Kathryn Eberle Wildgen

As a recovering college professor, I enjoy travel, reading and writing. I split the year between the bayous of Louisiana and the Rocky Mountains of Arizona. Novels, written and in the writing, are set in these two locales. Now that the "publish or perish" pressure is off, I've turned to fiction and hope to have several novels to add to the scholarly books already available on Amazon.com. My first completed novel is "fractal," a Southern Gothic novel of chaotic suspense. My AZ home is eighty miles from Grand Canyon and I enjoy going there, sometimes just for lunch. I also relish visits from family and friends. Please visit my website at http://fractalthenovel.com. There you will find a link to a Shutterfly album of images of the places of fractal. I also invite you to visit our travel photo blog at http://wildgen.shutterfly.com. Finally if you wish to friend me on Facebook, please do so. Thanks for visiting.

I'm pleased to share my latest review:

Estranged from his mother for forty years, Malachi Walmsley travels to his boyhood

home of Covington, Louisiana, to settle her estate when he learns of her death. In the midst

of various challenges in his life, including a pending divorce, Malachi fears his trip home will

open old wounds that previously caused him to suffer frightening nightmares, which stem

from a fatal accident when he was only eight years old that left his Uncle Buddy dead and his

mother suffering from severe physical and psychological trauma. Once back in Covington,

Malachi seeks counseling to help him dig deeper into the situation; however, as the mystery

unfolds, it becomes clear that his problems are much deeper and more complicated than

they appear.

Fractal is nothing less than a stellar, all-engrossing read. Crafted entirely in the form of

email correspondence, author Kathryn Eberle Wildgen's standout offering is a dynamic

example of masterful storytelling. Combining intriguing story lines with superb character

development, Fractal cleverly intertwines the elements of historical fiction and psychological

mystery, keeping the reader in renewed, sustained suspense with each fresh turn of the page.

With Fractal as her debut offering in the world of fiction, Wildgen is sure to amass a legion

of devoted followers for each of her subsequent works. Highly recommended.
