Summary:

PAUL WEEKES knows all about poverty, after a harsh childhood spent raising both himself and his younger cousin Mark, who refuses to grow up. He now runs a farm on the island of Xantrope, cultivating ground provisions and marijuana for export, because he refuses to risk a return to the poverty of his past. Things get complicated when the corrupt police officer who facilitates Paul decides he wants a bigger cut of the illicit business. Worse, Mark is involved in a murder and a hit-and-run accident involving the police officer’s niece. Paul has his hands full coping with danger from Mark’s associates, orchestrated attempts to hijack his goods, keeping himself alive and pursing a romantic interest. ******For want of somewhere else to put this, I've termed it Other. It can best be described as Romantic Suspense.

Summary:

Danny Marx is abruptly torn from his unpromising life as an average office grunt, by a woman he's had a crush on for weeks before actually meeting her. Now facing a series of unexpected and confusing threats, he finds that the more he learns about Caprice, the less sense she makes to him. This book is a bit of an experiment for me on several levels, not the least of which is to find out whether I am capable of writing a short novel. The sci-fi elements begin to emerge in the as-yet-unposted chapters four and five, so bear with it if it appears to be something else at first. NOTE TO POTENTIAL REVIEWERS: As with any novel, the point of entry should be chapter one. With Caprice in particular, if you jump in anywhere else, you will almost certainly miss the entire point of the story. That danger will increase exponentially as I add more chapters. The kind of feedback I need more than anything else is about plot and character development, so latecomer reviews, while well-intentioned, won't be of value. Please start from the beginning.

I am purposely not going to say what this story is about. I want to know what you think when you don't yet know where it's going. The novel will be told from two opposing points-of-view: Samuel and Jesse. I want to know if this does anything to you, and I can take tough criticism. Would you read on? I have written dozens of openings for this book, and I can't settle on how to begin. I wrote this one this morning. :) Thanks! Corra

The journey starts with a single step. [Author's note: Yes, I'm intending everything to be vague, it'll be explained later. Also, the chapters are purposefully short, I'm experimenting with parallel construction.] WARNING: I don't care if you jump in the middle and review a random Chapter. However, if said review contains any comments like "I don't know what's going on," or some such nonsense, you'll receive a curt response and a 1 rating. Thank you.
