Chill: A Confession

"Chill" is the bizarre tale of a penny stock fraud wrapped in a dysfunctional relationship sprinkled with addiction. A novel based on true events, Chill tells the story of a series of very poor decisions by a young woman with a promising career in a New York City advertising agency who throws it all away after a chance meeting with a con artist, in part because her addiction to donuts and love clouded her judgment.

This story takes place in the 1980’s, a time before cell phones proliferated; before the Internet gripped the world; before Wall Street went under yet again; before Carrie Bradshaw was an inkling in a writer’s eye or Lena Dunham could walk or talk; and before orange was the new black. Nevertheless, there have always been gullible women, men who take advantage of them, and a world too easily conned out of money because of greed.
