SILEX, Mo. — Writing a book is something many people talk about doing. For Silex native Nicholas J. Fleming, it’s something he can now say he’s accomplished.
Fleming recently released his debut novel, Unfriendly Secrets, a psychological thriller that follows six college friends whose reunion takes an unexpected turn as long-hidden secrets begin to surface.
The novel explores themes of friendship, mental health and mystery while taking readers through a story filled with twists and multiple character perspectives.
Publishing a first book is no small accomplishment. From developing the story and characters to editing and bringing the project to print, Fleming spent years turning an idea into a finished novel now available to readers across the country.
Unfriendly Secrets is available through BookBaby, Amazon, Barnes & Noble and other major book retailers in both paperback and digital formats.
The debut novel is only the beginning. Fleming told Lincoln CountyWatch that a second book in the series is already in the works.
Whether you’re a fan of thrillers or simply enjoy supporting local talent, Fleming’s accomplishment is one Lincoln County can be proud of.
Readers can learn more by following the Nicholas Fleming Author Page on Facebook or by purchasing Unfriendly Secrets through their preferred book retailer.
