    About this ebook

    Julie Swanson, once basking in the completeness of her life, faced an unexpected and tragic turn that shattered the harmony she had built. A seemingly perfect existence with a fulfilling marriage, two children, and success in various aspects, Julie found herself grappling with the cruel twists of fate.

    The idyllic life she had meticulously constructed was on the verge of collapse, leaving Julie to confront the harsh reality of loss. The pain and emptiness that followed the unraveling of her carefully woven tapestry of happiness plunged her into a dark abyss of despair. Her journey through grief and heartbreak was a testament to the unpredictable nature of life, where joy and sorrow coexist in delicate balance.

    Amidst the wreckage of her past, Julie found the strength to embark on a new chapter, one that unfolded in ways she could never have envisioned. The prospect of rebuilding her life took on a shape that defied her expectations, offering both challenges and opportunities for growth. This unexpected trajectory forced Julie to reassess her priorities, redefine her sense of self, and discover resilience she never knew she possessed.

    As she navigated the uncharted waters of her altered reality, Julie encountered unexpected allies, faced formidable obstacles, and discovered hidden facets of her own character. The process of healing and self-discovery became an arduous yet transformative odyssey, pushing her beyond the boundaries of her comfort zone.

    The new life that emerged from the ruins of her past was a mosaic of triumphs and setbacks, a testament to the human spirit's capacity to adapt and persevere. Julie's resilience became a source of inspiration not only for herself but for those who witnessed her journey. Through the twists and turns of fate, she learned to embrace the uncertainties of life, finding beauty in the midst of chaos and that of a becoming a werewolf.

    In the end, Julie Swanson's story became a poignant narrative of rebirth and renewal, a testament to the indomitable spirit that can rise from the ashes of tragedy. Her experiences served as a reminder that life's unpredictable nature may bring pain, but it also holds the potential for unexpected joys and newfound strength.

    Residing in Elkton, MD, I am thrilled to announce that two books have recently been released and are Sci-Fi thrillers. I began writing in 2014 and published my first novel in 2015. I've co-authored two horror novels and won 3rd place for the book 'Unfleshed' in the same year. In 2016, I took part in an anthology with all proceeds donated to a charity that the primary author chose. Since then, my wife and I are finalizing our Maryland business license as I continue writing my third sci-fi thriller titled 'We, R Vol.3'. In 2019 I was offered an opportunity to host a few shows on cecil.tv which focuses on local artists, writers, musicians and other talents that surround the local area.

      ––––––––

      EARLY LIFE

      In the auspicious year of 1976, under the nurturing gaze of loving parents, I made my grand entrance into the realm of existence, christened with the name Julie Nicole Weston. My parents, whose union transpired shortly after their high school days, crafted a tapestry of unwavering love, fashioning an environment that most individuals only dare to dream of. As the sole recipient of their affection and care, my formative years were adorned with the experiences of a solitary child, navigating the labyrinth of childhood with its myriad trials and tribulations, replete with the spectrum of both rewards and consequences.

      My trajectory through adolescence was marked by a conscientious approach to life, where academic pursuits took center stage, resulting in a plethora of accolades and a commendable 3.8 GPA. Post-graduation, my aspirations crystallized into a focused pursuit of a college education centered around the realms of art and graphic design. My status as an honor student proved to be a fortuitous gateway, opening the doors to prestigious educational institutions across the nation, offering me the privilege of nearly free tuition. Excelling not only in the academic arena but also demonstrating prowess in the sport of tennis, I embarked on the exhilarating journey of higher education.

      The hallowed halls of college life unfolded predictably, adorned with a kaleidoscope of experiences that included a harmonious blend of revelry, scholarly endeavors, and more revelry. Amidst the ebullience of those moments, my unwavering commitment to my overarching goal remained steadfast. The odyssey was not devoid of challenges, and a significant portion of my time was devoted to the profound process of self-discovery. Compassion and vigilance became my guiding lights, propelling me towards aiding those in need, steering clear of adversities, and maintaining an acute awareness of my surroundings.

      The pivotal juncture in my narrative unfurled during a boisterous party merely two days before the grandeur of graduation. Amidst the cacophony of jubilation, I found myself drawn to two enigmatic individuals. The first, a man of diminutive stature adorned with shaggy, curly hair and unconventional attire, piqued my curiosity. Alas, he appeared engrossed in a conversation with a seemingly gothic girl, their interaction fleeting as she darted away, with him in tow.

      While partaking in the festivities, sipping on my concoction of choice, another figure materialized behind me, placing a hand on my left shoulder.

      Julie, glad you made it to this party, he greeted.

      Startled, I turned to find Travis, a familiar face, and queried the unexpected nature of his presence.

      I hadn't planned on coming, but I figured this might be the last chance to truly revel before the real world kicks in. Plus, I can proudly say I spent my final party with you, he chuckled.

      Expressing gratitude for his steadfast companionship over the years, we embarked on a night of shared revelry – a symphony of drinks, dance, and nostalgic reflections on the bygone college years.

      As the sun dawned on graduation day, it heralded the commencement of a new
