The Secret — Kristy K. James

After receiving the tragic news that her grandfather has been murdered, Kate Proctor readies herself to go back to the only place she's ever called home. To the only place she's ever felt loved. To the place that hides a long forgotten secret.Dear Friend,Consider this your welcome to Hemisphere. You might think your presence here is an accident. Maybe you believe you just stumbled onto our website, liked what you saw, and decided to check us out. Or that you simply found yourself here while on a leisurely drive.Well, you'd be wrong.It was fate.Yes, you're here because fate led you here. Because you are meant to be here. Why? That remains to be seen. Maybe you'll wind up calling Hemisphere your home. Maybe we're just a stop in the road on your way to somewhere else. Maybe you'll remember your time with us. Most do not.One thing is for sure though, you’ll never find another place like Hemisphere. It's one-of-a-kind.Hemisphere is a unique location, steeped in mysticism. All are welcome within our boundaries. We'd like to tell you there's a simple explanation for the things you may see or experience during your stay. A little theatrical drama, if you will. But it wouldn't be true. Here in Hemisphere, the things that go bump in the night are very real.If you decide to stay past sundown, we encourage you to read the Visitors Orientation Packet. The warning about calamity or death by misadventure? It's not a joke.It would behoove you to follow the advice inside. We also suggest traveling in groups, or hiring a local “guide” to show you around our beautiful town.Common sense should tell you to use caution when hiking in any unfamiliar area. The forests and cliffs surrounding Hemisphere are beautiful. They are also home to a variety of wild creatures found nowhere else on earth. Don’t be caught unaware. It should go without saying – stay out of the woods and off the cliffs after dark.Again, welcome to Hemisphere. Fate has led you to our area. What happens next is up to you. Choose wisely.
