About the Author

As a psychology student at the University of Missouri-Columbia, I've always been interested in how people react. How they think. This story is an experiment in that. I think that my inspiration comes from the Stephen King novel Mr. Mercedes. For me, I try to add enough realism into a story as I can, at least with a character's thought processes, but a touch of the surreal can always keep the reader guessing.
