Killer Payback—A Ventures Nest Thriller: Book One

A young comic book entrepreneur wins a start-up contest to work on her dream venture at an innovative business incubator in the Oregon Alps. But when a homicidal maniac escapes from the state prison mental ward, the teen's sponsored summer gets ambushed by an escaped madman who tries to kill her and the young boy she befriends.

Elfri Fleming travels to public libraries in the Southwest with her ex-cop grandfather to teach kids the power of lucid dreaming. A converted school bus called the Dreamland Express, 59 issues of her Dream Zoo comics, pure talent, and calculated ambition helped the professional dreamer create a mobile enterprise with a loyal following who question why there have been no new comics for way too long.

Why did Elfri stop drawing Dream Zoo and start a new comic book series that she keeps hidden? How in one whirlwind summer did the Texas tomboy adapt to a tourist town with a futuristic boardwalk of trendsetting shops and lakeside intrigue? What made her move into a guarded estate to help a mute boy, and then fight to the death to save him from the killer who abused him eight years before? Killer Payback is the first book in the insanely innovative Ventures Nest thriller series where the payoff of good and evil is outrageous and enriching entertainment!
