A troubled teen, a survivor of sexual abuse, introduces her English teacher, Darin Hartley, to the nightmarish town of Elixir when she asks him to read the first chapter of a novel she’s writing about her past. When the teen vanishes from school, without warning, and the FBI comes looking for her manuscript, Darin knows he’s dealing with a lot more than a student’s allegorical take on her demons.

Biography
I graduated with a master’s degree in English and Critical Theory from Pepperdine University, Malibu, where I also worked for several years as a Humanities Discussion Leader and a Writing Center Tutor. Then, while pursuing my writing, I worked at a video store that specialized in out-of-print, hard-to-find, art house, and adult films. I’ve even worked for the Catholic church, but that’s another novel.
I like genre fiction, but even here I tend to interject social commentary and critique. I once quipped to a friend that the best novel for me would be a series of Platonic dialogs (relating to contemporary social issues), liberally interspersed with subversive pornography. Without loss of character and story. I’m still fumbling my way toward this literary ideal.
