In the dazzling world of music, she reigns as the undisputed queen - the most successful musician of our time. A woman of breathtaking beauty, intelligence, and possessing all that the heart could ever desire. Her life seems like a dream, adorned with the love of the best brother in the world, a perfect husband, and the pure joy of her wonderful children. Yet, amidst this glittering facade, shadows linger - for she carries a burden that threatens to consume her very soul - a battle with cancer and a dreaded secret she holds close to her heart.

At forty, as Katie de Rossi nears her end, her devoted brother John stands unwaveringly by her side, reminiscent of their unbreakable bond from childhood. Meanwhile, reporter Francine O'Connor, at the entrance of a New York hospital, shares poignant moments of famous visitors bidding tearful farewells to the superstar and reveals glimpses of the progress of her illness. But where does Francine get her intimate knowledge? What secret binds her to Katie, weaving their lives together for over two decades?

"Katie" is an extraordinary tale of fame, fortune, and the depths of human emotions. It unveils a woman's heart - love and hate, loneliness and companionship, joy, and sorrow - all intertwined in a symphony of life's complexities. In the end, it leaves an indelible impression - a timeless reminder that amidst grandeur, the essence of life lies in the simplest of human connections, where love and sorrow dance perhaps a little too closely for comfort.All Rights Reserved

My Girl by anya_jayvyn

Cal Jackson's new life as a rockstar fails to account for one thing: the existence of the girl he loves. ***** "What are you thinking about?" she asks. "A song," I say. "A new song." I stare at the ocean as I sing the song that I wrote, something that comes from the darkest place of my heart. "Do you even know how gifted you are?" she whispers. "You're destined to be someone big, Cal." "Really?" "Yeah." ***** She's perfect in every way. Beautiful. Smart. Her bright future is right there in front of her eyes. While here I am. Ruined. No college, let alone a future. Just an image of a wannabe rockstar with tattoed arms and an old guitar. I knew that our story would be no less than that tragic Romeo and Juliet shit the moment I laid my eyes on her, but still, I can't resist her. The moment she whispers my name, "Cal," I lose all sanity. She becomes my melody, my lyrics, the song that keeps echoing in my ears. People call her Mia. I call her my Amy, her name crafted above my beating heart, tattoed on my skin. Amelia Davis is my girl. Mine. And only mine. © 2021 Anya Jayvyn. All Rights Reserved.
