About this ebook
Aria, a young beauty traveling through Chicago’s Union Station during the Corona Virus pandemic refuses to wear a mask which sets off negative reactions from other passengers: Darcy, an elderly woman who fears for her grandson Donnie and her own mortality: Monte and Janel, an interracial couple already on edge due to racial unrest, and Derek, the station security guard who grapples with confronting the mask-less young woman, but before he can, another passenger wages an uncomfortable confrontation in the Great Hall.

Storytelling is in my DNA. Having been a closet writer for many years, I favor short fiction and that's primarily what I write. Just published, 'The Lip' and soon to come is, 'Living Right' and my short story series, 'Girl's Night' and 'Romance Imperfect'. I love writing about contemporary life in an urban setting, about things that impact us emotionally whether it be love, family or crime. I was born and raised in Chicago which is where I live now, but have lived in New York City and Boston. Find out more about me and what inspires me to write the stories I write on my blog at: franchotinspired.com.
