Lauren is forced to listen to 13 stories introduced to her through white noise. Each story, Lauren, becomes part of the story. Feeling the pain the stories reveal. Why is she so connected to the ones telling the stories?
All while having to deal with a sadistic nurse and doctor who seems to not have her best interests in mind! While at times therapy seems to be working, Lauren can't help but feel there is something more sinister going on!
However, with no one on the outside knowing who she is, it is up to Lauren, and the other patients to try to figure it out before it is too late!

BACKGROUND
White Noise Stories - Volume Three took me 4 years to write. I started writing it right before we found out my husband has stage 4 colon cancer. Needless to say, that prognosis led us to re-evaluate our lives.
Throughout those years, we concentrated spending more time together. Vacationing and doing events. During one event, a Renaissance Fair, we were King and Queen. Which led me to write a children's book, Unseen Beauty, to read at the fair.
In turn, it took him and I on a crazy little adventure with him in a pink unicorn costume to promote my children's book. I also did readings for the kids at the Goddard Schools. I proceeded to expand it into a series of 6 books. During that time my husband became clear and we looked forward to the future.
I then started writing a monthly article, Tammy's Tidbits, for the Central NY Women Magazine as well as Rochester Women Magazine. My time was being stretched but I continued to write WN3.
Then Covid hit and well, we all know how difficult that was. All our events were taken away. We were isolated. Work slowed immensely. I admit, I was too depressed to even think about writing.
Events then started up again. We were beginning to get back into the swing of things. I even picked up a third magazine article for Poisonous Pinups. Plus, I was getting close to finishing WN3.
Then my husband's cancer came back. Being so close to finishing, I wanted to get WN3 done before he went back on treatment. I succeeded. I do have hopes for a WN4 and hope to start on it soon. I'm just not sure what more life is going to throw at me.
Until then, I hope you enjoy White Noise - Volume 3. I'm sorry it took so long but hopefully it was worth it. I did enjoy writing it, the story was always within me to let it out.
Honestly, I had always planned on WN3 being the last in the series. It was going to be my trilogy I had never written. However, just recently I had an idea that would work for the continuation of the series. One I am very excited about and am hoping I will be able to release it into the world soon.
