    About this ebook

    Lisa Paige is a respected non-fiction writer who envies the accolades bestowed upon her fiction-writing mother, Madge Paige. So much so that, while desperately trying her hand at fiction, Lisa begins to hallucinate, causing fictional characters to come to life and visit her home. Frantically offering her bribes in return for inclusion in her book, they explain her refusal would result in their deletion within the fictional world. As characters compete for billing in Lisa's story, murder, and mayhem reigns. Each are in conflict and equally determined to be forefront in Lisa’s novel. But is there an alternate motive for their brawling? Discover how their skirmishes ultimately affect Lisa’s future and set her on a surprisingly different career path.

    Barbara Studham

    Over a period of twenty years, I have raised four grandchildren with Fetal Alcohol Syndrome. My two memoirs: Two Decades Of Diapers, and, Fetal Alcohol Syndrome: The Teen Years, describe the challenges, hopes, and broken dreams I faced while struggling to maintain our family unit. I decided to share my story in the hope of supporting all individuals with FAS, their caregivers, support workers, and advocates, and to educate the public on Fetal Alcohol Syndrome. Born in Portsmouth, England, I immigrated to Canada in 1974 and currently live in Hamilton, Ontario. I also write fiction, including two series: Under The Shanklin Sky, and, I, Gossip. Writing fiction could not be more different from writing memoir. Memoir can be painful to pen, but writing fiction brings me joy. I hope reading my books will bring you joy too!
