Forever and a Day

Forever and a Day is a story or romance that happens during Hurricane Katrina. This version is only slightly different from the print version. I made corrections, clarified some statements and took out material I didn't feel was necessary. Though the book is fiction, parts of it is true. And I would like to again dedicate this story to Alvena McNeil, who called with with frequents updates as she and her family ran from Katrina and crossed state lines to be met by another hurricane and unending bad weather. An update on Alvena: She still lives in New Orleans and her home was raised. I had a lot of friends who were affected by Katrina. So this story isn't as light as you might like. It was first published in 2007 in print. Those of you who have the original version, this one isn't drastically different from the copy you read. As always I thank you for your supports.
