There are those that cling unreservedly to the lifeboat that believing in Karma hands them so willingly.

They work, they live, and they function in a world that allows them the option of unreservedly trusting that Karma has no deadline.

Until they are handed the spark that ignites them into becoming the instrument of Karma itself.

There are others who have had all they once held to be truths, everything they once stood for and took pride in, torn apart and ripped from them by the hand of a cruel fate.

Then, of course, there are those who believed in nothing and no one, to begin with ...

These are their stories.

The stories of people both good and bad, who made the choice to exact "The Alternative."

Join me today as I share a brief glimpse into Chapter 6 of "The Alternative."

"Eternally Yours."

The Mayor of NEW YORK is in love. It IS love ... isn't it? He's the man the pundits view as a likely candidate for the Highest Office in the Land. Highly respected and well connected. Of course ... it just has to be love.

A brief extract.

Chapter 4. Eternally Yours.

Saturday 09/15/09. 9. 30 am. New York City. Penthouse Trump Towers.

The man hung up the phone and smiled at his reflection in the large mirror.

Finally, after all this time spent waiting, tomorrow will be ours. All of our tomorrows, forever more. Just us, together at last, the way it was meant to be. You smile back at me from the framed photograph that takes pride of place on my bedside table.

It’s an older picture and I have so many others, but this one…this one is my all-time favorite…that smile is just for me, and not meant to be shared with your millions of fans worldwide. 

Tonight it is your hometown crowd… and New York does love its favorite girl.  

Another sellout concert my darling, no mean feat at Madison Square Garden. I will as always be front row center, cheering and bellowing just like the rest of them, yet nursing happily my own special secret, our secret.  

When you send me our little signal, my heart will swell with pride, as it always does. 

I have waited too long for this night…way-way too long. 

No matter. I understood your need to do this last world tour. You had to say your farewells to all the people that adore you on a global scale. You enslaved them as always, leaving them begging and screaming for more.

That is the way to do it my sweet one … always leave them wanting more. 

I glance around at all the memories, the wonderful photographs of you at every stage of your astronomical rise  We have so much time to catch up on …, and finally, our together time will begin. 

I will spend today completing all the myriad arrangements; I still have much to do. I couldn’t possibly leave this to my staff to attend to.  

Everything must go perfectly, and the best way to ensure that of course, is to do it myself.

I look forward to hearing your thoughts.

Again my sincere thanks to my host, and to the great crew at 4 Wills Publishing for organizing my blog tour.
