The tables are turned with a vengeance in this tour de
force sequel to MELT. Now it’s
Dorothy who is fragmented and lost, while Joey keeps the promise he made her to
better himself – even though she’s gone.
Joey tells his story “now ”—nearly a year after the
shocking conclusion of MELT.
Dorothy tells what happened “then”— in the moments and
hours after the Glock dropped.
This time the stakes are even higher, as Joey forces
himself to move forward while Dorothy is frozen in place. But when he learns of
a devastating decision, Joey races to find her before it’s too late. Truth,
consequence, repercussion and modern medicine collide as pieces converge in
this psychological, thrilling story, which begs the question: Can love really
conquer all?
BOOK ONE
Based on true events, MELT is both a chilling tale of abuse, and a timeless romance. MELT will hit you like a punch in the face, and also seep through the cracks in your soul.

BLURB from Goodreads
MELT is a brutal love story set against the metaphorical backdrop of The Wizard of Oz (not a retelling). When sixteen year old Dorothy moves to the small town of Highland Park, she meets, and falls for Joey – a “bad boy” who tells no one about the catastrophic domestic violence he witnesses at home. Can these two lovers survive peer pressure, Joey’s reputation, and his alcoholism?
Told in dual first person, Joey’s words are scattered on the page – reflecting his broken state. Dorothy is the voice of reason – until something so shattering happens that she, too, may lose her grip. Can their love endure, or will it melt away?
