Never Ignore Monica

As serious, even fatal, accidents befall those who ridicule him, introvert Simon Steed realizes his retributive thoughts may have provoked the unexpected events. However, when he meets Monica Storm in college, he seems to have found his soulmate. But her sudden disappearance and reported suicide makes no sense, especially as the media photograph is of her roommate. Where is Monica and what did Simon do wrong? Spanning over twenty years, NEVER IGNORE MONICA is a quietly unnerving and unpredictable novel that plays intriguingly with reader expectations through Simon. Is he experiencing psychosis or does he have an extraordinary paranormal gift? Author Jim Lively twists and shifts the narrative in unexpected, puzzling directions that continue to mystify long after the final page.
