New Book! Schasm - Young Adult/Fiction

 A psychological condition has captured the body, mind, and soul of Chloe, and thrust her into the hands of probing doctors and the continued mercy of her tyrannical mother. Since the age of seven, when she was caught nursing the fantasy of an imaginary friend, Chloe’s life has been relegated to constant scrutiny and imprisonment of her own bedroom. As she struggles to break free of the grim life into which she was born, she continues to suffer the daily assaults from her mother and the dispiriting weakness of her dejected father.

When Chloe one day drifts into a dreamlike alternate reality, she unexpectedly finds herself rescued from near drowning by an attractive and kind man by the name of Alex. Through him, she is drawn in to a new, warm life abundant in love and romance, and she experiences a new happiness that she's never been allowed to feel. However, when hidden truths reveal a life that she cannot remember, Chloe finds herself lost between what is real and what isn't. Can she remain in a lush new landscape that may just be a realm of her own invention, or is she doomed to return to the chilling reality she once knew?

Blending extreme daydreaming, alternating realities, and multiple personalities, Schasm is a gripping tale that treads the thin line between a harrowing reality and the captivating terrain of an imagined world. As Chloe plays too close to the edge of insanity, her multiple realities clash, leaving her to question everything— including her own existence. Anyone who relishes a flight of fancy with richly drawn characters and surprising twists of plot will be immersed in the strange new world of Schasm, where nothing is at it seems.
