She needed a pee break and her legs needed stretching. It was also just a lovely spot...A sheep fat candle was drooling drips as the waning Moon relentlessly sank with a bank of stars over the tree line. Steve stood in the second floor lodge room's single dormer window and watched the subtle change in light, unevenly thick greenish glass with bubbles embedded in the glass, a tall narrow view through two columns and three rows of six-inch square panes. The faded wood writing table by the window was bare except for his clothes piled in a lump. The shifting shadows of the candle fluttered in the chilly Fall draft, flowing through unsealed cracks in the window frame...She walked into the office of Rusty Nayol, D.D.S, as the raised letters of the square brass wall plaque indicated: same as the plaque always showed.

Ever wished you could rewrite your life story? Well, careful what you wish for, because Rou Everett just found out she's a character in someone else's book, and let's just say, the plot thickens faster than a chocolate fondue at a romance writers' convention.By day, Rou's a hot-shot magazine editor. By night, she's caught in a literary tornado where reality and fiction hook up faster than protagonists in a steamy novel. Armed with nothing but a red pen and a knack for sarcasm, Rou must navigate a world where words have more power than a triple espresso, and authors are the new rock stars (minus the groupies, thankfully).Enter a mysterious, brooding writer who can alter reality faster than you can say "plot twist," a bartender whose cocktails might just be magical (or at least strong enough to make you think they are), and a team of assassins who take "ghost-writing" way too literally.As Rou and her merry band of misfits race to outsmart, outwrite, and out-caffeinate their enigmatic puppet master, they'll face dangers more terrifying than a blank page, deadlines more deadly than paper cuts, and plot holes big enough to swallow a bestseller list.Will Rou seize control of her own narrative? Will love conquer all, or at least survive the next chapter? And most importantly, will someone please explain why there's always a cat in these stories?Dive into Ouroboros, where the Fourth Wall is more of a suggestion, love is literally in the margins, and the pen is mightier than the sword (but a good lawyer is mightier than both).Warning: May cause spontaneous bouts of meta-cognition, an irresistible urge to argue with fictional characters, and a sudden appreciation for the Oxford comma.
