Produktbeschreibung

When Lawrence Mason's mother dies after a lengthy illness, he is left to guard her legacy and protect her place in the small community that she despised but refused to leave. His debilitating social anxiety disorder and devotion to Mrs. Mason's memory lead him into conflict with the police and neighbours, while his paranoia leads him to interpret even the most innocuous incidents as part of the local strategy to isolate the family from the town.
Psychiatrist Bruce Hutchison is appointed by the court to assess Lawrence, but an unusual relationship between the two ensues, that both confounds and clarifies their own issues. At the same time, Lawrence is led, unwillingly, into a friendship with a much younger local woman, who sees more to this loner than is perceived by the area residents. Lawrence fights through both internal and external conflicts, culminating in a massive fire at the local fibreglass plant, in which he is intimately involved.
"Ashes Of Paranoia" provides an emotionally wrenching look at a middle-aged man wrestling with his distorted view of life, and how the community that he distrusts rallies to embrace him, warts and all.
This book's characters have none of the romantic appeal of a Harlequin romance cast, nor any of the dashing flair of a detective mystery's collage of players, yet each draws you hypnotically into his and her respective perception of the world around him.

Autorenporträt

Bob sold his first short stories to Young Ambassador and Omni magazines when he was twelve. For nearly forty years, he only wrote fiction works and poetry for friends, until he was convinced by them that his writing was very compelling.
Bob Lee's career kept him focused on business communications for much of that period. He wrote and produced a series of training videos for Loss Prevention Group Inc, wrote hundreds of business plans, feasibility studies and market analyses, along with scores of training manuals, handbooks and guides for his clients.
He is the author of more than two hundred and fifty blog posts, white papers and articles for national and international clients. His own blogs have a viewership exceeding 353,000.

His career in business support services and as a private investigator have provided him with a rich source of material from which to draw inspiration. Many of the people who he encountered were so noteworthy as to be featured in his non-fiction works such as Wild People I Have Known and What We Have Lost.

Few writers can match the engaging writing style of Robert Lee. His minimalist method of enticing mental images from a single phrase, or urging complex emotion from a few sentences drives action throughout his works. Yet, Robert can draw us meticulously and inexorably through the most detailed or complex scenarios, while captivating us with each word.
Whether you are absorbed in the convoluted mental struggles of Lawrence Mason (Inferno Inside), the unworldly twists and turns of the Sentinels (Council of the Pure),the ethereal adventures of the nymphs and sprites (Gypsy Lee's Fairy Tales, Fables & Yarns), or the heart and tragedy of true life anecdotes about murders and rapists(Wild Animals People I Have Known), you will bond intimately with each of Lee's characters.
Fiction or non-fiction, Robert Lee brings you immense and unique reading experiences that will compel you to call for more of his works.
