A Silver Lining
Striking out on your own is tough, as Mollie Butler knows only too well. To cure her broken heart, she starts a business making promotional online videos for big companies. But new commissions are hard to find, and Mollie doesn’t know how she’ll find the money to settle her debts and pay her staff.
She thinks all her birthdays have come at once when Empressario Corp, a prestigious investment firm, enlists her services. Working with Emprassario will be sure to result in good publicity for her company and bump her bank balance - but things aren't quite so simple.
When an Emprassario exec takes creative control, imposing crazy ideas in an attempt to be 'down with the kids', she's being set up for a big fall. And to add insult to injury, the man who broke her heart, is right there to watch the humiliation.
Will Mollie be able to keep her business afloat, and put James out of her mind once and for all?
A Silver Lining is a short story, approximately 10,000 words or 40 pages in length

About the author
Christine Murray
32 books33 followersI'm a twenty five year old writer from Dublin, Ireland. Despite reading most of the time when I should have been studying, I managed to get into university and studied history at Trinity College Dublin. Afterwards I went on to get a master's in medical history.
On graduation I worked as a freelance journalist and ghost-writer. I wrote about film, fashion, music, personal finance and business. I've since given up freelance journalism and focus all my non-fiction energy on my popular culture blog, Mermaiden.
My debut novel Storms In Teacups was completed in 2011. I sent it out to agents and publishing houses and got a lot of positive feedback, but was told that the economic meltdown meant that they were taking on less authors and that I should wait out the recession and try again.
Patience never being my forte, I made the decision to publish my book independently to coincide with my 25th birthday. The book has sold well, making the bestseller lists in women's fiction, humour and comedy in both the US and the UK.
In 2009 I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia, a chronic pain condition. While living with it can be challenging, I try not to let it hold me back.
I live with my husband, foster son, and chocolate Labrador in semi-organised chaos. You can find out more about me and my books at www.christine-murray.com

This was a very short story about Mollie who'd started her own PR company making promotional vidoes to be used online. As Mollie's ideas are scuppered when Calvin has his own ideas and the video doesn't come out quite the way she'd hoped, she worries that it'll be the end for her newly formed company. Does every cloud have a silver lining?
Download this free book to find out the outcome (free at the time of writing this review). The story was well written and I just wish it'd been longer as I'd loved to have found out how certain situations panned out, it was over far too quickly.
You also get a sample of the first three chapters of Storms in Teacups at the end of the story. I've yet to read these though.
