Synopsis:
Winner of the 2008 IPPY Award for Excellence in Independent

In early summer of 1973 a restless young woman, resentful of
her crippled husband and two young children, goes on a "night
with the girls," only to find herself running for her life...
In the same coastal town not far away, a mentally ill man
tormented by "aliens" takes refuge from a storm in his
cardboard box home...
What could these people possibly have in common?
Enter another young woman living in the distant future--the
year 2202--and struggling with a life-crippling phobia, who
makes an extraordinary choice that will soon change all three
of their lives forever.

The future as described in The Starfish People and the character
development are what I found to be most clever and enthralling. I
became engrossed in the characters and their stories as they related to
Sera in her time travel. They seemed so real as did the whole story! I
found that I cared for and had emotions for these characters! I read the
book in one sitting and was captured from the first chapter to the last
line. The author, Leann Marshall, is a master at taking the reader from
his/her time and space to hers! *****__Kathy Jewell

Leann Marshall's The Starfish People is such a wonderful writing
(recognized for excellence as the Independent Publisher Books
Awards’ Silver Medal Winner for Science Fiction/Fantasy); one must
ask just what it was that could possibly have won the gold? A truly
compulsive read leaving behind an energy signature all its own!
