"Short Story Press Presents Busy Woman Simplified by Short Story Press with Lindsey Krebs
What happens when you are close to reaching your dreams and being successful only to find everything falling down around you instead? Meredith is a mother and wife and dearly loves her family. She also runs her own business, Willow Tree Ranch. She finds that as she tries too hard, things begin to unravel and fall apart.
• Meredith is the mom of a seven year old girl, Abigail.
• She wants her daughter to have everything that she did not have as a child.
• Michael, her husband, is struggling with how Meredith has changed and finds himself avoiding her.
• Everyone is stressed out and the busy schedule is taking a toll.
• Abigail, Meredith's daughter, has an abundance of activities that doesn't allow her to just be a little girl.
• Meredith opens the business of her dreams and finds herself struggling, with hardly a moment to herself.
• What should be a happy and good part of their life is a struggle instead.
Success can be more than looking a certain way, or paying for, or having certain things. Sometimes people forget what really matters and it takes almost losing it all to remember what is important. Being happy is an important part of life.

"They were princesses that were never supposed to inherit the throne, but to live happily ever after with their princes.
Everything changed when a mass slaughter took the lives of the generation before, leaving an elderly king with no heirs, save them.
Felicia rules the kingdom with a heavy heart, separated from her long term love to love a man who makes her choose; love or the throne.
Eva, the sickly but strong-hearted princess, and James, the navy commodore and trusted advisor of Felecia, no longer have to hide their long term love affair.
Eva and James think they finally have peace after being separated for 15 years by Eva's arranged marriage: an alliance once made to help fortify the country.
Now, Felicia must choose her own love and happiness or the throne.
Will she disrupt the finally peaceful and relaxing lives of Eva and James to have them take the throne?
Or will she choose to live in misery without the man she loves; a man she cannot marry?
“The Uncertain Throne” makes us realize what we must do in the most desperate of times and realize our true self.
Not all of us would respond the same way; not all of us would become the same person or make the same choices we think we would make.
