Secrets. Those dirty little things that we all have and hide. Those are the things that we conceal within ourselves, hiding who we are and what we have gone through. No one ever expected Celeste to be a fighter. Nearly a year ago she was just the life of the party, a girl who could be anyone's friend. Everything changed when she was kidnapped. That week of captivity left her damaged beyond repair, or so she thought. Some people may not believe that there is hope for the old Celeste, yet that doesn't matter for some of those that care deeply about her. With her kidnapper still lurking in the shadows, Celeste feels that the only way to protect those that she cares for is to push them away from her. She fights for the fear that follows her and the hope of self defense. She fights for her family and the lost friends that she's nearly forgotten. She fights for her future and the protection of her secrets. Those secrets create who we are and who we are destined to become. They shape us. We are who we are only with them. This creates who Celeste is now, a mix of pain, strength, and hope. Some people believe that this makes her the Pretty Little Fighter Girl that she is today. Most people would have never expected this of her... Would you?

Little does she know that the new life she is about to start, is one that is only supposed to exist only in fairy tales. What was a minor decision put her in the wrong place at the wrong time; a decision that will be burned into her memory, a decision that forced her to fight for her life, a decision that will turn her into a thing of fairy tales- and it only took one bite.

In one day, the world succumbed to a pestilence that decimated the living. In its place rose a new species: vicious, gruesome, wandering zombies with an insatiable hunger for the living. Still in her twenties, Cash has watched her friends die, only to walk again. An office worker with few survival skills, she joins up with Clutch, a grizzled Army veteran with PTSD. Together, they flee the city and struggle through the nine circles of hell, with nothing but Clutch's military experience and Cash's determination to live. As they fight to survive in the zombie inferno, they quickly discover that nowhere is safe from the undead...or the living. (100 Days in Deadland is a journey through the first poem in Dante Alighieri's Divine Comedy, the classic tale on the horrors of hell... zombie apocalypse style!) (Note: This is a draft so please excuse any errors. The finished novel is available in paperback, ebook, and audiobook).
