Synopsis: Reading Between the Lines
Jaspen Stewart is a young, semi-starving writer living in a studio apartment in New York city and hoping for his big break into the publishing world. When he meets with his agent, he is told that his book is effectively crap and that it would never sell. Discouraged, he turns his back on writing for a while, and lets his story sit untouched on the hard drive of his computer…until one day while perusing the bookstore for inspiration, he finds a book all about an aspiring author named none other than Jaspen Stewart. Weirded out by this, yet intrigued, he buys the book and takes it home. As he reads, he soon discovers that this character is a LOT like him, and things get weirder and weirder as he learns that the character in the book is working on a story VERY similar to the one he had tried to get published. Jaspen begins to suspect that the agent stole his idea and is blatantly rubbing it in his face. While trying to decide what sort of action to take against the agent, he meets a rather interesting group of people who decide to help him find some answers. The only problem is...he may not like the truth that ultimately awaits him.
Excerpt: Reading Between the Lines
Jaspen groaned as he was pulled kicking and screaming—quite literally—away from his mind’s inner workings and back to reality. He cursed aloud as he reached for his cell phone and punched the button to silence the alarm. He had been on a roll. It had been one of those rare and cherished times when he had been completely captured by the moment. He had been in the zone. And now, just as quickly as everything in his imagination had fallen into place, that world and the people in it had dissolved into nothing. How frustrating it was when that happened. Oh well…he supposed it was just like any other time he had managed to slip into “writing mode”; something always interrupted. This time, it was his job that had sounded the call.
