by Ninie Hammon (Author) The sorceress of psychological suspense is back with the first book in her highly-anticipated new Nowhere USA series. Ninie Hammon is at her career-best in Jabberwock - a tale that will keep you up all night turning pages. Nower County was never a hard place to leave. Now, leaving is impossible. When drunk teenagers add letters to the Welcome to Nower County sign, making it Welcome to NowHerE County, nobody repaints it. Why bother? Everyone knows they live in the middle of nowhere. Children's book author Charlie McClintock and her three-year-old daughter, Merrie, return home to settle Charlie's recently deceased mother's affairs. It's the first time since high school that she and childhood friends Sam Sheridan and Malachi Tackett have been reunited. A beat of happiness before Charlie experiences an unexplainable disaster. A bizarre storm blows through the Appalachian Mountains and literally wipes Nowhere County off the map. The outside world forgets the tiny town ever existed, and no one can leave. Anyone who tries wakes up in the Dollar General Store parking lot with blinding headaches, gushing nosebleeds, and no clue what happened to them. Locals name the shimmering mirage on the county line that imprisons them the Jabberwock. Abby Clayton thinks it's Charlie's pet. Desperate to bring her baby home from the hospital across county lines, Abby is the only person who has dared to "ride the Jabberwock" more than once. She believes it spoke to her. Brain-damaged, barely able to walk from her injuries, Abby hatches a deranged plot to force Charlie to make the Jabberwock set them free. Will Malachi manage to stop her and save Charlie and Merrie in time? And can Abby survive one more ride on the Jabberwock? Jabberwock is the first book of Ninie Hammon's new series, Nowhere USA, a riveting psychological thriller about the residents of a forgotten county that inexplicably sinks through reality to find itself in the middle of Nowhere. Fans of Justified, Under The Dome, and LOST will love settling down to spend some time in Nowhere USA. Number of Pages: 246 Dimensions: 0.61 x 8 x 5 IN Publication Date: February 28, 2023
