More About Dream Weaver........

Elizabeth Love is a wife and mother who loves her daughters dearly but has been trapped in a sexually and physically abusive marriage to her husband, Scott Travers, for the last two decades. Lizzie turns to writing stories for her favorite TV show Galaxy Gateway to escape the trials of her life; her husband, his friend Randy "The Adonis", the crazy clients in the law firm where she works, the bickering amongst her girls and the ever-increasing stack of bills which she lives under.

Michael Garrett a/k/a Dennis Johnson of Galaxy Gateway fame has just lost his job. The show has been canceled after 10 years on the air and he is now faced with the unenviable task of looking for work as he tries to break out of the genre of science fiction and being type cast as the 'nerdy geeky doctor'. Married to the diva Gabriella Phideaux for the last four years, they have two children whom Michael adores but Gabby could do without.

With the her favorite show going off the air, Lizzie writes an original novel "The Shaw Street Strangler" which is quite out of character for her and the darkly erotic material she's come to write about Dennis over the years. Breaking out of the mold the book is a smash but not everyone is happy when Lizzie is forced to stop writing her Galaxy Gateway stories and soon the threats pour in to the offices of Pauline Depoix, a high-powered literary agent who's taken Lizzie on as a client. When the novel hits, Michael sees his way out of second-rate roles on second-rate television shows. He jumps off the page and into Lizzie's life as he helps her write the movie script. Much against the warnings of her husband, Scott, and Lizzie's better judgment, romance blossoms under the hot California sun.

All is not well as the Masked Panty Raider, a huge fan of Lizzie's Galaxy Gateway stories for the past several years, sets out to get her back. Adopting the persona of Eddie from Elizabeth's novel he stalks her over the Internet and into the Real World, following her from her home in Connecticut to British Columbia and a cozy cabin where Michael and Lizzie are snowed in alone together for three days. Finally The Masked Panty Raider follows her to Hollywood and the set of "The Shaw Street Strangler".

But who is the Masked Panty Raider? Just some whack-job from the Internet? Someone from Lizzie's past? Scott? Randy "The Adonis"? Or is it....perhaps....Michael?

Sweeping romance combined with drama and suspense will keep you turning pages until you find out Whodunit.

If you are looking for a book that will keep you guessing and full of beautiful detail, you will love Dream Weaver! Lisa Beth Darling paints amazingly detailed pictures with this well crafted thriller. The interactions between the characters, and all of the raw emotion in this book make it very hard to put down. I was totally wrong about who dunnit until the it was disturbingly, and horrifically revealed. A well written horror mystery is to put it lightly. You can FEEL the pain and heartache of these characters as their lives change and re-change before your eyes. I highly recommend this novel.
