ADRIFTING
Synopsis/Details:
A world famous self-help writer -- broken and dejected from a loss he cannot overcome -- is visited by an enigmatic neighbor who feels she owes him a debt of gratitude for helping her, and many others overcome their battles with grief, inspired by his writings.
Humbled, yet overwhelmed by her story, Nick looks to the past for comfort, wishing that he could go back, even for just a moment, to change the events of a day that led to his seemingly everlasting torment.
But what if that wish came true? How would it change the course of his life, and more importantly, the lives of the ones he helped, albeit through his own terrible grief?

The Writer: J.B. Storey
My writing career started when I was no more than nine or ten years old. However, it took the form of imaginary adventures my many toys would embark upon. As I got older, I started to write essays at school. I excelled at the ones where I could freely mold my ideas into fiction. Not as good when it came to scrutinizing existing star-crossed literature written five hundred years ago. So, what did I do with all of that imagination? I studied history and philosophy. Why? For the most part, because I was a kid who still harbored ambitions of being Batman. In other words, I had no idea who I wanted to be professionally. Yet, I was drawn to history, for that is the root of all storytelling... Go to bio
