Ned Wells is a bit of a conspiracy nut, if truth be told. A bit of a reactionary. Wears a tinfoil hat. Hangs around with rejects. Is convinced that colonies of aliens are living in Roswell and Hitler is currently living in Antarctica, having escaped at the end of WWII in a submarine. That the government has a listening post in his backyard. He was weird enough to begin with, and then his father died, and then.... Someone started stalking him. Everyone wants to tell Ned what's wrong. Which means they're not listening when he tells them that this time, this time, someone really is out to get him. That this time it isn't in his imagination. That this time, the Boy Who Cried Wolf has a wolf in his bed.
P.J. Fox published her first story when she was ten. Between then and the present moment, she detoured to, in no particular order, earn several degrees (including a law degree), bore everyone she knew with lectures about medieval history, get married, and start a family. She realized, ultimately, that she had to make a go of this writing thing because nothing else would ever make her happy.
