Kids reveal them.Lovers share them.Families have them.Secrets bind us together like nothing else.A heinous crime casts Meghan and April together after hours at a deserted transit stop in Chicago.The effect is two women forge an enduring bond. Both nurses by profession, they uncover each other's deepest emotional wounds and heal one another in the process.One wicked act ignites a friendship.Will one unearthed memory extinguish or enrich it?"Nothing weights on us so heavily as a secret."-Jean de la Fontaine -17th century French poet In 2003, Jim joined a local writer's group for the enjoyment of sharing and critiquing his writing with others. Through various short stories, exercises and challenges, the experience led to the fulfillment of long held dream: to write a novel. He has since written four, three of which are published through Smashwords.com.Jim writes with his heart, putting on paper emotions that people experience, live and sometimes celebrate every day. He lives in Western Pennsylvania with his wife, two birds and a cat.
