The stories are well written, pulling the reader deep into situations filled with tension, drama, and lives tossed into a maelstrom of the bizarre. At times fantastic and horrific they squeeze the reader in a slow vice of emotion and fear. They retain a sense of awesome reality and contain characters who could be people who living down the street.
An author not to be missed this summer, winter, or anytime! The story collections are small and compact enough to fit into a backpack or be crammed in that vacation suitcase. Older elementary to adult will find them equally gripping and addictive. The novels (FreeK Camp, FreeK Show) are thrill rides! The story of strangers who discover they share some out the ordinary talents and strengths when faced with a life and death situation sets the stage for some great storytelling. Add to this developing and unique characters, situations, surprising emotional depth and it makes the reader eager to discover what happens to them next.
