Hellen Back: The Attic

Jennifer Luck is off to Kale University, an all-girls school for gifted young women. She is finally getting away from her crazy mother and the attic room, where she spent nearly her entire childhood, locked away, frightened of monsters and strange voices. Only now she is about to discover there are far worse things than monsters under beds, inside closets, and attic rooms. She's about to discover that real monsters come in all shapes and sizes. And the most monstrous monsters of all, walk on two legs and look like you and me. Terrifying monsters, like her mother, Merilee, and the Dean of Kale University, Dean Hammer. So, now who will save her from the horrors? Hellen Back? Or is Hellen just another monster she has to beware of? What dark secrets lie in the depths of Kale House? Where do all of the cabinets lead to? Jennifer is about to embark on a long journey into a much darker place than she ever imagined.

About the author

Born to immigrant farmers in the early fifties, Vicki suffered the debilitating diseases of the era with Tuberculosis and Polio. With perseverance and a strong family tie, Vicki made it through the many ups n downs throughout her life, always dabbling in the writings of poems and mysteries far before the internet. It was near impossible to get publishing houses to take notice. The long trips to and from the post office only to receive rejection letters were mounting. Vicki got caught up in life, lost in the fine line of hard work and play. She now puts her stories to the page, self publishing her works. She mainly writes Friction Fiction, mystery suspense novels with twists and turns, keeping her readers alert and on the edge of their seat. She intertwines through her stories a bit of her own knowledge she's picked up throughout her years of traveling, and she incorporates this bit of opinion into her story line.
