I have spent the last week formatting my psychological thriller novel, Finding Sanity, for paperback. If you want a signed copy, I would love to make that happen. The price will be $13.95 plus shipping. For a signed copy, we will need to do a paypal transaction. My email is theresa.renee.stoddard@gmail.com
Synopsis: Waking up in solitary confinement is never fun for anyone, and Randall is no exception. He is subjected to relive crucial moments from his past until he finds himself out on his own, free. Deciphering what is real vs. fantasy is half the fun. He finds new love, but as always an old flame complicates things. His reality and fantasy worlds collide putting him in a very compromising position. Can he make it out with his relationships intact?
Reviews:
"I was one of a small fraction of lucky people to have read parts of this novel as it was in progress, and to see the final result is wonderful. This story will keep you on the edge of your seat as Randall goes about his day-to-day life and the crazy things meandering through his mind. Sorting out what is real and what is a figment of Randall's imagination keeps you guessing until the very end."-Jason (Amazon)
"T.R. Stoddard takes the reader on a maddening ride in Finding Sanity. Randall and Amanda's story unfold in a vivid tale like no other I have read. In a flash of movie-like scenes that play inside Randall's head, the reader learns how a quietly tormented man can find himself in solitary confinement awaiting death. Not for the light at heart or the weak stomached, this book will awaken your senses and keep you up turning pages."-Catherine (Amazon)
"Reading this book I was reminded of Patrick Bateman from American Psycho by Bret Easton Ellis -- The protagonist has that element of complete whack-job crazy about him. Also, the violence, in particular the sexual violence, is similarly detailed. T.R. Stoddard provides an imaginative and genuinely creepy view from within the mind of a homicidal maniac. Sometimes, the action comes so thick and fast it nails you to the chair, other times you're almost scared to read on, knowing that at any second, her nutcase going to go from an everyday activity like feeding his cat to being a bloodthirsty psychopath. This book is not for the faint-hearted (had it been released twenty years ago, it'd probably have been banned, just like American Psycho was) and that makes it a must read in my book."-SJBgilmour (Amazon)
"What an amazing twist of events in this book. Just when you think you have it figured out, it throws you for another loop. Intense, gory, sexual..I'm ready for more!"-Amanda J (Amazon)
"I remember reading Stephen King's book "IT", and being so scared and creeped out that I had to put it down, take a breather, and continue again...It's been a LONG time since a book has done that to me~ until "Finding Sanity". I really really wanted to hate Randall, and I did in the beginning. I was cursing at Ms. Stoddard for her brilliant way of making me feel sorry for him! And Allison, wow....I didn't see THAT coming! And the ending!!! Omg...perhaps a sequel in the works!!???"-Tonya (Amazon)
"With a prose so intense you feel as though the words are engraving themselves onto your soul, T.R. Stoddard has captured my interest as well as a deep dark secret side of me within the first few pages of Finding Sanity. As the pages turn, I grow more and more infatuated with the characters Randall and Amanda. I have reached the point in the book where I want to continue reading as fast as I can, but at the same time don't want to because that means the story will end. Truly a page-turning, edge-of-your-seat read. Intense, mind-blowing, and ground-breaking are all terms I'd use to describe Finding Sanity."- EffinNikktastic (Amazon)
"After I decided to pick up this book I honestly couldn't put it down, from the detailed descriptions that made you feel like you were a part of Randall's world that was turning upside down to the suspense you felt with every turn of the page. At moments I could feel myself cringing at the grotesque scenes but I feel that is one of the things that make this book truly amazing. The title truly fits the book because through out it all you're left guessing to if he really does find his sanity or if it's just another figment of his imagination. As you continue on you are left with many questions that leave you hoping for a sequel to come. All in all this book is really worth your time and I would certainly recommend it."- Ginny (Amazon)
