Max is your typical 16-year-old trying to navigate his way through yet another high school, in 1962. Unable to avoid the bullies that love to torment everyone in their sight, Max plays along. But when they demand he go into the abandoned Starke house at midnight, on the anniversary of the serial killer’s execution, Max is not overly anxious to comply. For it is said Starke reappears at the scene of the crime, back to where he buried all those boys in his basement. Given the task of returning with a chip of blood from the basement door, Max heads into the house, determined to make fools out of every one of them. For only a fool would believe in such nonsense…right?

WARNING:  According to Breaking TWIG’s Kindle readers, you may not be able to put this book down!

Set in rural Georgia in the 1960s, BREAKING TWIG is a coming-of-age novel about Becky (Twig) Cooper, a young woman trying to survive the physical and emotional abuse of her mother, Helen, a beautiful, calculating woman who can, with a mere look, send the meanest cur in Sugardale, Georgia running for its life.

Not even Twig’s vivid imagination, keen wit, and dark sense of humor is enough to help her survive the escalating assaults of Helen and a new stepbrother, but help comes from an unexpected source–Frank, her stepfather. Sometimes, having one person who loves and believes in you is all a girl needs to keep hope alive.

Often raw and irreverent and sprinkled with all the Southern flavoring found in a good bowl of chicken and dumplings, BREAKING TWIG, is about finding love where we least expect it, destroying lives with easy lies, and realizing each of us determine our own truth.

:: Recent RAVE Reviews for Breaking TWIG ::

If you are looking for a book that takes a chance, tips the scale and

teeters on the edge of “How in the hell did she write this?!?” Then

Deborah Epperson is your girl and Breaking Twig is your story.”  Melissa

E. Perea, Five-Star Reader Review

“With a voice as rich as sorghum molasses, Epperson seductively draws the

reader into the rural south of the 60s and 70s. In the southern

tradition of Tennessee Williams and William Faulkner, the author

explores the depths of the human heart and spirit, with wisdom, humor,

and unflinching truthfulness.”  D. Burke, Five-star Reader Review

Fiction: – (Earth, 2354) Apophis almost pushed humanity to the same dead end as the dinosaurs eons earlier. Although our past contained much good, many felt that our history also contained a lot that was shameful, and that perhaps we deserved extinction. Our culture created wonderful art and science, but also glorified mass murderers such as Caesar and Napoleon. Instead, this asteroid unexpectedly led the way to the unification of our entire planet almost overnight! It quickly dragged our divided race into the future. A few centuries later we blossomed into a unified space faring civilization on the verge of attaining inter-stellar capability. Then came a voice from the Jupiter system, relayed by a probe deep in the sea of Europa; an ice covered moon that orbits the distant gas giant. Doctor Illana Petrovsk, young scientist and seasoned explorer, a member of Earth’s “Directorate” heard its call…and everyone quickly discovered that the unexpected wasn’t that far away after all.
