RWK Clark returns with an emotional roller coaster filled with twists, turns, shocks, and surprises in this serial killer psychological thriller.
A new head nurse is prowling the pediatric ward, and while she seems to be the biggest blessing to join forces there in a long time, this nurse holds on to a dark and twisted secret.
There is an evil lurking that everyone is completely oblivious to. Who will be the next to bring forth the monster?
Author Commentary
What I wanted to convey when I wrote 'Retribution.' There are terrible people in the world, more horrid than anything we can imagine. But... why are they that way? What is it that happens to them, that may transpire to others, inconsequentially or not. Do these experiences cause them to inflict harm, damage, and death?
So, I had to attempt to convey a touch of compassion for Marissa. I didn't want my readers to empathize with the protagonist, but I wanted them to sense her emotion.
Is Marissa as terrible a person as we all believe, or is she a victim of horrible circumstance? Is she nothing more than a product of her environment, or is she a monster who cannot be comprehended, regardless of the injustices bestowed upon her?
These are the questions I wanted to ask. I have written about human fear... human fear, in its realest form, is the worst fear of all. The types of things that keep us awake at night. The things that have every possibility of being real, those are the things that are horrifying, those are the things that will tear us limb from limb.
It is not for me, even as the author, to determine whether or not that is right or wrong, fair or unfair. In the grand scheme of things, anything can happen to anyone, and it is only a personal perspective and choice that dictate how they will use what they endure.What is the message behind 'Retribution'?
Simply put, the message is nothing more than a question. No matter what we are presented with, or attacked by, or hurt because of - what will we do?
How will we use the rocks that are thrown at us? Will we collapse on top of them, a mess of near-dead emotions and bitterness down in a hole of despair? Or will we pick them up as they come, one at a time, and begin to stack them, making one step after another out of them until we are able to find our way out of the hole.
Whatever you do don't let life and all the troubles it is made of destroy you; allow it to create and strengthen you. The choice is always yours, and yours alone.
