| Spirit of the Straightedge :: Over My Dead Body! Books :: Novel by Babs Lakey |
|
Have you ever wanted to get even? Not so much for what has been
done to you, but what happens daily to the innocents? What would you
think of a beautiful young woman who becomes an avenger and begins
her search for Evil--a search that will change her forever? She
learns to use sex to bait her traps. This woman's heart has become
mummified, dulled by torture and disuse. Through twists of fate she
believes herself to be Atrophos Avenger Goddess, the goddess from
the trilogy who cuts the thread of life.
"The Spirit series books contain scenes of graphic sex and violence.
Although I write books of madness, I have higher goals in mind. I
believe in the wonder of diversity, and the building of community.
The characters live, grow, and love together in the real world,
have real problems, and are not perfect. Elsie strives to find
justice--can she do this and still maintain her innocence? If she
survives, her goal will be to help unite her community." Spirit of the Straightedge is the first in a series of psychological thrillers featuring Elsie Sanders, a woman determined to avenge the brutal murder of her best friend. The author weaves a terrifying tale of sex, abuse, and murder. The reader will come to know the perpetrators and the victims. The story is riveting. Readers won't want to stop reading until the final outcome is known. And then, they'll likely want to check all of the locks on their doors and windows . . . An excerpt from a pre-publication version of Spirit of the Straightedge placed fifth (out of 1500 entries) in the prestigious New Century Writer's 3rd Annual Writers Awards 2000 Competition. The author, Babs Lakey, is also publisher of Futures Magazine, a popular bi-monthly publication featuring short fiction. Ms. Lakey recently received a special Derringer award from the Short Mystery Fiction Society for her continuing enthusiastic support of short mystery fiction authors. | |||||||
