PARSIPPANY — A longtime resident, Richard Zawisha, has published his first novel, titled “Twisted.” The novel is based on a middle aged couple, “The Stiltons” who encountered a tragic event in a small hamlet in West Point, New York.
A manuscript has been published by FriesenPress detailing what had occurred to that couple. It could not be determined as to whether the manuscript was a fictional novel or a their account of what happened to the Stiltons. The author used a pseudonym of Linda Rich and made one condition for publishing.
This is a summation from the back cover of Rich Zawisha’s first novel TWISTED by Linda Rich: Rich is a Parsippany resident of 20 years. After retiring in 2012, he took up a life long ambition of writing his first novel much to the glee of his wife Linda who threatened to kill him if he planned to laze around for the next 25 years.
TWISTED was probably written by a person who worked in law enforcement who documented the grizzly facts that occurred to this couple. The author requested that the story be told with only one condition.
Fans of Ann Rule, Gillian Flynn, Janet Evanovich and Sandra Brown will enjoy reading this book while trying to discover the ultimate twist to the story. The book combines an accounting of real murders and the mistakes made, humor, erotica and political statements. It fosters a unique style of writing never encountered before.
The book can be purchased online through FriesenPress via their bookstore, by clicking here.
Rich will be donating part of the proceeds from this novel to local non-profit groups.
