About the author
M.W. Brown
37 books124 followersFollow M W Brown down the skeleton-strewn path. The international bestselling author longs to lure you into her dark, twisted imagination, lock the door and wait for you to scream.
Her love of all things supernatural and terrifying started at an early age. That love exploded when she discovered Steven King, Clive Barker, and Shirley Jackson. She devoured ghost stories, horror films, and dabbled in writing her own. Brown studied mathematics and psychology at university because there wasn't a course in horror and found numbers and people can be just as terrifying. But it took her decades in finance to follow her true passion and realize her macabre imagination needed an outlet.
Brown has penned Portraits in Flesh, The Lingering Taste of Salted Chocolate, and co-written The Broken Mirror Series, as well as over a dozen short stories.

I could not wait to get my hands on this book. Reality takes you on a crazy ride of real life scenarios. The what ifs, and situations that we often face every day and never think twice about really adds to the intensity of this book. Brown immediately starts things off strong and edgy. I love when an author can grab my attention immediately! It's even better when they can hold it throughout the whole book. No slow points here!
Brown always has a way with words and once again she had me flying through this book. She will have you thinking you know how all of this is going to play out and then BOOM here come the twists. The ending was a definite shocker!
If you have not had the pleasure of reading Brown's work, you really should! She is fantastic at creating chilling and twisty books and has quickly become one of my favorites in the indie horror community.

Reality is a horror, mystery and psychological thriller. I highly recommend it. This author has a natural-born talent of being able to string words together; sentences leap off the pages, allowing the reader to feel, see and hear, everything in the story. I am a huge fan of Author MW Brown; looking forward to all future books.

After a series of rejections, Clara is determined to tear her story apart and fix it the best she can. Problem is, she doesn’t know how to describe some scenes in depth. What does it feel like to be chased through the woods? How would you feel if your pet was murdered? She has no idea, and so she turns to the internet to find out. She creates an anonymous group for writers to ask their questions. Problem is, someone has taken it upon themselves to provide the answers.
My first thought after reading this? My mind is blown!
As a writer myself, it can be difficult to put yourself in some of the situations your characters are in so I understand completely the emotions of Clara and all the other writers in the Reality group. It would be cool to have such information at the tips of your fingers.
How quickly things went downhill was so tastefully done. The switching chapters of calm conversation mixed with the story of things unraveling made it easy to get hooked into the story. And the characters were odd and loveable. Except Clara lol. I’m not entirely sure how I feel about her yet, but her character development was absolutely amazing.
This is a book that I think writers (and non-writers alike) will love.
It’ll make you think twice about what you post on social media because the truth is, you never know who will read it!

Wow, great book!
This is the first book I read of hers and it won't be the last. Great book, the characters feel real. I like that it's not predictable, and has a crazy surprise ending.

This book was amazing! It was everything my reader heart craves.
To describe the experience (this book is an experience)while reading this book would be compared to a board game . The characters of this book all make this story the fantastic one that it is. With each new character comes a new twist and another turn. I can't say enough great things about this story, so click it and see for yourself.
