Sometimes Things Break
An Anne & Adam story
By Rod Kackley
Welcome to the creation of Sometimes Things Break, the first book in the Anne & Adam series. I will be blogging chapter by chapter. This is a work in progress. Let me know what you think of the story and its characters.
Sometimes Things Break is the story of three people in their 50s caught in the twilight of their mediocrity, desperately trying to change their lives, as the finish line gets closer every day.
Characters
Anne is a serial entrepreneur, a woman in her 50s with her own business and her own hobbies. Anne has a new idea that she is sure will be a winner, if only she can turn her local banker into a believer.
As tough as it could be to get a line of credit, she has had much better luck with her bankers than her lovers. It’s not that Anne hasn’t tried.However after more than a half-century of searching, the memories just keep getting in the way. Sometimes there are too many lessons learned.
Adam wants to be a cop. This Baby-Boomer radio reporter, who was a marine deputy until the department discovered he couldn’t swim, has the brains and the courage, but is suffering a severe lack of brawn. Adam also wants to fall in love, again. But this time a real love. No more one-way streets. That’s a dream.
Anne could be more than the woman who makes his dreams come true. She could be the one who gives him dreams. If only they could find each other.
Tim is a burnt-out high school biology teacher, a man in his mid-50s who has never found the woman of his dreams. He is still looking and hoping...that no one else gets hurt.
Bree could be the woman Tim has been dreaming of and lusting after. The only problem is that she is not a woman. Bree is a girl. She is a kid. Tim doesn’t see her that way, or maybe the problem is he doesn’t see himself as a middle-aged Boomer.
All this 16-year old girl can see is that she has finally found someone who loves her and someone she can love back. It's up to Anne and Adam to find Bree and save her. But first, they need to find each other.
