Tess Edwards is an angry young woman. She is angry about her parents splitting up. Against her best friend Sammy Taylor’s advice, she attends a party with a group of teenagers with questionable character. At the party, drugs and alcohol flow freely. She meets Cheri Parkins and her gang. Cheri is a girl with no morals, is sexually uninhibited and has no scruples.

After someone slips some sort of drug into Tess’s drink, she experiences terrifying hallucinations that are so real that she could swear that she was in the pit of hell. In one of the hallucinations, she is attacked by some sort of wolf. But after she leaves the party and sleeps off the drugs and alcohol, she continues to have dreams and visions. Before long, she can no longer distinguish between fantasy and reality.

With her life falling apart before her eyes, she reaches out to Doctor Herman Nelson, a professor at a local college who specializes in the paranormal, especially lycanthropy. He gets her involved in his support group. This group consists of others with the same problem as hers.

After attending her first meeting of the support group, she finds that her life cascades from bad to worse in a very short time. There is something about the support group that she just doesn’t trust. When she turns to her father for answers, she enters into another world, a world of terror that she may never be able to escape from.

Have you written any other books that we should read next?
Yes. I have written twenty books.

Twenty?!
I have written a series of six books that I’m very proud of. They are called the Shadows in the Night Series. The books are about a girl, Christine Templan, who’s mother gets involved in the occult. Christine is moved to a group home where others have gone through the same thing as her. Throughout the series, Christine battles the demon that has destroyed her family. The titles of the books are: The Devil’s Gypsies, The Ghostly Shadows of Mayfield Lane, The Secret of the Beast, The Child of the Devil’s Gypsies, The Story of Eva Templan: Terror by Night and Adam: The Voice of Doom.

Does all that writing leave you any time for a life? Tell us about yourself.
I have studied the subject of the supernatural for most of my life. When I was younger, I stayed up late watching classic werewolf and vampire movies. After my teen years, I submerged myself in research on the subject. I attended my local college where I studied writing and literature. I also took several writing classes online. I have published over two hundred articles, twenty books and some poetry. I decided to write mostly supernatural thrillers, since I grew up reading them and watching movies about them.

Do you have a website where we can keep up with your work?
My website is charbooks.webs.com. However, I prefer to post my work on pinterest under Books by Charlene Iverson.

What’s next?
I am currently working on my twenty first book. It is a story about a young girl who follows an online game. It is a game that was created by Satan himself.
