Hellen Back: the attic

by vicki zell

Jennifer had to go to the attic whenever her mother demands, or else. Jennifer is older now and going off to college, Kale University, escaping the attic and the crazy person who claims to be her mother. What Jennifer will soon discover is, she cannot escape that attic, and her mother, Merilee is not the only monstrous monster. In a facility of five hundred students, an all-girls school, Jennifer finds a friend. Kathy Barns, Kat, to all. Jennifer's world seems to be making sense for the first time, but then Kat up and vanishes and Jennifer finds herself back in the dark, seeking answers, only this time around, it is not the attic she finds herself trapped, it's Kale University, and the monsters there are far more conniving than the monster mom she left behind. Or is all of this just Jennifer's imagination? Is Jennifer the one going insane? Is what is happening to Jennifer real, or a product of her Jennifer's blood-line? Or is it something else, entirely?

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.
