This book is now available on Amazon and unfortunately they won't allow me to put it up elsewhere for free, not even the unedited draft. Sorry! The Vikings! Aelswyn had heard about them, all the tales of their barbaric behaviour, the rapes and pillages, the massacres, the burnt villages. But she never thought they would dare to attack her father's stronghold. And that they would succeed...

Summer Jacobs knew full well about her town’s tradition. Every year at the end of the summer, a party would be held on school grounds without the knowledge of the parents or the teachers. It had been happening since before Summer was born and never once was anyone the wiser. This year however, everyone was going to find out. Summer had planned a weekend of alcohol, bad decisions and horrendous photo’s which she would later un-tag herself from on Facebook. A whole weekend with her friends at the biggest party of the year, without any worries or parents telling her what to do. So how she ended up trapped in the school with a deranged psycho killing her classmates off one by one, she will never know. It wouldn’t have been as bad if she was trapped on her own. She would have been happier to face the lunatic solo rather than be trapped with a guy who kept using the life or death situation to make passes at her. His theory was being so close to death should definitely loosen her up, and by ‘loosen up’ he definitely meant ‘get naked.’ Along with his friends who between them had the IQ of a baby tree stump, an outcast who probably still had Spiderman bed sheets and the cheerleaders who were more worried about all the blood staining their new white jeans, they had to somehow make it out of there alive. And to think, Summer’s biggest worry that weekend was waking up with a brutal hangover… ©makeandoffer

High School is a popularity contest, every teenager knows that. There's the cheerleaders and jocks, the preps, the nerds, the band geeks, the skater punks, the emos and goths and of course everyone in between. As a result of this so called "food chain" is the constant bullying and the pressure to fit in. But one school is taking a stand against this in a very peculiar manner. Each year, twelve students from the different social groups are selected to partake in Project 61 Days for the two months, the whole of their summer vacation. This year, things are a little different, including a surprisingly pretty nerd, an egotistical music geek, a theatre-loving skater girl and the sweet-centred jock. Personalities are sure to clash in this social experiment like no other. © 2013-2016 summerdaze13 [lovely cover by @Illusionniste]
