The vibrant city of New Orleans was echoing with possibilities for Jamie. She grinned as she walked down the street, her mind racing with ideas for her new novel. The streets were filled with music, the smell of fresh food, a symphony of sensations. She felt utterly alive.

Jamie paused, her smile faltering, but she quickly took a deep breath. She knew she could handle anything.
