Ten Feet; A Story of Raido | Dark Romance
A prequel to Clean Slate (currently unpublished). A very simple boy meets girl story, but nothing is simple when the boy comes from a lineage of men who see the women they want and become obsessed. Bjorn meets Charlotte on family vacation meeting his dad’s childhood friends while in Canada from Norway and feels what his Dad had described as a zap and just knowing. Over ten years and thirteen snippets of time; their what should have been classic romance becomes a story of overcoming distance, and outside interference. An adolescent friendship turns full throttle obsession. Raido is the Norse rune for journey, movement, progression, overcoming obstacles.
