So excited to share this chapter preview of PRETTY DEAD GIRLS with you! My first young adult thriller is coming January 2nd -- here's the synopsis:

Beautiful. Perfect. Dead. 

In the peaceful seaside town of Cape Bonita, wicked secrets and lies are hidden just beneath the surface. But all it takes is one tragedy for them to be exposed. 

The most popular girls in school are turning up dead, and Penelope Malone is terrified she's next. All the victims so far have been linked to Penelope-and to a boy from her physics class. The one she's never really noticed before, with the rumored dark past and a brooding stare that cuts right through her. 

There's something he isn't telling her. But there's something she's not telling him, either. 

Everyone has secrets, and theirs might get them killed.

The Case of the Silent Psychic by fixer291
16 parts Ongoing
On a cold dark night, a storm raged, and a woman lay dying. In her life she had been a psychic who spoke to the dead, but who had wanted to stop her? And what secrets were they trying to hide? With all the mystic connections involved in her murder, the police are out of their depth. They need someone with more knowledge of the magical arts, and so the only hope they have for solving the case is to ask for help from the Fairy Detective Agency. Princess Elysia and her friends are no longer children, they have grown up and left the fairy realm. Now they have travelled through the veil and into the human realm, where the mysteries are darker and more gritty. Their fairy magic can help them crack the case in ways the police could only dream of... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ A/N: a young adult mystery novel. Kind of loosely inspired by the Rainbow Magic fairy books that I used to read to my daughter, and then imagining them being rebooted as a young adult drama in the style of Riverdale, or something like that kind of vibe. So if any of that sounds appealing, check it out.
