Hellen Back: The Attic

by vicki zell

Jennifer had to go to the attic whenever Merilee demanded. Jennifer is older now, and going off to college, to Kale University, escaping that attic and the crazy person who claims to be her mother. Jennifer will come to discover that she can never escape the attic. Her mother Merilee is not the only monstrous monster. In a facility of five hundred students, an all-girls school, Jennifer finds befriends Kathy Barns. Jennifer's world seems to be making sense for the first time until Kat vanishes and Jennifer finds herself seeking answers. Only, this time around, it isn't the attic that she finds herself trapped. Kale has monsters more conniving than the monster mom she left behind. Is all that is happening just Jennifer's imagination, or is Jennifer going insane? Is what is happening real or a product of Jennifer's bloodline? 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.
