BALCONY ABOVE THE SEA by Tirza Schaefer This time, Tirza Schaefer heads east to a little Bulgarian village at the coast of the Black Sea, not too far from Burgas. Keturah is an author from London who is running away from a life she doesn't want anymore and an ex-boyfriend and his current girlfriend who are stifling her to death. She has plans to stay in an apartment overlooking the Black Sea and simply work on her book. Then she meets Luben, the driver who takes her to the apartment from Burgas airport, and her resolve as to staying away from all men falters. However, you can run from other, but never from yourself. The London situation catches up to her in unexpected ways and Keturah has to take a hard look at herself and determine how she wants her life to look like and whom she wants in it. Luben helps her in this and without noticing at first, points out not only their cultural differences to her, but also differences in their outlook on life. After a beach party, however, Keturah starts to see things more clearly. If only there wasn't this publishing contract that could destroy all she has gained. Over 35,200 words.
