me died along with him. He was dead, and so was I. Or, so I thought. ** Cover by Reachingformorex ** © 2017 by LaurenJ22. All rights reserved.Abgeschlossene Geschichte

It doesn't help that she's being followed by dark figures no one else sees. When a man with incredible speed, unbelievable power, strange old-fashion clothes, and an obnoxious personality threatens her life, she discovers she is a rare "two-worlder" -a person with one parent from Earth and the other from Earth Prime. She escapes another attack by jumping through a portal to the alternate dimension, much to the chagrin of her protector. As if managing without electricity, cars, and phones on the more Edwardian world weren't enough stress; she finally meets her long-absent father, a scientist in the top-secret field of Trans-Dimensional Travel. Things get more complicated when she realizes her best friend's father, or rather the Earth Prime version of him, might have been the person that orchestrated the assaults. ___ Thanks for reading! I've been working on this story for quite a while and have drafts for a five book series. I would love feedback on what I can do to make it a stronger story. If there are things you enjoy, let me know (so I don't change those parts.) :) All portions of the story have been submitted and final chapters will visible by Nov 18, 2023. Among other degrees, I have my MFA in creative writing. I am a science teacher when I am not writing.Abgeschlossene Geschichte
