But at its heart, this book was really written for the curious: the mystery and thriller lovers fascinated by the human mind, the readers who question how consciousness works, who are drawn to the hidden machinery beneath thought and identity, and who may have already begun second-guessing that voice in their own head.

I’m not sure if a character can ever be truly fictitious. We learn human nature from those around us. Even my fantastical characters bring traits from real life people.

I was talking with my best friend about growing up and how being bullied in middle school is one of those experiences that a lot of people, especially women, seem to carry with them long after it’s over. At some point, I started wondering what happened to my own bully.
So naturally, I did a little social media stalking.
