ABOUT THE AUTHOR:
It was during third grade, after a teacher encouraged him in his writing and as he read through The Narnia Chronicles by C.S. Lewis, that Travis decided he wanted to be a writer. The dream never left him, and allowed him to fulfill that dream of writing full-time in 2007. Travis Thrasher is the author of numerous works of fiction, including his most personal and perhaps his deepest work, Sky Blue, that was published in summer of 2007. This year he has two novels published, Out of the Devil’s Mouth, and a supernatural thriller, Isolation.
Travis is married to Sharon and they are the proud parents of Kylie, born in November 2006, and Hailey, a Shih-Tzu that looks like an Ewok. They live in suburban Chicago.

ABOUT THE BOOK
For years Dennis Shore has thrilled readers with his spooky bestselling novels. Now a widower, Dennis is finally alone in his house, his daughter attending college out of state. When he's stricken by a paralyzing case of writer's block and a looming deadline, Dennis becomes desperate. Against better judgment, he claims someone else's writing as his own, accepting undeserved accolades for the stolen work. He thinks he's gotten away with it . . . until he's greeted by a young man named Cillian Reed—the true author of the stolen manuscript.What begins as a minor case of harassment quickly spirals out of control. As Cillian's threats escalate, Dennis finds himself on the brink of losing his career, his sanity, and even his life. The horror he's spent years writing about has arrived on his doorstep, and Dennis has nowhere to run.

Margie's comments: On a whim, twenty-five years ago, I decided to read a Stephen King novel, to see what all the hoopla and fascination was with his books and the horror genre. I read the complete book just because I couldn't put it down; it was so well written. But I've never picked up another "horror" novel . . . until now. And I probably wouldn't have read this one, if it weren't for my curiosity—again. The back cover copy promised a different kind of read.
Travis Thrasher is a gifted writer. His characters and the setting come alive for the reader. His descriptions are vivid—maybe not Stephen King vivid, but more than enough for my active imagination. However, Travis's writing has something that Stephen King's do not—hope. And faith that God truly does exist and is in control of all things, even when we think we hold control.
If you like Stephen King, you're going to love Travis Thrasher. The jury is still out on whether I'll read another, though. LOL This is a supernatural thriller of a different kind. And it will make you think as it entertains.
