Wordsmith

‘It would be addictive, enthralling and consuming. Her readers would not be able to put the book down until the final sentence. It would be the next big thing. This, she knew.’

Sophia Drakos is an author - in the sense that she writes books, not that she actually gets published. Having been rejected by publishers too many times to keep count, she finally decides to craft the ultimate novel; the true money-maker. One that would make her name famous in every house and even spawn a blockbuster movie:

Romance.

She already has the perfect protagonist; Ariel Winters, the exotic, curvaceous example of everything Sophia was not. Later, she would decide that was where everything had gone wrong. Ariel was attractive, and certainly addictive. Sophia can’t stop writing, images of Ariel dominating her every thought. Soon, Sophia finds herself trapped in her own, perceptively real, literary otherworld created for Ariel’s romantic escapades with the sexy police officer, Jack.

Initially a dream, Sophia’s reality quickly transforms into a nightmare as she discovers the horrible truth about her efficacy. Ariel knows she is being stalked, Jack is romantically redundant and none of the characters submit to her expectations. Can she stay balanced and in control, or will she succumb to the lure of absolute power as The Author?
