Disturbingly Normal, by J.D. Lenzen
The Author

J.D. Lenzen's experience of life is as dynamic and multifaceted as his writing. Holding multiple degrees in the sciences (a B.S. in Biology and an M.S. in Environmental Chemistry), he approaches his subject matter with a keen eye for detail, and an uncanny understanding of the complex interconnectedness of people, places, and scenes. Far from a distant observer, he lives the stories he tells. Integrating his life into the lives of the characters he writes about—people he knows, has struggled with, and (in some cases) against. Each and every one of his books, however fantastic, are steeped in reality. And it's this fact, above all others, that compels his readers to keep turning pages!

Lenzen's third novel, Park Days (2012), is now available through various online and select storefront retailers. His second novel, Disturbingly Normal (2010) and his first novel, Soft Candy (2007) are both available online, in stores, and here on ChapterProjects.com through "Pay What You Can" pricing (visit the Downloads page for more information).
