Pieces of a Life, part one in an all new duet in the Life series by Jewel E. Ann is now live!
The summer before fourth grade, Colten Mosley moved into the house across the street from mine, and we became inseparable.
He played the piano and baseball.
I had a penchant for dead things while at the same time imagining what it would be like to kiss Colten.
We were filled with curiosity and overly active imaginations.
We were also forbidden to be more than friends.
But that didn't stop us.
Weeks before graduation, he annihilated my heart, and it's been seventeen years since the day I knew I'd hate him forever.
Now he's back in my life--a single dad and a homicide detective looking over my shoulder while I perform autopsies as one of Chicago's most gifted forensic pathologists. Then fate throws us a curveball.
Colten saves my life, but he can't erase the images that now keep me awake at night. And I can't explain them.
Am I still the girl he's always loved? Or nothing more than pieces of that life?

As is usual with her each written word, I cannot recommend this beautiful book highly enough.
The prologue itself leaves you stunned as its twists on a dime.
Turn the page and you come face to face with Josephine who has an abnormal job in a normal world. It left me wondering who will trim their edges to fit whom.
Josie is full of revelations, her super inquisitive brain constantly digging every piece of clue hidden everywhere in the universe. And her childhood friend is a perfect example of the male species whose mind is occupied by thoughts of the next meal. His heart and soul both are attuned to Josephine's whims and he follows where she leads.
"She led … I followed. That was us. "
She needs answers for everything, cannot skip steps, leave an undetermined box unchecked. while he accepts her logics as long as she's in his orbit, smiling at him.
Life couldn't be more guileless, simple and full of sunshine.
for a couple that loves each other so fiercely and so unconditionally, its but eventual for them to end up together in future. As they prance around on a fun new path of endless possibilities where they tackle each challenge as a united front. And have a lot of fun doing it.
But here's where Jewel's warped mind decides to have fun.
I need to mention here how adeptly jewel manages to capture confused adolescent mindset with quirky accuracy. the fluff free, non cheesy, un-clichéd treatment, endearing her genius writer brain for me, a whole lot more.
When Josie loses control of her emotions in the park, I lost it.
I bawled like a child wailing for her precious blankie.
“I didn’t need you …” I blink back my tears.
“I just really wanted you.”
I was completely besotted with the book right from first page itself. The emotions burst out of my heart and leaked through my eyes at several instances. Her all consuming need for acceptance and helplessness brought me to my readers knees.
Only offset by unchallenged love from Colton. He cherishes her with overwhelming totality and surety, he is my perfectly imperfect man. at the same time when her career path started, her love life becoming casualty in the endless struggle that is her almost empty day-to-day existence, his is a life rooted firmly in his earthly responsibilities.
"we weren’t each other’s world—the world was simply ours when it was just the two of us."
At the core of this quirky tale lies a truly beautiful love story—a story of patience, perseverance, honesty and unwavering affection. It’s a love that makes jo believe she can have the things she never thought she could, a love that acts as an anchor in the stormy waters of her troubled mind, a love that she can depend on and draw strength from
jewel can write any story with credibility and lots of heart.not only do you feel yourself change for the better, you forgive her for leaving you hanging at the precipice with legit scalpel to the brain.
But like every cloud has a sliver lining, every book ends on a promise of more to come.
6 stars for Artemis 9:17
