Book excerpt: The moon hung high in the midnight sky, casting an ethereal glow upon the deserted streets of Lourdes, a small town tucked away in the heart of the French countryside. Simone Delacroix, a young woman burdened by an unyielding sense of emptiness, wandered through the winding alleys, her footsteps echoing in the silence of the night. In the shadows, the remnants of shattered glass littered the cobblestones, a stark reflection of the broken pieces of Simone's own life. Her once-vibrant spirit had been fractured by the weight of expectations and the suffocating conformity of her existence. Trapped in a cycle of pleasing others, she had lost touch with the true essence of her being. A peculiar mirror caught Simone's attention, standing alone in a dimly lit corner of an antiquities shop. Its ornate frame seemed to beckon to her, whispering secrets from ages long past. As she approached, an irresistible pull drew her closer, and before she knew it, she stood before the mirror, mesmerized by her own reflection. But what she saw was not the familiar face she had grown accustomed to. Instead, a stranger stared back at her—a woman with fiery eyes that mirrored her own inner turmoil, with wild, untamed hair that mirrored her desire for freedom. It was a reflection that spoke of hidden depths and untapped potential, of a dormant power waiting to be awakened. A surge of curiosity and longing coursed through Simone's veins. With trembling hands, she reached out and touched the mirror's surface. In that instant, the world around her seemed to shift and dissolve, giving way to a realm beyond her wildest imagination.

Download or read book Reflections in a Curved Glass written by Jack Dawson and published by Dog Ear Publishing. This book was released on 2006-03 with total page 465 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Palmer Bullock has made a good life for himself. All of his many accomplishments have been based on his very high and rigid principles and his rules of ethical conduct. Some would think such a life grueling and unrewarding, but for Palmer, it is the easy way; rewarding in its certainty and pleasing to his sense of right and wrong. He has a good law practice, a generous gentleman's farm, a pretty wife, a son, and a daughter. Then, one remote act sets in motion a chain of events which, like cascading dominos falling one upon the next, upsets his entire world: his confidence in his rules of life, his confidence in his self-control and self-determination, and his belief in himself as a good man. The story of Palmer's fall includes passion overriding reason, questionable business dealings, a haunting injustice from the distant past, and the friendship of a lifetime. Jack Dawson, the author, was born in October of 1940, in Bainbridge, Georgia-a still-small town, in the southeastern part of the state, split evenly by the sleepy and serene Flint River-and grew up in Valdosta, Georgia, where he graduated high school in 1958. Being young and without sufficient direction or initiative to pursue an education, he joined the U. S. Navy and enjoyed nearly four years of great adventure at sea. This was in the day when all healthy males did their time in service to their country; sooner or later; by joining voluntarily, through the path to gentleman-hood offered by the ROTC in college, or by draft. After finishing his militarily obligation and being released from active duty, and having gained an immeasurably greater sense of maturity and personal responsibility, he decided to pursue a college education. He studied for a year at a local college, making the dean's list in order to offset his abysmal high school academic record, before he was then accepted at Georgia Tech, in Atlanta, where he majored in aerospace engineering. During his junior year, he, just by chance, took a ride with a friend in a two seat air plane; and his life would never the same. He quit school after finishing his junior year and, after applying was hired by a major airline to work in the engineering department, all the while learning to fly and building hours and, at night, earning a degree in Mathematics. Eventually, he was transferred to Flight Operations where he flew the big jets until retirement in 1999. He then moved to remote region of the West Virginia mountains, where he began to write in earnest. An urge to write had always been in the back of his head, kept there by the many obligations, necessary and otherwise, of day to day living. Soon, through the auspices of a new found friend, a sporting magazine writer, he was writing a weekly column for a local newspaper, and, aside from that, began writing a novel and converting some of his columns into short stories The writing of the short stories, he found, provided an interlude in his writing of the novel which allowed the characters therein to decide what they were going to do.
