Narrative:
I experienced a right engine failure around 14;000 MSL. I was on an IFR flight plan in day VMC. The visibility was unrestricted and the sky was clear. We were at 13;000 MSL and given clearance to climb to FL210. I increased the power to climb and after a few minutes I felt and heard the right engine fail. After verifying that the engine had failed; I feathered and secured it and chose to return to my departure airport. I declared an emergency with approach and advised of my intentions and we returned with a normal descent and landing.
