When a somewhat-famous actress is being stalked in Los Angeles, she
moves with her autistic daughter to Atlanta in With My Little Eye by
Georgia author Joshilyn Jackson due out in April.
The stalking began with letters created
with scented markers to Meribel Mills followed by an invasion of her home.
Dubbed Marker Man by Meribel, he continues the letters that start taking on postmarks
from cities other than LA as he makes his way across country to find her. The
letters have become more frightening over time with drawings of an unclothed Meribel
tied up or cut into pieces.
What to do when the
police insist that stalkers rarely become violent? Because of years in front of
a camera, Meribel is convinced she has a superpower that allows her to know
when someone is looking at her. She gets the feeling of bees inside of her skin
that alerts her to the watcher.
Could it be her ex-husband
James who is doing the stalking, or Cam, a lover she broke up with when she and
Honor moved to Atlanta? Even her new neighbor Cooper gives her cause to wonder.
When she least expects it, Meribel comes face to face with Marker Man, and the
choices she makes next could cost her life and leave Honor an orphan.
This is the twelfth
novel for Joshilyn Jackson, a former actress. Reader of the audiobooks of her
work, she has been nominated for awards in this medium’s categories. Her novels have also attained accolades including
the Southern Independent Booksellers Alliance’s 2005 Novel of the Year Award for
her debut novel, Gods in Alabama. Jackson won Georgia Author of the Year
for her second novel, Between, Georgia.
She lives in Decatur, Georgia, with her family.
