    Grey understands this kid's needs, having just left a career where he cared for young people in trouble. Until now, his story has only been hinted at. Break Through the Clouds takes you back a few months to reveal it in more depth. Like many of us, Grey lived many different lives before this point. The Grey you meet at the beginning of Break Through the Clouds is quite different than the man who stumbles from his truck in front of Sycamore House. His story is so much bigger, and Bellingwood is the perfect place to heal from wounds that are buried deep. He was lucky to end up where he did. While you won't recognize characters in this short story (about 20,000 words), you will enjoy getting to know Grey and the friends he had while working in a therapist's office on the west coast.

    When I posted a few lines of a mystery/thriller under a photo of a red train making a nighttime crossing of a mountain trestle on my Facebook page in May 2014, it garnered a surprising response; readers wanted more.

You can decide if you want to read a bit of it each night, or all in one sitting. Go ahead, if you haven’t already, and get your jammies on. Then come back and join me for a tale of international mystery and intrigue that I call The Night Train ...
