    About this ebook

    In a small Maine town murder is on the mind of one individual who will do anything to find the money owed to them fifty years ago. So much time has passed in fact that this grudge has become a generational endeavor. Michael McDonald, a generational component of the missing money, lives in denial of this fact. He just doesn’t know it yet. He struggles with his lost memories as a child, memories so terrible that his mind replaced them with a water demon which haunts him in his dreams.
    Michael’s infatuation from his school days is also involved in this generational drudge but she isn’t aware of what her father did all those years back never mind his association to this debit. After he died a hero’s death their family fortune disappeared overnight. Since then she has struggled to make a life as normal people do with a day job which includes all the struggles that a commoner’s life can endure. At this point in her life she finally recognizes Michael as the person she should have courted all those years back and seeks to romantically bring him into her life. Neither Michael nor his love interest knows of the past dealings involving this debt.
    It is only when a box of sand delivered to Michael’s door that the culmination of this generational grudge comes to an apex. Then there is the neighborhood kid who shovels Michael’s driveway in the winter. He must grow up far too quickly when dragged into the struggle of money and grudges that have stirred for far too long. Bravery should never be pressed onto a child not old enough to drive.
    And the box of sand? Well... That’s where is all begins.

    I am an individual that loves to show my creative side. I started to painting many years ago but found my eyes to be dimming. I instead turned my inner eye towards the story telling part of me. There I found an inexhaustible amount of things I would like to turn into a unique and exciting story. Fiction is where I excel.I live in Maine where many other creative people have come to visit but never left. So many famous artists live here. I feel lucky to counted to be among them, other than the famous part just yet.I am currently working on an exciting new book series call Joan Darcy and the 27th Observer. The first is written and will be available soon. It is titled, The Telescope of Elsewhere. The second is in the process of penned and this book is called the In the Eye of the Beholder. Watch closely, new things are happening.
