I just wanted to say here what an incredible thing your 'Workshop Workbook' is. Look at all the writers Wolf-Pirate has helped already! It's been exciting to be part of this process. You've shown me how to find the depths of a character and in the story itself. Basically, you've taught me how to write. I'll never forget that. . . .

We are pleased to announce that Dianne's book, Alex, has captured the attention of a publisher. We'll keep this interest posted as it progresses toward publication.
Good luck, Dianne!

When dreams become reality, what of nightmares?

Alex hovers on the edge of the bridge as images of tortureand death crash into his mind. He walks a tightrope, neversure which side of sanity he’ll fall. He doesn’t know why the murder victims are revealed to him, though he guesses it’s because he’s escaped the killer once himself. He hears their cries for help, but even with the aid of Oakton’s police chief, he’s always one step behind the killer. He grows desperate as the lives of those closest to him are threatened. When his visions lead him to separate crime scenes, Alex becomes the prime suspect in the gruesome murders. To clear himself, he must find the killer. He has to stop him before he strikes again, perhaps in Alex’s own home. At the risk of losing everything, he must take the final, terrifying step into the killer’s mind.
