    Could an eight year self-imposed exile cure a broken heart? Chris tried running away, in James Bond style. But when he gets the phone call from his old flame, he is confronted with the awkward truth that he's still not over her. If eight years and an ocean doesn't do the trick, what will?

    Byron Gordon

    Byron Gordon grew up in the rural Eastern Shore of Maryland, USA. One of six children, he soon discovered his love of reading, ranging from the clever humor of P.G. Wodehouse to the epic fantasy of Tolkien to the fast paced science fiction of Timothy Zahn. Fed on this widely varied diet, his imagination blossomed and he began to write, desiring to create worlds and adventures of his own. After realizing the bleak financial prospects of an aspiring writer trying to break into the fiction realm, Byron enlisted in the United States Coast Guard. He spent an extra week in Coast Guard Boot Camp (Cape May, NJ) for writing during the breaks between classes. After Boot Camp he traveled to California for training in radio communications. Following the completion of his training, he spent three years on a Coast Guard Cutter, interdicting and repatriating illegal migrants. He currently is still on active duty and plans search and rescue efforts on the east coast of the USA. Despite the intense, and often hectic, schedule that military life entails, Byron has continued to write in his free time. While writing a complete novel still proves elusive, he has composed multiple short stories and a small amount of poetry. In the spring of 2011, he started publishing his writings electronically and now has a fair number of short stories and poetry available online in a variety of formats.

      Lady of Victory

      An instinctual alarm bell woke Chris and he lifted his head off the pillow, casting about, searching for whatever had jarred his sixth sense. The boat rocked gently but there was no sound above decks, aside from the normal wash of waves and thump of fenders. Within the open cabin the only sound was the ticking of the old fashioned clock and Penny's gentle breathing. Chris relaxed, satisfied there was no immediate danger, and closed his eyes.

      The harsh noise of Lacuna Coil split the cool night air and Penny mumbled sleepily awake.

      Whuh, whut, what time is it? she groaned, blindly digging into her purse for the pulsating cell phone.
