Synopsis

Nineteen year old Joan Alexander never felt happier. Last night her beloved Richard Seymour slipped an engagement ring on her finger. She is blissfully unaware that her dreams of a wonderful future with Richard are about to be torn apart and shattered. This Tuesday morning Joan is a little late leaving home to go to her university class, but she never arrives. She is kidnapped by a man disguised with a wig of long black hair and a false bushy beard of the same color. He takes her to an isolated cabin. He says it doesn't have to be his right name, but she can call him Mike. He tells Joan that he has been hired by a mystery woman whom he gives the code name of Black Crow. In order to stay alive, Joan must do as Black Crow demands. The first thing required by Black Crow is for Joan to write a letter to Richard breaking their engagement and returning his ring. What is going to happen next? And why is Mike so interested in keeping Black Crow appeased in order to keep Joan safe? Why is it so important to him that Joan's mother had red hair?

About this title

About the Author

Eleven year old Esther Thomson (later Smith) decided she wanted to become a professional writer when she grew up. Her wise mother suggested that Esther prepare to earn her living in a different way as authors aren't always able to do that from writing alone. Esther remembered this advice when she was older and followed it. Creative writing became her hobby. Among the things she has written are short stories, a three act play and poetry. Some of her items have been published. Her first novel, Broken Engagement - Joan's Story, was written years ago. She found it stored in a box recently and updated it. She is retired now and is enjoying the time and circumstances which allow her the pleasure of continuing her writing hobby. Currently, she is creating a new novel titled TWO KINGDOMS.
