Just released on Amazon.
Danger lurks everywhere in eleven year old Reggie's world-from the bully next door to the unwanted attentions of a creep at school. Raised by her mentally ill mother, Reggie is left to fend for herself in a rough neighborhood. She escapes in daydreams, battling aliens with her alter ego, Tough Girl.
When Reggie's mother disappears, her fantasy life spirals out of control and starts to invade reality. She is hunted by a creature of her own design, and even Tough Girl is not strong enough to stop him.
Will Reggie survive long enough for her mother to return, or will her dream world take over?
This book contains adult language and adult themes.
" This is not a "light read" nor should it be taken as such, but there is great beauty and insight within. "
" Rarely I get caught up in a book that much, but in this case I just couldn't stop reading. "
"A dark story of the depths of the human psyche and the lengths it will go to to try to cope with a harsh existence made all the more interesting (and gut wrenching) because the protagonist is a child. I loved it! "
