| Karelia Stetz-Waters with her book Dysphoria. |
The book, titled Dysphoria and set in a small New England town, tells the story of Helen Ivers, a young woman who is running from a horrific, tragic past to what she hopes will be the safety of a small town. Soon after her arrival, yet another tragedy explodes into her life.
Besieged by memories of her mentally ill sister, which refuse to let her rest, Helen must face an abomination even as her mind begins to unravel. Murder, deception and intrigue play out as Helen must not only learn the truth but fight to stay alive.
The 300-page book, published by Artema Press, was a lifetime goal for Karelia.
“It took about two-and-a-half years to write, but one year was researching the genre,” said Karelia. “I never read thrillers until I decided to write this one, so I had a lot of catching up to do.”
A book signing and sale will be held Thursday, Feb. 28 from 1:30 to 3 p.m. in the North Santiam Hall atrium, second floor. Books are $12, cash or check. All proceeds benefit the English Endowment Fund.
Dysphoria is also available at Grassroots Books in Corvallis and online through Amazon. Read more at: http://kareliastetzwaters.weebly.com/
