The Dream by Ashley Hastings Synopsis: After a successful first novel, Penny Pensive is afflicted by a bad case of writer’s block. Working on a sequel, she has engineered the murder of her main character’s husband, but she has no idea how to continue. She takes a nap, only to be awakened (or is it a dream?) by loud knocking on the door. Upon opening the door she is confronted by a woman who claims to be her main character, Verity Semper! Verity complains bitterly about the recent murder of her husband Frank, which took place in exactly the same way as in Penny’s manuscript. At first, Penny dismisses Verity’s story as a hoax, but she is soon persuaded that she is face-to-face with her own creation. The following passionate debate between author and character explores the author's own psyche to find a solution to Penny's writer's block. The story opens with an internal conflict and ends with a mystery!
