Jumpers

By Kameko Murakami

Kristin was seventeen, popular, beautiful and with everything to live for.

Then she jumped off the Golden Gate Bridge and was never seen again.

Now her mother, Detective Sara Frost, on leave from the San Francisco Police Department and drowning in a sea of grief and alcohol, is called in to deal with a situation she doesn’t feel ready to handle.

Another girl is about to jump, and the only person she will talk to is Sara.

And the only thing she wants to talk about is a world beyond the fabric of our own: a world of strange beauty and frightening beasts.

A world that Kristin fell into when she jumped off the Bridge, and landed in a place of dreams and nightmares.

And this mysterious jumper tells Sara that she knows how to get there.

Is the jumper as mad as she sounds, or could there be even the slightest chance that what she's saying is true?

Can Sara ever hope to see her daughter again?

Is she willing to take a leap of faith?

Kameko Murakami

Kameko Murakami is an author and oddball who lives, works and breathes in a somewhat-haunted Victorian in San Francisco that she shares with a dog which appears out of thin air (but only when it wants to shower in her bathroom), a sometimes roommate who is fond of breaking and entering, and far too many dusty books to even bother with counting. She is the author of numerous author's bios for Smashword's Kameko Murakami Page, most of which ended up reading like postings on an internet dating website. Kameko Murakami also likes walks along the beach, making breakfast in bed and loving the same kind of obscure bands that you do. She used to date a Serbian with a handlebar mustache. She doesn't have the Serbian anymore, but she does still have his motorcycle, so there is that. When not tirelessly working on making the world a better place through the power of naps and general laziness, she sits at her antique desk, alone with her thoughts, writing by the light of a single candle, producing stories to entertain and delight, if you're into that kind of thing.
