Beset by shocking secrets and fateful surprises, new ties form and all hearts soon learn that 1986 will be a year like no other. Welcome to my collection of emotionally charged novels involving turbulent romantic relationships, the spiritual and supernatural realms and occasional forays into the mundane world. Dystopian settings are the norm though expect periodic time warps back to my favorite decade, the 1980s. Moral dilemmas abound, love is complex, lives are lost and living happily ever after always comes with a cost . . . if it is indeed possible at all."What I have written I have written." ~ Pontius Pilate, The Gospel of John 19:22. A lonely, down-on-his-luck brother with a penchant for depression. A loving yet overbearing sister with a headful of schemes. A high school sweetheart with a new perspective on life. A pretty, young waitress with a heart of gold. A vivacious, talented and beautiful musician with a soon-to-be fiancée. Together, they will make 1985 one hell of a year and 1986 a year like no other.
