Net Switch gives Modern Day Chat Rooms New Meaning to the Word--Escape.

Feb. 2, 2012 - PRLog -- This "on the edge of your seat" novel introduces readers into the inner thoughts and actions of Sydney Hayes. Denise offers a new insight into the world of internet romance, and her voice rings true about the fear of loneliness and what we are capable of doing to rid our lives of it.

Fans of Net Switch can preview the book by visiting Denise Baer's Facebook Fan Page, where they can read the beginning of the novel.

“Even though the physical pain has dissolved, it’s the visuals of his empty eyes and mechanical, forceful actions of humiliation that continue to slap my brain.”

"Stranded in her home during a Chicago snowstorm, Sydney meets a man in a chat room, who swiftly enters her real life and takes control of it. After chiseling away at her independence, he takes her against her will and begins playing with her life, situations becoming more sinister than the last one.

"Trapped from fear, Sydney seeks solace halfway across the country—in Seattle—obtaining a new identity. She begins to build her confidence, reclaim her life, and befriends a neighbor. Time and exposed secrets bring them close, but the man she is running from begins to show signs that he is near."

The journal entries, assembled with pictures and inserts, pull the reader into the makings of Net Switch. Sydney’s character is an oxymoron—playing on empathy and apathy. Net Switch deviates from the average suspense because it shows an insecure woman crumbling before your eyes through first person narrative and convincing dialogue. Its twists keep the reader guessing until the very last sentence.
