Books

 Following a second suspicious death in her low-income community, Viola Ted's coming-of-age is cut short in her small town, Telega, NY, when she's kidnapped by a serial killer who is searching for a missing book. Navigating lies and physical attacks-without a way out, Viola attempts to play his sinister cat and mouse games to stay alive. When she finds the book, she uncovers a terrible secret involving deceit and a conspiracy that dates back six hundred years. To save herself, Viola may have to destroy her family. But can she?

​

Set in the 90s, Viola Ted has an atmospheric, character-driven style, reminiscent of Twin Peaks but without the supernatural. This story follows a complex, fast-paced, deeply traumatized individual, similar to The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo minus law enforcement.
