Understanding Car Suspension System

Introduction Have you ever wondered how your car glides smoothly over potholes and bumpy roads, providing you with a comfortable ride? The answer lies in the suspension system, an essential component of any automobile. This system is designed to absorb shocks and maintain contact between the tires and the road surface, ensuring stability, safety, and comfort during your journey. In this…

Sea Side Cove is a tropical resort in Orlando, Florida. Guests come from all over the world to visit. It’s home to acres of white sand beaches, tiki bars, twelve bottlenose dolphins, and a dedicated team of lifeguards.

Carly Adams had been the top lifeguard for two years when Ryan Harris arrived. There’s an instant spark between them after they meet during a rescue. Ryan’s determined to win her over, but Carly has issues she’s afraid will scare him away. None of that matters when they find themselves in the path of a Category 5 hurricane, and Ryan has to find her when she wrecks her car in the middle of the storm.

Coworkers to friends to lovers with elements of forbidden romance. First person, dual POV. A standalone suspense romance with a guaranteed Happily Ever After and no cliffhanger. Carly and Ryan flirt, but she never cheats. Recommended for readers ages 18 and up.

This is the first book I wrote. I'm currently almost done with the sequel which is due out in May. Figured if I was going to give any website money for advertising, it should be Tumblr.

The Watchtower (Part One)

I’m struggling to find the proper start to this story. It’s hard to pinpoint exactly when everything started. Memories aren’t always linear and I can’t help but feel like I’m piecing together a puzzle made of wrong pieces. However, this story has to be written. It has to be read. If not, I fear that all we went through will be for nothing.

In lieu of finding a beginning, I think it’s fair to say that this story begins at a restaurant called The Red Duck Cafe.

The Red Duck was a dive. It survived off of a steady stream of locals with an inclination towards alcoholism. The dusty parking lot in the front of the building was filled with rusted pickups and a collection of motorcycles. 

It was an old wooden building with a sloping porch and a faded exterior. One of the front windows was broken, then fixed with nothing more than cardboard and tape. Half of the neon signs flickered unsteadily, the other half didn’t turn on at all. 

The only mixed drinks that were served at The Red Duck were the ones with the recipe in the title. Tap beer was two dollars at happy hour and the entire place smelt like frying oil and cigarettes. It wasn’t the kind of place I frequented, but it was where my newest client had requested we meet at.

It was around seven o’clock when I found myself sitting at a table inside the bar. I waited patiently with a gin and tonic sitting in front of me. I watched the bubbles rise to the surface and pop, thinking about very little at all.

The bartender, an older man with a long beard, was the only other inhabitant of the bar at that time. He stood behind the bar, cleaning the classes. As always he had a rather bored expression as if there were a million things he’d rather be doing. In the background an old Johnny Cash song played on the radio.

When the door opened, a tall, dark-haired man walked into the bar. He glanced around with his hands in his pockets before his eyes fell onto me. He walked up to my table without any hesitation and sat down.

“You must be Alvaro,” I said as I offered my hand.

He shook it, “call me Varo,” he replied with a half-smile. His voice was rougher than I expected from a man his age. He couldn’t have been older than thirty-five, but his voice was harsh and weathered like the voice of someone much older and rougher. 

“You’re Ronnie?” He asked when I failed to introduce myself. 

“That’s me,” I said. People were always a bit surprised when they met me, that’s what I get for choosing a boy’s name, I suppose. 

“Thanks for meeting with me,” Varo said as he stretched slightly. “I know it’s late, I work odd hours,” he explained. As he spoke, I noticed a strange scar across the side of his throat, it was white against his skin. I tried not to stare for too long.

“It’s no problem,” I said. Afterall, it was my job. 

After a few moments, the bartender took Varo’s order and returned with a glass of whiskey. Varo sipped the drink, hesitating to tell me what it was that he was asking me to do.

After a moment of waiting I said, “if you need someone found, you’re going to have to give me a little bit of information.”

“Right,” he nodded quickly, running his hand through his hair. He seemed nervous but I had to remind myself that not everyone is used to talking about people disappearing. Sometimes it was hard to talk about.

Varo finally met my eyes and asked, “you like Phoenix?”

I shrugged. “It’s better than a lot of places,” I said. 

He nodded in response and sipped his drink. At last, Varo asked, “what kind of cases do you typically work on?”

“Minor things mostly,” I admitted. “Cheating wives, husbands with second families, that sort of thing…sometimes I’ll work on a missing persons case, but that’s rare.” Being a private investigator was hardly as glamorous as it seemed on the big screen. 

Varo hesitated for a moment before saying, “have you found anyone?”

I nodded. “Yeah,” I said. “A couple months ago a family hired me to find their son. I found him living with a bunch of other kids at some trap house outside of town. Before that, I was hired to find a man’s wife. She was across the country, living with an ex-boyfriend.”

“How do you find them?”

“Phones, usually. They can be tracked easily, but sometimes people ditch their phones if they don’t want to be found.”

“Then what do you do?”

“If I have access to their personal computer I might be able to narrow down the places they would go. People are pretty predictable for the most part.”

“What if you can’t use their computer?”

“I have my ways,” I said with a smile.

Varo didn’t return the smile.

“Most people have a handful of locations that they would consider disappearing to. A vacation spot or a town they lived in before. Like I said, people are predictable. And they’re messy. Usually people slip up by paying for something with a credit card or contacting someone from their old life.”

“What if someone was taken?” There was an intensity to his expression that led me to believe this was no longer a hypothetical.

“It gets more complicated,” I said. “If there’s reason to believe that someone was abducted, usually the police get involved. Sometimes I can help, but ultimately I’m not law enforcement and I have my own restrictions.”

Varo looked genuinely disappointed to hear this explanation.

“But, it doesn’t mean that I can’t help.” I paused for a moment. “Instead of talking in hypotheticals, can you just explain what it is you want me to do?”

Varo let out a long sigh and scratched the back of his head, nervously. “My sister stopped responding to my calls,” he said so quietly I almost didn’t hear him.

“How long ago?”

“Two days.”

“Could her phone be dead?”

“No, she’s good with her phone. She never lets it die like that.”

“What about being out of cell service, she’s not camping or anything, is she?”

Varo gave a small smirk. “No, my sister isn’t the outdoor type.”

I thought. My mind spun with questions and thoughts, however, I didn't want to overwhelm him. “Did anything significant happen leading up to her…loss of contact?” I didn’t want to say ‘disappearance’.

“She got into a heated argument with my mother. She left that night and I haven’t heard from her since.” There was a clear worry in his eyes, a look I knew all-too-well.

“Are you asking me to find your sister?”

Varo hesitated before saying, “I am.”

“I’ll need some information from you in order to do what I do,” I said. “Let’s start with her name, her address, and a cell phone number.”
