"...a masterfully crafted mystery that will keep you on your toes and guessing..." —Lily Bloom Books

When high-school football star Daniel Byers begins to have visions relating to the suspicious death of a schoolmate, he and his friends question whether he is mentally ill or gifted with a psychic ability that could lead them to solve the mystery.

THE INSIDE SCOOP

Years ago, I had the idea of writing a YA thriller about a teenage guy who was losing touch with reality and had to overcome that to solve a crime. After years of letting the idea percolate, I finally began to explore where this premise might lead.

Blur is a perfect read for teens. Even though it’s suspenseful and intense, it’s not as graphic as the Patrick Bowers novels.

I think a lot of YA novels feature main characters that aren’t the best examples for teens. I wanted to write a story about a guy who was someone we could look up to, but was also deeply flawed and struggling, and in that search I found Daniel Byers.

This is book 1 in the Blur trilogy, and I returned to my old stomping grounds in Wisconsin to tell this story.
