Author Insights
Petra and Jacob were introduced to the series in The Enigma
Factor. They carved out a challenging relationship through many of the stories while
battling the evils of the Darknet.
They have many adventures, heartaches, and triumphs in their
careers at the R-Group. Both are brilliant, but their work against the cyber
criminal elements keeps them learning every day. These professionals are ferocious
over-achievers who understand their limits, many times deferring to one another
and their field of expertise. They learned how to “turn off” work and just love
one another.
We wanted to put a spotlight on the family side of their lives.
This story comes from their evolving relationship during the series. Petra and
Jacob with their young son JW have done a mash-up of holiday traditions,
sharing their childhood experiences. They’re consummate competitors, and the
holidays are no exception when it comes to their gifts for one another.
They played a couple when interrogating a woman during assignment
in Tennessee which we wanted to share from The Enigma Stolen. We believe it
foreshadows the family they become and how in tune they are with each other. This
segment demanded we tell the story Hot Chocolate: https://youtu.be/uGoHUgflhms
About the Short Story
Watch the
family dynamics of a young couple as they embrace the yuletide. Petra and Jacob
do a mash up of their cultural heritages during the festivities with their
family.
Petra, raised in Europe, cherishes the older
European traditions of candle lighted trees and real Swiss chocolate, piping
hot with marshmallows and whipped cream.
Jacob, raised in New York City, loves having his
family close and sampling piping hot chocolate. He is particularity fond of
selecting perfect gifts.
John Wolfgang or JW his parents revel in each of
his accomplishments and discoveries as he grows. They find it important to
expose JW to the best of these winter wonderland activities of both worlds.
Watching the delight in JW’s eyes creates great memories for everyone.
A part of their unabashed affection, they strive
to get one another the perfect gift. This adds a layer of their personal
teasing season that starts with the first display of St. Nicholas. Jacob smugly
announces early this year he’s found the perfect gift. As a result, with all
the events and activities, Petra stresses over the selecting the right present
for Jacob.
The clock is ticking to
their gift exchange.
This story is available on Amazon.
The authors look forward to
