Dead Girl

(CreateSpace Independent Publishing Platform, Aug. 30, 2014)
An undiagnosed brain tumor sends sixteen-year-old Dahlia Grove into a coma in Our World. But she wakes up in the Shadow Lands--a parallel reality where diseases take physical form as vicious monsters, and packs of feral children battle for survival in a haunted city. In the Shadow Lands, she must hunt down her tumor and destroy it before it kills her in Our World. Dahlia finds allies in a sleepy-eyed swordsman fighting to protect his tribe, and a handsome ghost struggling to regain his humanity. But when a mysterious witch leads an army of cannibals to conquer the city, she must choose between saving her friends and saving herself. If she fails, she dies. DEAD GIRL.
