Here’s the set-up:

“Though we were four years younger than Ariya, we’d watched teenagers before at an older cousin’s house. They talked on the phone, they texted their boyfriends, they watched movies on DVDs. Sometimes, they tidied up the house by wiping the table with a damp sponge after feeding us, removing the crumbs and ring spots from the bottom of our glasses. But we’d never seen any of them work like Ariya did.”

Twin sisters. Stepdaughters. Neighbors. In this short fiction, the lives of the twins are forever changed when their mother remarries and they move next door to a family unlike their own. Could their lives have been different with a flip of a coin?

Here’s the set-up:

This is the FIRST BOOK in the Cathy Dixon series.

Catherine Dixon is everyone’s dreamgirl. Girls want to be her. Men want to be with her. From her charming smile to her gentle voice, one always turns to take a second look at Cathy. Wherever she goes there isn’t an ill word spoken about her. Her job as Vice President of Communications at MoonStar, one of the world’s top hotel chains is to make sure guests are happy to the point of perfection.

From the blue oceans of Antigua to the bustling streets of Vietnam, the racing adrenaline at the Green Hell, the devastating natural disaster in Japan and the stunning architecture in Germany, Cathy finds herself in a whirlwind of fine dining, plush clothes and sheer extravagance. But is perfection only a mask for untold disaster? In a job that deals so much with people, Cathy goes home to an empty bed. There are no pictures on her wall, no doting phone calls from a tongue tied lover and no family holidays to boast about.

What is Cathy’s secret and how will her world change when the world knows? What is the significance of the blue pendant round her neck? Who is the mysterious man she is seen with every three months? What are the contents of the brown envelope delivered to her on the fifteenth of every month? Will her secrets ever catch up with her or will Cathy continue to sail alongside perfection in the world she has created for herself as a Frequent Traveller?

From the reviewers:

As always Pandora has delivered a stunning piece. While it will not be an easy read for everyone, some might not finish this book and some may mistake it for unnecessary information, every chapter offers a smooth exploration of a different destination, a different situation and a different side to humanity. I loved it. – Elizabeth H

I couldn’t put the book down. The history of each country or city added depth to the story. The story is well written and flows making reading easy and enjoyable. – Chester K

Murder, mystery and suspense, the three ingredients needed to a great novel, which is why I had a hard time putting this one down and am super excited to read other books from Pandora Poikilos. – Daniel Dennis

One part travel brochure, two parts hotels’ insider secrets, and four parts dark Big Brother intrigue, Frequent Traveller is all good reading. Pandora Poikilos has struck just the right balance to keep the sinister plot line moving while giving readers a behind-the-scenes view of their virtual vacation trip around the world. Get your midnight snacks ready and make up a whole pot of whatever it is you drink, ’cause you’re gonna be up all night with this delicious read. – Georgia Saunders, Author of Home Street Home
