SYNOPSIS
“We were the nightmares of nightmares…”
On the surface, Ricki Conklin is just an average bloke, a brilliant tattooist with his own shop.
Below the surface, he’s a vigilante revenge-seeker, atoning for a past he fears will never set him free.
Jaime is his everything, his foul-mouthed Dollface.
Covered in ink from collarbone to feet, she’s a wild child after his heart.
Set adrift, losing faith in herself and humanity, she’s broken down not by abuse, but by neglect. For years, she exists only so she can finally come home.
This is their story.

REVIEW
[Patti]
Amazon/Goodreads rating: 5/5
In Patti's Imagination rating: 10/10
At the end of Ten Thousand Words, I was excited to read Jamie and Ricki's story. I knew it would be interesting - given what we'd learned about them from Ollie's point of view, how could it not be? What I didn't expect is what Kelli Jean gave us. Both of these characters were layered in the way that you'd imagine, because that's just what Kelli does; she's skilled at building worlds and complex people, and as a reader, you can't help wanting to know them (even if, in this case, you might have reservations about exactly HOW you'd be a part of their lives!) There was, however, a beautiful vulnerability to Ricki that I could not have anticipated. Both the method of delivery and the execution of the story were fantastic. I loved every minute, even more than I loved Ollie and Xanthe, maybe even more than I loved Kenna and Phil in NOLA's Own.
One thing I realized, as I was finishing this story, was how utterly mind-blowing it had been to tell Ten Thousand Words from the point of view of Oliver. We're lead into this world in the same way that Ollie is, and that was bloody brilliant. The more he knows, the more we discover as a reader. Even if I didn't adore Kelli Jean's worlds for themselves, I would be in awe of her storytelling skills. She's still learning and growing as a writer (aren't we all?), but the fact that she's capable of creating such engaging and dynamic tales already is just one reason why I will jump a the chance to read her work. Every time.
Now, I'll be itching for more of the Locals until Ten Thousand Truths releases, and we finally learn about Deo and Opie. I can't wait.

AUTHOR BIO
Born and raised in Miami, Kelli Jean traded the tropical heat for the arctic. Now she deals with twenty-four hour daylight in the summer, zero sunlight in the winter, and believes the Northern Lights make up for the mind-boggling amount of ice and snow she has to put up with for seven months out of the year.
She's surrounded by mountains and ocean and sheep, and claims her bizarre sense of humor
is what keeps her sane.
The insane don't know they're insane.
Kelli uses her imagination to create worlds she can escape to from the mundane tasks of everyday life, such as washing the damn dishes and vacuuming up Legos off the floor--and don't get her started on the mad amount of cat hair on the end of the couch. She gave up on that a long time ago. When the household goes to sleep at night, she writes down everything that happened in her head while doing such tedious chores. But she enjoys living in her own head, so that's pretty cool.
Technology terrifies her. She can barely turn on a computer, and was completely shocked when she'd actually written a book on one. To this day, she has no explanation for this baffling mystery. It took her three years to realize she can take screen shots of messages and pictures of bearded, tattooed men with her phone. Now that she's mastered this task, her phone is slowly dying, and she's nervous that she's going to have to buy a new one and it will take her another three years to learn how to use it.
