Raising teenagers is hard: a constant tug-of-war between respecting boundaries and encouraging independence. But what happens when your teenager doesn’t come home?
It was Newton Coleman’s last school dance before graduation, a chance to relax and celebrate. But when the Coleman household receives a late-night call from the hospital with news that Newton has overdosed, the tug-of-war becomes a fight for life and a parent’s worst nightmare.
Who is our son? Do we know him at all? Questions, doubt, and guilt threaten to erode the family further. Teigan Coleman, frustrated by the slow and inconclusive police investigation into her son’s overdose, launches her own dangerous search for truth and justice.
Aided by her own powerful secret, Teigan peels back the shadows of teenage life in Cherry Mills to expose the unimaginable horror lying underneath their quiet suburb. But what if the truth can’t save her son in time?
Hi! I’m Lee. I read practically any genre. Plus, I’m a movie junkie. For a writer, that’s a dangerous combination.
My mission is to keep you up late, one page at a time. Because even if you lose some sleep, there’s not many things better than finishing a good book.
Traditionally trained as a screenwriter, I moved to writing multi-genre books in 2016 and have written 12 novels: Tied: A Street Gang Novel, David’s Summer, Snipped: A Cutting Comedy, The Detest-A-Pest series (Vermin 2.0, Arachnid 2.0, Molerat 2.0, Tentacle 2.0), The Dreamwaker Saga (Lucid Bodies, Lucid Revenge, Lucid Fate), Every Move They Make (Cherry Mills Mysteries #1), and So Far So Close (standalone). I’m currently working on my 13th book, a domestic thriller mystery.
I once walked 63.5 kilometers in thirteen hours. Why? Ask me. I love to hear from readers. My “past lives” include working within the visual and dramatic arts landscape as a graphic designer, illustrator, visual effects artist, animator, and screenwriter. In 2005 I contributed to an Emmy award (LOST; “Pilot; Part 1 and Part 2”) for Outstanding Special Visual Effects for a Series.
In reality, I live on an island in the Pacific Northwest with my wife and son. In my head, I live wherever my characters are.
