Synopsis:
A normal teenager Dean Knight is not.
With a mental illness that threatens to take over his
sanity; a sister who’s deep in her own problems; and a wasted mother who
couldn’t care less about it all, Dean is left to battle real life on his own.
School, bullies and medications are his realities.
Then there are also the ghosts, the hallucinations and of
course – the monster.
In the middle of it all, when everything seems to lose
purpose, hope comes shining down on Dean’s miserable life. Her name is Ella and
for one reason or another, she actually wants to be close to Dean. With Ella’s
help, the lost teenage boy decides that he could finally win a battle or two –
both in real life and in his writing.
But hope is a tricky thing. And the monster seems to know
that.
When secrets buried down for almost a decade come out in the
open, what do you do?

About the author:
Steve Cross’s first successful writing project was a play
about a werewolf that his eighth grade English class performed. Though the play
was never published, the warm fuzzy feeling from its public performance has
never quite left Cross, who continues to sink his teeth into a variety of
writing projects. His first publication was a haiku, followed by two middle
grade novels published by POD publishers and a young adult novel published by
Buck’s County Publishing.
A fanatical St. Louis Cardinals baseball fan; a lover of all
kinds of YA fiction, as well as the writings of Dean Koontz and Stephen King; a
fan of all kinds of music – from Abba to the Zac Brown band, Cross dreams of
the day he will write a best-selling novel or sell a screenplay for seven
figures, so he can retire and write more best-selling fiction. Until that day, he and his wife Jean,
Missourians born and bred, will continue to toil in the field of education and
live in peace with their two dogs and two cats and wait around until their
daughter Megan and son-in-law Sean give them grandchildren to spoil.
