Cherry blossom lipstick: check Smokey eyes: check Skinny jeans: check Dead kid in the mirror: check For sixteen year old Mattie Hathaway, this is her normal everyday routine. She's been able to see ghosts since her mother tried to murder her when she was five years old. No way does she want anyone to know she can talk to spooks. Being a foster kid is hard enough without being labeled a freak too. Normally, she just ignores the ghosts and they go away. There's a little glitch this time. The ghost she sees is her foster sister, Sally. Everyone thinks she's just another runaway. Mattie knows the truth, though-she's dead, murdered. Foster kids look out for each other and Mattie feels like she has to help Sally, but she can't do it alone. Against her better judgment, she teams up with a young police officer and together they set out to discover the truth of Sally's disappearance. Now the killer has set his sights on her. It becomes a race to see if she can find the truth before the serial killer finds her.

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!)

"Hope" has received recognition from Wattpad in being added to their reading list "Black and White" - The Art of Contrast! My name is Jerry Brookes. 20 years ago is when it all started. For four years I survived in the world. I killed, scavenged and stole, all to survive. Then I came across a sanctuary called "The Village". I lived there for 16 years, watching over Ash, the girl I swore to protect after her father passed away. We had running water, food, drinks, a pool, a tennis court, a church... We had a community, a place without infection. We had a sanctuary that made us forget about the outside world. Had. We've been driving for about three hours now. The Village far behind us. The threat we thought was gone, is more powerful than before. Our fantasy is over, we are faced with the real world now... I just hope we can survive.
