Summary:Please pardon the mess . . . . This story actually begins at Chapter 51. The first draft ran from 1-43 and I am slowly disabling those chapters. The revised version begins at Chapter 51. I wasn't sure of the best method on presenting rewrites, this is what I came up with. Hope it's not too confusing . . . .
Still struggling with the untimely death of her husband, Joey Fagan prepares for a vacation she's not really interested in taking. She does leave home, but finds herself still in Chicago in the year 1893, relying on a man who just might be a previous incarnation of her husband.Chapters: |

Summary: Art historian Wiley Jones enjoys a mundane existence in the protective cocoon of academia. Surrounded by volumes of manuscripts and dusty artifacts, her carefully orchestrated life is thrown into chaos when she is encouraged to join an art recovery project based in Croatia. The moment she and her unwanted protector, undercover FBI agent Scott McCormick leave Chicago they quickly find themselves immersed in a shadowy world of dead ends and misdirection.
Scott enjoys the thrill of the chase as it relates to both Wiley and their ensuing investigation. On the surface it appears a cache of pre-World War II art and artifacts have been uncovered during the demolition of an old school. But as Wiley and Scott dig deeper they soon realize that many of the pieces in the collection don’t belong. Rather that they appear to have been recently added to the find. When Frank Hamilton the current project director winds up dead, they find themselves in a race against the clock to unwind the mystery before they are either forced to leave the country or wind up dead themselves. As they struggle to sort through the confusion surrounding the art work and their relationship they come to realize that the only safe harbor may be each other and that leaves far more at risk than they thought.
Thank you for any feedback. I am particularly intersted in story line continuity and voice.

Summary:Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich was arrested this morning, not so much for what U.S. Attorney Patrick Fitzgerald called a “political corruption crime spree� but for being the most stupid asshole on the planet. One of the many charges against him included his attempt to sell Obama’s Senate seat to whoever would give him the most in return. Yesterday he told the press, “I don’t care whether you tape me privately or publicly. I can tell you that whatever I say is always lawful and things I’m interested in doing are always lawful.� The FBI took him up on that offer and I guess they got an earful. Blagojevich also said,"I don't believe there's any cloud that hangs over me, I think there's nothing but sunshine hanging over me."
That remark made me think of John Denver’s ‘Sunshine on My Shoulders’ and this poem is a parody of that song.
