Who are you in your heart? Who will you become? Who will travel with you as your boon companion? Shona Waverly is a fugitive from her mother's plans to sell her as a child sex slave. Searching for her own Inner Sanctum, she creates a family. Rosa becomes the mother of her heart, who teaches her the skills she needs to survive. Annaliese, a fellow seeker, is the sister who will fight at her side. Teves is their guardian. Through a change of identity, participation in the ROTC program, and the backlash of revenge, Shona and Annaliese have an opportunity to evaluate their roots and come to terms with the parents who should have guided them. Inner Sanctum offers hope, help, and a model for those who struggle to raise themselves. Through confidential sharing, the girls form a formidable team, fighting against past and present injustices. Death, revenge, and remorse are just some of the milestones they encounter. When Shona, now known as April, realizes that for her life to move on, she must confront her mother, Annaliese has words of advice. "April, you don't need a gun to go see your mother." "Hmmm. Maybe I do." It is refreshing to read a book where the two main characters are strong female role models, and the main topic of conversation is not which boy they like. Although products of adversity, they never back down from any challenge, but rise to overcome everything the brutality life throws at them. It is notable that the supporting male characters never once take precedence; this remains the story of two adolescent girls from front to back cover. Although categorized as Young Adult, Urban Fiction, the strength of the book, will appeal to a wide range of readers, both male and female. The book flows seamlessly into Conspiracy Theory, the second book of the Fractured series. Book Two is a fast-paced mystery and espionage thriller, again featuring April and Annaliese as the main characters.

About the Author
John Morris has stories to tell. His novels are absorbing fiction, which are intense and emotional at times, and funny at others. "I study the Human Species," he relates. "I share this by writing a rainbow of human emotions. One minute the evocative words may make one cry, and the next, humour dispels the miasma. Good novels, like real life, are a question of balance, and drawing the reader in." After months of being given the run-around by dinosaurs of a prehistoric and nepotistic Publishing industry, Morris decided to do it all himself. He now self-publishes on his own fiction book Imprint: Charlotte Greene. "In this day and age, why should anybody demand submission in printed format, double spaced, and in precise fonts? Get real. I have, and it's called a computer. Charlotte Greene assists self-publishing authors. I had to learn how to do it, and now I am sharing my experience, and my team: Content Editors, Copy Editors, Cover and Graphic Design Artists, and website experts. "I am also sharing my written words with readers, and feedback has been fantastic. I'm hungry to write more, and share with others life's experiences. My books have several levels, but I love it best, when I use words to hide a clue written in plain sight. That is Cristie-esque."

Reviews
Hi John, just to say I have just finished "Inner Sanctum" and despite it not being my kind of book, I thoroughly enjoyed it! I've now passed it on to Sue to see what she thinks. You have obviously spent a lot more time on proof reading this one, as it is truly "polished" in that respect. Well done. I'm now looking forward to reading the sequel; Ian Brown
