Overview
NATIONAL INDIE EXCELLENCE AWARDS, WINNER ERIC HOFFER BOOK AWARD, GRAND PRIZE SHORTLIST NEXT GENERATION INDIE BOOK AWARDS, NONFICTION FINALIST KINDLE BOOK AWARDS, NONFICTION FINALIST Lynn was the happy-go-lucky daughter of a Miami undercover narcotics agent-until her dad snuck out of their house in the dark of night without so much as a glance back. She never understood what happened to him until she was in high school, and he was in prison for drug smuggling. By then, Lynn was filling the emptiness he'd left in her life with a massive drug and alcohol habit of her own. It was the perfect setup for her to latch onto the only connection to her dad that remained once he was paroled from prison-cocaine. After a few years of abusing coke together, Lynn lost everything and everyone she ever cared about and was forced to choose between her father and her life. Midnight Calling: A Memoir of a Drug Smuggler's Daughter is a true story about family bonds, addiction and the price of holding on when it's time to let go. A Perfectly Good Fantasy: A Memoir is the darkly funny sequel to Midnight Calling.

Reviews
This is quite an intense journey ... and is exceptionally well-written. The book feels so close to the dangerous edge of what is and was real danger. -Judge, 30th Annual Writer's Digest Self-Published Book Awards Raw, real, and so wonderfully written. -Judge, The 2023 Eric Hoffer Book Award, Grand Prize Shortlist Rarely have I read a more honest, brave, and ultimately uplifting story that keeps you on the edge of your seat praying Lynn can break free. Many times along the way, you think it will be impossible. I rooted for Lynn the entire way, cried when she couldn't break free, and cheered her successes. Her honesty, courage, and drive to become a better person is simply extraordinary. Lynn broke away from forces that destroy people and leave no survivors. This is a must read for anyone who has struggled in life. A heart-wrenching story of sheer persistence and a drive to be free. This story is one for the ages. -David Crow, author of The Pale-Faced Lie
