About Me

People say I'm:

smart, silly, lazy, creative, a girl who loves to laugh, an average cook, a bad speller, a half-way decent writer, a chatter-box
Describe Yourself:

There's not much to say. Everything about me is average really- height, coloring - everything except my weight of course and no woman is ever satisfied with that. I love my job (I teach Literature and English), my husband Bruce, and of course I love my island home Jamaica.
I'm still in mourning for my cat Picca but I'll recover soon I hope.

Do you mean "The Scream of the Crocodile"? I've finally decided what the main issue of story is and the main character's identity is being formed.

A group of foreign biotechnologists and medical doctors are setting up operations here in a remote area. The projected economic returns would wipe out our national debt and set us on the path to become the wealthiest nation in the caribbean. The demand for their product would that high.

Why are they using only foreign contractors (from Asia)? Why are each team only used for a month? Why are the teams from different countries?

His questions are ignored or rebuffed and he finds himself mired in mystery. When the threats (subtle at first) start, he must find the answers, but that puts his career and reputation at risk, then he must also consider not only his life, but that of his family.

Is it worth it or should he just roll with the tide and reap the benefits?
