The Harsh Reality of Dreams

Many of you know that I'm in the process of writing the first draft of my first novel; The Harsh Reality of Dreams. It took me about three months to come up with the concept for this novel. I started writing in late June of 2008. Due to an untimely move the writing became slowed and I did not have the time that I once had to sit and write. Thankfully the move is over and I am once again sitting in front of my computer punching out words. Currently, I am writing Chapter 4.

The Harsh Reality of Dreams is a dark psychological thriller based in the town of Enton. Secluded, with stunningly beautiful views, Enton provides a perfect place for Owen Fisher and his daughter April to rebuild their lives. A year ago the tragic murder of Stacy, Owen's wife, caused huge emotional trauma to their small family. To rebuild their spirits and help April overcome the loss of her mother, Owen decides to move to the remote mountain town. The friendly citizens welcome them to their new lives.

Life seems almost perfect as they settle in to their new surroundings. However, the town holds dark secrets. The state hospital sitting near the town has an undisclosed past that could take away everything. As townsfolk begin to disappear Owen must uncover the cause before it's too late. The past could destroy everything.
