(1888PressRelease) June 12, 2014 - PSYCHOLOGICAL THRILLER AUTHOR HELPS SHEDS LIGHT ON LIVING WITH NIGHT TERRORS IN NEW NOVEL
A dark and twisted journey through the mind and life of a terror sufferer.

Lacy Sereduk, a new and upcoming author, has released her first novel, Discernment, about a life of suffering from night terrors. Having endured night terrors from childhood, she wants to bring her story to the public so that it may give insight into what that other world is really like. For parents and family of a child or even adult sufferers, it provides a chilling look at just what sleep and bedtime may hold for those afflicted and why they may be afraid of the dark.

Readers have expressed great interest in the continuing of the story and Lacy Sereduk is currently working on a sequel. For some, understanding what a night terror involves can be difficult to grasp. Discernment places the reader inside the life of Johanna Parks as she lives through her experiences. Night terrors are often confused with lucid dreaming and vivid nightmares but, in reality, they are so very different that the average person can't really imagine what they would be like.

The book centers on a period in the life of Johanna as she tries to maintain a home, entertain a love life, and keep ahold of her sanity. As the terrors worsen and she finds herself injured after an episode, she is faced with the dilemma of seeking help or going it alone. She knows that the odds of being locked up in a psych ward are generally better than getting answers but the hauntings and real life consequences are pushing her to the edge of sanity.

With injuries (including death) and mental break-downs being a very real consequence of the disorder, the author hopes to help others understand potential triggers and just how one might respond if faced with a loved one that suffers from the disorder. Very little information is available for those seeking answers and, for those that just want a good, scary story, the book offers a lot of both.

After a very real injury that left scars and a previous experience of almost jumping out of a second story window, the book was started for personal reasons. The acclaim and reviews of the finished product brought it into the world of self-publishing. The first six chapters are available on the author's blog at lacysereduk.wordpress.com and paperback copies are available at bit.ly/1l6nsXW and Kindle download via Amazon: http://amzn.to/1oLJsbM.
