From the Writer

Victoria Napolitano VictoriaNapolitano.com Victoria was a shy kid, and at the age of seven she discovered writing poetry let her escape and express how she felt. Over the years, Victoria became a voracious reader of poetry, romance, mysteries, and biographies. In 2001, Victoria suffered a debilitating injury that left her almost blind for a year. During her long recovery, she began to learn Braille, and she wrote short stories and in the dark. Her poem, Hello Dispatch, was written to thank the men and women from the police department who supported her throughout her long recovery.

jury, she opened a small writing boutique on Cannery Row in Monterey, California. Passersby could watch her through the window writing calligraphy at her lighted table. She would have customers tell her five words to describe their loved one, and she would create a beautiful poem or letter incorporating those words. The local newspaper took notice and featured her in an article, calling her a modern day Cyrano de Bergerac. A year later Victoria moved her boutique to Carmel, California.

Victoria started writing poetry and love letters for the wives and girlfriends of her romantically clueless colleagues at the police department. She was published in the police newspaper several times.

Today, Victoria is CEO of a media production company based in San Francisco, but she also continues to write. The media took notice again in 2014, and Victoria was a special guest on The Willis Report on Fox Business Network.

PROLOGUE “Of course,” the nurse replied. Expertly taking a small cup from Seth’s hospital tray. and pouring water without missing a beat. During their conversation, the woman sitting in the lounge chair abruptly stood up and rushed to the side of Seth’s bed. “Seth!” The woman exclaimed! Seth woke up feeling groggy and out of sorts. He attempted to lift his arms but they felt like weights. Seth looked around and realized he was in a hospital bed. The room had a soft glow and there was a woman slumped in a lounge chair on the right of him sleeping. Seth looked over his body and saw his leg was in traction and he had bandages over his arms and right leg. A nurse quickly entered the room with a surprised look on her face. “Seth, Seth Kortright?” the beautiful nurse said as she approached Seth. “I’m nurse Lisa. How are you feeling?” Lisa asked looking at the monitors and checking Seth’s vitals. Seth throat was sore and itchy. tle)

“Could I possibly (cough a litget some water,”. Seth asked.

Seth looked over at the woman and smiled as best he could. “Hi?” Seth said I. More of a question than a statement. “ “Seth, it Ashby, Ashby your cousin.” Ashby had big beautiful brown eyes and looked to be about twenty years old. She was petite with blonde hair and a warm smile. Seth instantly felt the connection between the two of them. “Ashby,” Seth said smiling. Seth had raised Ashby when her parents were killed in a plane crash. They seemed to be more like brother and sister than cousins. The nurse interrupted the two talking. “Seth, the doctor will be in to see you.” Nurse Lisa patted Seth on the shoulder, “Welcome back,”smiled and walked out the door. “How long have I been in here.” Seth asked Ashby with a

puzzled look. “Four months,” Ashby replied. “Four months?” Seth repeated as his voice trailed off. “Do you remember anything from that night,” Ashby asked concerned about the tragic event that lead put Seth being put into the hospital. Seth sat perplexed. His eyes darting around. “No, I don’t” Seth said regretfully. Ashby looked heartbroken. She stood there trying to gather her thoughts. How was she going to tell him? How could she explain to him what happened in San Francisco? She stood there silent. “What happened, Ashby?” “Seth,” Ashby said in a pleading voice, not sure what to do. “I want to know what happened!” Seth voice cracked as he angrily shouted out the words. “Sinclair,” Seth shouted looking around frantically. “Where’s Sinclair?” Seth looked up at Ashby. Ashby swallowed hard,” Seth, I wish I didn’t have to tell you...” “Mr. Kortright!” the doctor said as he entered the room. “How are you feeling?”

About Seth

I

was born in Boston, Massachusetts, but spent very little time there. My parents moved our family to the Bay Area just before I started kindergarten. My family moved quite a bit as I was growing up, living not only in California but also on the East Coast in Georgia, Virginia, and Florida. I attended three different high schools, which was difficult at the time but helped teach me how to adapt to different environments and ultimately rounded me out as a person.

About Alondria

I

was born and raised in the Bay Area, near San Jose, California. Recently, I moved to Malibu to attend Pepperdine University, where I am majoring in organizational communications. My passion for fitness began when I was a young girl, competing in gymnastics tournaments. Throughout my life, I have participated in a number of athletic activities that have allowed to me to grow and mature into the woman I am today. I played competitive fast-pitch softball for six years, and then I took up cheerleading and also continued gymnastics. I competed in my first NPC open bikini competition when I was eighteen years old, and I have competed in six more since then. Most recently, I was awarded the title National Teen Bikini Champion at the teen, collegiate, and masters championships in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, in 2014. I am grateful for the support of my supplement advisor, Anthony Avellino, at Nutrishop San Jose and my coach, Michelle Brown. I appreciate all they have done to help me get to where I am today.
