What’s in a kiss?

What is in a kiss?

Do you know?

If it’s any consolation, neither do I … but Emilie and Jamie may be on to something.

Jamie is an English architect for a small company in London.

Emilie is an assisting editor for a small news station in New York.

Both are living stagnant lives.

Can one kiss, in a brief encounter, produce such an effect that both begin to surpass what has been their reality for years?

It does remain to be seen, but they both do have a lot to say.

So, I will let them tell you all about it.

Enjoy!

Truer Than Fiction

This story is about me, Reginald Radcliffe Oxley. Well, not only me! There are other characters, of course, but I’m the most important one…perhaps aside from Keira, who actually tells you about it all.

In any event, one could say it’s about characters who revolve around me, molding both themselves and me into who we are, crafting the stories that you’ll find here into what they’ve  become. We create upon what is created, imagine from what has been imagined. We digress, we move forward, we lead, we follow, we cry, we laugh… Yes, just like you. Reality in a world that isn’t real. Or is it?

Well, why are you just standing there? Open the book and read it to find out! (You might want to purchase it before you do, so no misunderstanding is implied.)

Ah! You need more convincing. Fair enough, I agree. After all, one must know what one is purchasing. Let’s see, there’s comedy, romance (which of course implies tears), white-collar action (guns and whatnot included), and you get several books for the price of a single one—four, to be exact—plus another as it’s being written. Hard to believe, but it’s true.

Most importantly, however, you confirm our life, our existence, and our continuity. Now, surely you wouldn’t want any of that to fall into ruin…would you? I didn’t think so.

Eternally grateful,

Reginald Radcliffe Oxley

Suspicion is The Game

Suspicion, mistrust, doubt, uncertainty, misgivings, conjecture, speculation, assumption, and plenty of imagination is what makes a mystery book. It’s what makes this a mystery book. My favorite? Meaning and meaningless coincidences.

Looking at the bodies—and there are quite a few—if in fact there was a mysterious hand behind it all…how was it done?

Simple explanations, obvious to the main forensic finds, are elaborated with ease. And yet, doubts to their accuracy arise when common sense says it could be otherwise, raising mistrust when before there was blind faith, and creating a playful game of suspicion in all aspects of the crime.

It becomes a game for the killer—if in fact there is one—where detectives, police, forensics, and lawyers become simple pawns that move about trying to resolve the murders.

That makes one hundred and thirty-two words and I haven’t given you a clue.

Indeed, never better said, Suspicion is The Game.

Swept Away, A Story of Just Because

Richard McCauley, a vibrant, affectionate, warmhearted soul, chose to live a stagnant emotionless life, and does so for seven years, after making the worst decision of his life at twenty-three years of age.

The reader, embedded in the decision Richard made, is most likely unable to understand or even accept his motives, even when slightly perceiving there may be something more.

As Richard’s professional life soars, his personal one remains at a halt, and all would have continued the same if not for the sudden appearance of Crissy, his daughter.

When Richard goes back to his hometown in Kentucky to take care of his daughter, a special needs child, the memories of the relationship he had had with his elder brother, also a special needs child, and what this brother had sustained in him while growing up, help him remember who he was and initiate a yearning to find his way back.

The Ricky he was as a child, adolescent, and youth seem to burst out from friends, his wife, photos and flashbacks, many generously offered by those mentioned. The way Richard’s co-workers describe him is also an eye-opener to the reader indicating there is much more than what is initially discerned or that even Richard understands about himself.

However, it’s his daughter, able to see the Ricky within since the very beginning, who ultimately pushes, without realizing it, to bring out all that was buried inside him, bringing him back to life.

The thread of the book, the underlying question of whether it’s truly possible to go back to what one was, one’s essence, and find one’s self after seven years, takes the reader to search for the answer, while at the same time it transcends before their very eyes as each page unfolds.

Can one’s essence stay lost and buried forever? Does it really disappear? Or does it simply remain vibrant in a softer tone until ready to regain its brilliance once more?

The answer can be found in SWEPT AWAY A Story of Just Because.
