Looking In is an intriguing twisting story about the frailty of a struggling marriage and the evolution of a new found companion. Susan has been sinking into complacency for many years, but when she decides to start making changes in her life, she feels like she is being watched. First fear consumes her, and then intrigue compels her. Confident in her skills as an ex-soldier, she thinks she can protect herself from her stalker. She warns her husband Jerry about what has been going on but he dismisses her concern for paranoia. She is on a mission to find out who is watching her, and perhaps stalking her. During her quest to find her stalker, she befriends a homeless man that turns out to be more-than-meets-the-eye. The research into the homeless man’s last name turns up numerous possibilities but one seems to stand out, a technology company with ties to the government.

About the author
My name is Deanna Marie Breen-Ball and I originate from Anaheim, California. I lived in Southern California for most of my life while moving around the Orange, Riverside and San Diego County areas. I found myself beginning my true journeys in life in June of 1997 by enlisting into the US Army as a Wheeled Vehicle Mechanic. With assignments in South Carolina, Maryland, California and Darmstadt, Germany, I was able to understand that the depth to being a Soldier involves a lifestyle, rather than just a job. This lifestyle brought about experiences, knowledge and ability that reached far beyond a day-to-day life of the corperate world. While in the Army, I met my husband and we now have 2 beautiful children. I've since expanded my life experiences by graduating college and becoming a part-time educator. While doing this, I was able to work with special needs children with autism. I am currently working as a full-time stay-at-home mom and first-time author. All the life experiences, combined with the charasmatic personality that tends to connect to people, have brought me to writing the book "Looking In".
