North Window: The Stranger Behind the Reflection

This book is about my novel, North Window.
I wrote it between 2010 and 2015.
I have written four novels in total and North Window is my third.
I had a job, family and a house. My life couldn’t seem more ordinary. I had been writing stories since my early teens and thought nothing of it.
This story seemed to bear no relevance to my life at all. Insomniac, Luke has two lives. By day, he is drafting documents between corporations; by night, he pays to watch erotica from his apartment window.
But one performer rues the day she took the commission. Who is this client she works for? And why does the night bring unease when her voyeur takes his post within the shadows?
A year after completing this novel, I learned something truly terrible about myself. Unbeknown to me, clues to this horrific truth had leaked into my stories, paintings, poems and other creations.
I have since discovered an undercurrent to this novel. This undercurrent was rendered invisible to the one I believed I was writing.
My novels are not strictly novels at all, but something sinister. The dictionary lacks a word for what they really are.
As this is a true story, I have used my diaries as part of this account. Illustrations are provided in order to convey the intensity of my inner world.
One word of note: Dispel all preconceptions about this novel.
The story is nothing like what it appears.
