Project Echinacea - editing
Upstate New York, 1846.ย
The Before is all Florence Hill can think about. The time before sickness and drunkenness overcame her family. Tirelessly working as a maid, Florence vows to bring back the happiness of her past for not only herself but also for her sister.
She finds her well-laid plans disrupted by not only the rampant spread of sickness but by two vastly different men who bring unprecedented change in their wake.
William tempts her with his status, money, and terribly addictive eyes; even if she wanted to she can’t stay away.ย
Jason is struggling, unsure of his abilities as a doctor. He’s annoying and nosey, and despite bringing out the worst in Florence she finds herself drawn to him. Both are devoted to their pasts, clinging to them for dear life, even if that past is the very thing killing them slowly.ย
When heated arguments give way to even more heated passion, will they be able to make it through to the other side free of their chains?ย
Or are their pasts too big to let go of?

Project Wolf - idea planning
The story is most often times not whole. When you can only see your side, a single side, the other can turn malicious. How can you know when something is missing? How can you judge the world fairly when your view is so very narrow?
