They are here among us… Far from home, gifted with special
abilities, hunted for their powers. And they are desperate
to find their other, the one who completes them…before
it’s too late...
When you least expect it, love finds you…
Lately, Claire Edwards feels like she’s floundering. A ho-
hum teaching job, a string of terrible dates, nights spent
with only Netflix and bizarre dreams of spaceships for
company…life isn’t working out the way she hoped. But
Claire has an extraordinary secret ability—she can go
anywhere at all, just by wishing it. And if the intensely
attractive man who suddenly materializes in her car one
day is any indication, Claire’s not the only one…
Ever since Darl James learned of his true origins, he has
been searching for his partner and life mate, the one
whose gift will complement and complete his own. Now that
he’s found Claire, he vows to never lose her again, or
their soul-searing, sensual connection. But keeping her
safe won’t be easy when they’ve been marked for
destruction by an evil, power-hungry race. A fierce battle
is brewing, one that will test Claire and Darl’s new bond
to the limit, and decide the future of all their kind…
Such a wonderful blog. You brought a tear to my eye. (Rachael Grime 1:25pm March 12, 2009)
I love the stories also. But what happens when you're the end of your line - who keeps the stories that need to be kept? (Kelli Jo Calvert 4:41pm March 12, 2009)
Jessica: last year I was at my sisters bedside when she passsed. It is very difficult to see that in writing.... The stories we shared and the love and laughter she gave to me is my story-beyond words. (Dawn Raymer 4:59pm March 12, 2009)
As a journalist, I, too, have seen and heard just about everything. Not a lot shocks me, anymore. (LuAnn Morgan 6:24pm March 12, 2009)
Thank you all for your comments!
Best,
Jessica (Jessica Inclan 10:58pm March 12, 2009)
Kellie Jo--I guess omeone does have to tell the stories at the end of the line--but in a way that doesn't try to own them, as I suppose I was trying to take on my friend's. I was writing it for my satisfaction and not to save the story for her. That, I think, was what my teacher was trying to tell me.
Best,
J (Jessica Inclan 10:59pm March 12, 2009)
Kelli Jo - What a thought provoking comment. It is sad to think that the history of a person, a family, a town, a relationship would just stop, as if it never existed. It may not be written down, but it should still be carried if only in someone's heart or memory. You would hope that in some way a person's life was touched enough to carry a part of "you" with it.

As a young adult, death was not in any picture I knew. I felt quite invincible, so a finality was out of the picture. In middle age, I was touched more by the subject with relatives and friends that I knew passing on to the other side. What really got me to thinking was the fact everyone has secrets they never reveal, sometimes even to themselves. The deep secrets go with them to their grave. (Alyson Widen 12:13pm March 13, 2009)
