"Learn, kid, to never reflect. It'll kill you before your mistakes will." ___________________ Content to be left alone, writer Lark Helm has developed a lifestyle that keeps him under the radar. But when private detective Lucy Write arrives in the sleepy coastal town and starts asking questions about a missing person, Lark's past begins to unravel and his reserved nature comes into direct examination. Lucy quickly finds herself balancing the persistent needs of her client, Mr. Sunday, and an interest in the silent, thoughtful writer. How far will Lark go to keep everyone at arms length? And what about Lark's past is so dark that he's condemned himself to a solitary life? ___________________ ***New chapters every Sunday evening! ***Heads up: this is more or less a first draft. I'm releasing chapters as I write them. Once I've completed the book, I'll be going back to edit each part. And although I can't yet predict what must stay and what must go, there's a charm to a first draft that makes it a book all on its own. ___________________
