A note from Jacqui Rose

Just to tell you about my short story, it’s called, Before Noon. The idea for the title came to me because I’m fascinated with time and the unexpected. The sliding doors of life. How our lives can change in a matter of minutes or hours or even seconds. How only twenty-four hours earlier our lives may have rested on the axle of peace and then we fast-forward a day and things beyond our control have crashed into our lives. Sometimes it truly is a question of expect the unexpected.

Before Noon starts off just before a safe deposit robbery takes place. Simple and straightforward. In and out for Dave Cole, Jay and Mike, but then events take a twist. A turn of the unexpected. A moment in time no one could’ve planned for. I won’t give you any spoilers; I just hope you enjoy it as much as I enjoyed writing it.
