Ellen Farrell's Payment Page

The book asks: What would you do if you found you were working for goblins and they wanted to replace you with one of their own? Satirical, wicked, full of wit and a wild ride! From Kirkus Discoveries: "In a postmodern voice similar to that of Tom Robbins, Farrell crafts a constantly changing landscape of the real and surreal..." Laurie Morgan was thrilled to be chosen as the "face" of Glamourine Cosmetics, but that was before she found out her job was leading her to enslavement and worse. She follows the trail of mysterious photographs left by a half-sized twin of herself into a frightening world where you'll find the denizens of strip clubs, neo-nazis and drag queens sharing the stage with fairy-tale creatures living hidden amongst us. Behind her prison bars, Laurie Morgan doesn't look at all like she once did. She's been labeled a crazy killer and a domestic terrorist. No one believes her strange tale of goblins, unseen observants, and dragon-folk. No one even believes she's actually Laurie Morgan. While awaiting trial she writes down her story on two yellow legal pads. Her story starts a few days after her divorce and follows her through betrayal and loss to a domed goblin city, submerged in Lake Michigan near Navy Pier in Chicago. Friends and family members are pulled into the nightmare her life has become as they try to help Laurie get her identity back. In this irreverent, dark, contemporary fantasy the masks of our society are torn away to expose a strange new world where malevolent, little creatures pull the strings of our lives and nothing is as it seems.
