Imaginary Foe |
Shannon Leahy |
It’s 1988. When Rhonda Parker comes to town, fifteen-year-old Stan is woefully smitten and ordinary Middleton is transformed into a lustful wonderland.
But there’s more going on inside Stan’s head than anyone knows.
Everything’s changing and the secrets are multiplying.
As Stan’s utopia falls apart, the voice in his head grows darker. Fed up with the holier-than-thou townsfolk, it impels Stan to rise up against the hypocrisy.
On a prodigious stormy night, Stan is forced to make a choice that will change his life forever.
Shannon grew up in Waroona, Western Australia, a small town nestled against the Darling Scarp. Her debut novel, ‘Imaginary Foe’, was inspired by the town’s landscapes and remoteness.
Although gainfully employed, Shannon’s passion lies in writing fiction and making music. She has played in several bands, including The Spinsters, The Dead Trees and her latest venture, Soon (https://soonband.bandcamp.com/album/always-againu).
Shannon lives in Mount Lawley with her partner, Scott, and their two cats Milly and Juju.
