What is Mists

The Mists of Stone Lake was written mostly to help me get over the loss of my daughter. It's been two years since five people decided she should no longer breathe. I'm still waiting for the trials to take place. The shooter took a plea. If he does ever see freedom, I'll be dust in the ground. Because of this, I can't go into any detail about the case. But that doesn't prevent me from making up a story about a young woman who is brutally murdered by five people. Outside of the number of people, and a few minor details, nothing of this book resembles what actually happened.
I never expected this book to sell like it has. I'm still not sure how I feel about it. A large part of me wants to rip it from the world, hiding it away so none will see the ache inside me. Originally the story was supposed to go much differently. The characters got into my head and led me in another direction. Giving each person a back story was what helped me to see that everybody has their own demons to contend with.
If you read the note from the author, you can learn a bit of the truth, at least the truth as I see it. Five people took part in killing my daughter. Five people took part in killing Lauren. Can anybody guess who represents who in the book? Any who can guess it right, their names will be thrown into a hat. The winner will receive a signed copy of the book, along with a 16 oz. mug with a picture of the cover on it. Just message me with your guesses. I'll have a drawing...hummm...on my birthday!
