Watching children play and invent whimsical games of
fantasy is one of life’s great joys.  But what if you could actually
see your child’s imagination as it unfolded?  And what would you
do if your child’s imagination suddenly became dark and threatening? 

Burned-out and broke, twenty-two-year-old single mother
Anna Jennings moves to her grandparents’ rural home for the summer with her
four-year-old son, David. The sudden appearance of shadowy dinosaurs forces
Anna to admit that either she’s lost her mind or she can actually see her son’s
active imagination. Frightened for David’s safety, Anna struggles to learn the
rules of this bizarre phenomenon and how best to protect him. But what she
uncovers along the way is completely unexpected: revelations about what her
son’s imaginary friends truly represent and dark secrets about her own
childhood imaginary friend.

Living next door is Jamie Presswood, Anna’s childhood
friend who’s grown much more handsome and hardened than the boy she once knew.
But past regrets and their messy lives are making the rekindling of their complex
friendship prove easier said than done. Between imaginary creatures stalking
her son and a tumultuous relationship with David’s biological father, Anna may
find it impossible to have room in her life or her heart for another man. But
as David’s visions become more threatening, Anna must learn to differentiate
between which dangers are real and which are imagined, and whom she can truly
trust.

You can read an excerpt of ‘Imaginary Things’ here.  

‘Imaginary Things’
takes place in a Midwest made so vivid and alive, so much its own character,
that it becomes thrillingly believable that as Grandma styles the local brides’
hair into ringlets and the next door neighbor may be fighting a pain-killer
addiction, a T-rex is running through the backyard. This isn’t just a
psychological thriller, but a love story, and Andrea Lochen has put words to a
reality that is as imaginary as it is rock solid.
– Laura Kasischke, author of In a Perfect World

Cleverly written
with a perfect touch of magic, Imaginary Things will take you on a journey of
the unexpected, and leave you contemplating the power of your own mind.
– Liz Fenton & Lisa Steinke, authors of Your Perfect Life

Rarely does a book
surprise me. But Imaginary Things caught me completely off-guard! Andrea Lochen
writes another beautiful book, filled with vivid scenes, unforgettable characters,
and oodles of heart. With a page-turning plot and an utterly unique concept, Imaginary
Things entertains, inspires, and provokes thought–a perfect book club pick.
– Lori Nelson Spielman, author of The Life List

If it’s possible
to write a witty modern fairy tale about a down-on-her-luck young mother, her
erratic ex, and her charming four-year-old boy, Andrea Lochen has done it. Anna
is not your typical overwhelmed mom, but her story feels like a friend’s. Imaginary
Things reminded me again and again that the act of raising a child is a love
story, a test of strength, and a thrill ride.
– Susanna Daniel, author of Stilsville
