That's all folks! I'm only posting the first of the three acts of Richard's story.  Why? Cause publishing shenanigans. If you want more like this, I have a few works based around the similar idea that child abuse is wrong. They are...

By My Side: Leo struggles to maintain his composure as his emotionally abusive parents grow worse and worse. With only his closest friends, his sisters, he will be forced to endure as his internal identity crisis manifests itself as beings of his creation from his works appear to him. There is a point where reality ends and fiction begins... but by the end will Leo even care which side of that line he's on? Read and find out!

The Account: After the events of By My Side, Leo is trapped within his fiction as his mental illness and situation grow worse. It falls to a manifestation of unknown people from his life named Fando to free him. However, Fando is unaware as the real world and Leo's escapist fantasy both face a threat repressed by Leo. A threat that just may be the end of Leo and all he's created. Can Fando save Leo and learn the truth of her past? Will the mysterious masked writer K return to their true self or be consumed by the beings Leo seeks to stop? Will all this finally break Leo? Read and find out!

Wonderland: The last of this arc of my series, Leo finds himself in Wonderland, a world of his dreams created by his enemy. He has nightmares of reality, and begins to seek the truth. Could the lie be better? Is there any hope after what happened to K in The Account? What's the point of winning when you've lost everything you fought for? Read and find out! (This one's not done.)

About this book. Richard is a stand in for abused children pushed to far. He represents those who have been broken. His violent actions are to be viewed at extremist, but debatable in terms of morality. This is a story against both child abuse of all forms and against becoming what you fight. Well, I hope you liked act one. I'll have this on store shelves someday so, until then reader!
