Author Linda Bryant Richardson opens her writing career with Chalk White Fear, a suspenseful drama in which a young girl, Sally, is kidnapped by a serial killer. Sally was a happy, chubby toddler before her loving grandmother was murdered and she was stolen away to be a companion to the killer's daughter. Raised by such a spiteful and erratic woman who would fly into a rage for no reason and treated as a pet by her pseudo-sister who took pleasure in seeing her punished, the young girl struggled to merely survive her childhood. She feared mornings. Inevitably her 'mother' would find some fault to hurt her throughout the day. She feared the nights. Living in a cruel world, each mystery in the darkness was another terror. Her only safe haven was escape, from the house, from the world, from herself.

A smooth read, Chalk White Fear captures the audiences' focus and keeps each person captivated until the end.  "The book is clean, no bad words or sex, but keep(s) you on the edge of your chair, wondering what (is) going to happen next. I could hardly lay it down," Virginia Belk said on Facebook after reading Richardson's novel. "What I liked most about the book (is that it) was so easy to read."  Richardson began this story ten years ago with one paragraph on a floppy disk. She is finally achieving her dream of publishing Chalk White Fear through self-publishing with Xlibris. A signed copy of Chalk White Fear can be ordered directly from the author:       lindabryantrichardson@yahoo.com
