    About this series

    Being Martha

    Circus Freak Series Book Three

    Martha knows things. For starters, she wants away from the big top. But it won’t be easy.

    To finally be free of the circus life, she has to find herself. That will mean facing reality. And Martha, unlike the rest of the oddities, knows the truth.

    There are actualities that come with working in the circus:

    1. You don’t apply for no reason.
    2. No one is who they seem.
    3. It’s impossible to leave unchanged.

    The carnival’s resident bearded lady, is no different than anyone else. With secrets to hide, she roams the travelling circus grounds at night searching. Living as a freak show spectacle under the lights is old. When darkness falls, she is fully herself but risks someone finding her out.

    Clinging to a secret identity, can Martha hang on to her skeletons and retire circus life undiscovered?

    Or will she be exposed for her true curiosity?

    Being Martha is the horrific story of a anomaly searching to find herself in a place where the show must go on.

      This book can be read as a standalone or as book two of International Bestselling Author Erin Lee's Circus Freak Series. This life of a circus freak ain't easy. It's especially difficult when you're part of a conjoined twin big top act where disagreements are a daily thing. It's worse when your twin is in love with a killer and you can't convince him to run the other way - even if you are the one with the legs. If you do, he'll kill you anyway. Same can be said for the guy in love who can't get a moment's privacy. All the carnie brothers ever dreamed about was being average Joe's. But sometimes, at the circus anyway, wishes can be less than magical things...

      The Contortionist Book Four Circus Freak Series When you work in a travelling carnival, it's easy for things to get twisted. I'll admit it, I've got my secrets too. But it's nothing like the mutants I spend my days with. And they aren't the worst either. Sometimes, the biggest freaks of them all are the ones I sell tickets to. They come out for Sunday afternoon shows hoping to catch a glimpse of magic that doesn't really exist. They don't care that, to put on the show, there are a lot of risks. Sure, I made my choice. I came here by my own will. But ever since that day in high school shop class, I've learned there are things you have to take slow. With Bearded Martha and Cat distracted with troubles of their own, I'm not so sure what the big deal is about a five finger discount – only that I have four. My name is Leslie and I'm the carnival contortionist. It's my job to bend round and round and try not to break my back. What people don't know, is I'm twisting a whole lot more than that. And someday? All of this will be my show – if can only get away with it. It'll start with getting rid of the new girl named Neptune.

      What happens when the greatest show and only alien on earth collide? Meet Neptune. Born between the stars, she really had no other destiny. Tired of being a spectacle and unable to fit in with ordinary humans, Neptune finally finds a home in the circus. There, as the best-ever flying act, Neptune tries to make sense of her freaky co-workers; all of whom seem to have secrets. Will it take a natural born star from another galaxy to make things right at the circus again? Or, are some things far beyond the control of the cosmos?
