Drowning
Dean knows being different isn’t always a good thing.
Trapped by the voices and visits from the dead, Dean is drowning. His father, allegedly drowned, and the friend who took his own life taunt like the school bullies he can’t seem to get away from.
A sliver of hope breaks through when his mother announces they are moving. A chance for a fresh start for all of them. So why does she move them to the cottage near the river his father drowned in?
The water begins to envelop him, threatening to pull him under, when Dean discovers nothing changes and the bullies find not only him, but his twin sister, Dee, as favorite targets. Dean’s personal struggles worsen as his tentative grasp on reality weakens.
An unexpected hand plunges through the water toward him, bringing with it questions and a family secret that haunts them all.

About the author
Steven Cross
31 books126 followersI'm not quite sure how old I am in dirt years, but it's up there anyway. I am an educator and freelance writer who has been married more years than I was single. I love reading YA fiction because it doesn't get stale. YA authors are not afraid to experiment. I love that. I dabble in screenwriting and playwriting and would love to sell a screenplay or option one of my books for a screenplay and then write the script. I have published some plays, but I don't write many of them anymore. My first love is YA fiction, though I read everything from the classics to King to Koontz. I am a diehard St. Louis Cardinal baseball fan. Currently, my wife and I reside in Poplar Bluff, MO. Our daughter and son-in-law also live in Poplar Bluff, MO. Both of them are also in education. Jean and I do the best we can to spoil our two grandkids.
