Stage One: Fresh

Not quite thriller, not quite trashy romance, a sprinkle of satire, and a hint of allegory, STAGE ONE: FRESH is the story of a disturbed young woman on a desperate search to find happiness in life. Running from the ghosts of her damaging past, on a mission to make her happy ending come true, she finds herself in the barren Arizona desert. With a twist of fate, life takes yet another dysfunctional turn. Written in kaleidoscoping, unapologetic prose, STAGE ONE: FRESH touches on themes of ethical dilemma, morality, and death, inflicting readers with simultaneous feelings of socially-constructed discomfort and a compelling urge to read on. This book is intended for mature audiences due to sexual and violent content. Please direct any fan praise, death threats, contract proposals, etc. to nealen.colshmidt@gmail.com
