...Wine and music and candles were a way of life, and some of the few luxuries he really allowed himself to enjoy in the midst of his work and personal crusades, or whatever he wanted to call it...  ...My mother used to say, "The universe is right on schedule. Everything happens the way it's supposed to." I've never been much for trying to figure out why bad things happen. I just know they do. So, the job's trying to figure out how to deal with the consequences...  Maybe I got screwed out of living in a time when I could hang out for the afternoon in a cafe someplace wearing a $2,000 wristwatch, planning my next vacation, but the world suddenly got a whole lot different all of a sudden. Maybe it wasn't supposed to...but it did. So now I'm here and things are about to get trickier.
I am an independently wealthy man and I believe that I can make a difference in this world, despite my limitations. I am an idealist, a truth-speaker, a romantic, a man of means and a man of my word.
I knew when I got here that the time had come to walk away from my old life forever. What more could I accomplish by living in the past? I mean, it was time to start a new life. It may not be a glamorous one, but it is a start. As William Arthur Ward once said : The pessimist complains about the wind; the optimist expects it to change; the realist adjusts the sails. If it is meant to be, then it is up to me. [/center] With hope,

Day One: .My name is Anthony Logan — though whoever finds this material will undoubtedly know me better as Tony, Gingerbread, Hot-Wheels or Miracle-Boy. Within my first hour on Celeste Isle, a young woman by the name of Belle was kidnapped from her own kitchen by what I can only describe as some sort of higher power - The locals call him Andras, the ‘Evil’ Spirit of the Isle. Within the next few hours after Andras struck, corruption and cruelty exploded on a scale I never before imagined possible. Something had to be done.
The ‘Good’ Spirit, Celeste began helping us find our missing comrade. Celeste is the good spirit of a young, fair haired girl on a white horse who shepherds all of the new arrivals to a safe place on the Island. Then Belle comes to greet the newcomer and bring them back to the town. With her help, we searched for Belle, but we brought a long lost enemy and more danger out of the woodwork in the process.
With the help of a lot of good people, and Celeste, we uncovered a hidden ‘forbidden’ Isle. Some turned back, but those remaining followed our de facto leader, Abby and braved through the underwater stairway towards Adras’ Forbidden Island.
What comes next is uncertain, but what I do know is that no matter what the dangers, Belle and her work needs to survive, and continue . . . especially when some of the more explosive facts still need to be revealed. Facts concerning Celeste, Andras and the Secrets of the Isle, to name but a few.
Trying to save Belle with out harming the delicate balance of the Isle poses a big risk—not just to the corrupt, but to the innocent as well. Yet the chance that these truths might remain unspoken is an even bigger risk.
People may die, but the truth must live on.
With hope,
Anthony Logan.
