OVER THE EDGE Suspenseful Novel is Released

When Julian Thomas arrived home that night, his wife Chris was depressed and in a drunken fog. To avoid her rage and rejection, he stayed away, reclining on the couch watching the Johnny Carson Show. He was contemplating the life between him and his wife. He has to do something to save their marriage. Minutes later, however, he heard her say something from the bedroom. Then came the sound of a single gunshot, it broke the silence like a clap of thunder.

"OVER THE EDGE" is the suspenseful account of a struggling woman living during the tumult of California in the 1960s-1970s. This book unravels a beautiful, intelligent, but troubled woman and how her decision changed her husband's life forever.

Chris is a beautiful, smart and ambitious woman but deep inside her is a greatly perturbed individual full of insecurities. All her life, she has been battling her own demons and at the same time, still tries her best to be a normal productive woman. These struggles made Chris indifferent and made her opt to love animals than to show affection to people.

"OVER THE EDGE" will help people learn how to spot a person who is in trouble and who may be on the verge of committing suicide. This book will also provide a mirror by which they can see their own life and why, from time to time, they may have the thought of ending it all in one final act.
