My name Dr. Katherine Korkidis. Over my many years in teaching my students have affectionately called me Dr. K. I currently have three master’s degrees, two in the physical sciences, a master’s in chemical physics and a master’s in physical chemistry, in addition to an MBA in International Business and Marketing. I received my PhD in Biophysical Chemistry and did two years of Postdoctoral work in Experimental Hematology at Albert Einstein College of Medicine. After completing my postdoctoral work, I began to work in Industry. I was paid to do my own original research. As part of my position I taught at many universities and developed new technologies while having the opportunity to travel throughout the US/Canada, Europe, Russia, and the Far East. It was a wonderful experience, and I could teach and write at every turn. Eventually I realized how much I enjoyed teaching and writing and returned to my passion. Today I am a writer of sweet contemporary romance and historical fiction as my genres of choice. Josette is my first novel.

Daniel
|
The story begins with Josette at the age of 25 years old. She has just returned to her childhood home from a successful classical piano world tour. It is snowing outside. As she glances at the snow through the window of her childhood bedroom, she reflects upon her past. She begins with the events of her 8th and 9th birthday – a turning point in her life. During this time she loses the two most important people in her life, her mother and father. She is sent to live with an uncle, her father's brilliant yet reclusive brother. He is a classically trained pianist that has no interest in raising a young child. Josette lives a life of solitude and finds solace in music. The only gift he has given this child has been the gift of classical music. She accepts this gift and makes it her life's passion. Edgecliff is her home until she is accepted and enters the Academy of Music. There she meets a gifted, yet lonely man named Daniel that saved her as she does him. Although married, he is alone. Josette brings him back to life and in turn Daniel restores her faith in love. They fall deeply in love and care for each other. Daniel's wife, Priscilla, is a socialite whose life does not include Daniel. Her father was well endowed financially and never would have chosen Daniel as his daughter's future groom. Daniel and Priscilla once were in love but their desires in life drew them apart. They never had children, although Daniel wished for it each and every day. Her life was filled with parties and other social obligations. The idea of a family, children, could never be imagined. If she did accept Daniel's desires, those children would have been devoid of a loving mother. These two separate lives continued for many years. Daniel built his prestigious Academy and focused on his music. She in turn built a strong foundation and presence in Society. They barely saw or spoke to each other. Josette and Daniel fell in love at first sight. Josette was a freshman at the Academy that barely spoke and was often alone. He took an interest in her and the rest developed. Priscilla knew of their love and was adamant about not allowing a divorce. It would disgrace her socially and would just not happen. Daniel, in turn, knew the price and was willing to pay it. Josette would not allow it. Upon graduation from the Academy, Josette left Daniel. She was accepted for a world tour for 5 years. Daniel's loss was so immense that he found solace at the bottom of a bottle. Eventually, Priscilla had no need for him and released him. But he has lost all, his position at the Academy, his career in music, his position in Society, his friends, and his home.
As Josette remembers all, she hears the voice again and now realizes it is Daniel calling her. The urgency in the voice compels her to find him. Homeless and living with no future, she takes him home. She helps him to become the man he once was. Their future together is now secure.
