-THIS IS AN UNEDITED FIRST DRAFT OF THIS BOOK-

Five people, who all accidentally kill someone during their lives, all die within their respective time periods. When united in the afterlife, a purgatory black desert world called Cou'Ra Ta'Nir, they are presented with an impossible task to atone for their sins: build a mountain. Whilst trying to defy the laws of creation, they are imprisoned in this strange world and given the names of those who they killed; Peregrine, Saskue-Unknown (Su), Squad 833 (Sett), Alice and Mina. 

After discovering that only one man has ever managed to achieve this task and chose to remain in Cou'Ra Ta'Nir rather than progress onto Heaven, Peregrine and her new companions set out to climb his mountain to discover the secret of creation and why he stayed. But darker secrets will emerge...

(Note: there are no sexual, violent, nor vulgar themes or scenes in this story, but Wattpad says it is Mature, I suppose due to the presence of suicidality in some of the book? Imho this is Women's Fiction, as it has a strong female protag. who saves herself and has a hopeful ending. -ShiraDest, 5 November, 12015 HE) (Started on 4 November 12015 for the 2015 November 50k word story #SuperCharged #JustWriteIt challenge. Rough Draft done 29November, Posting 2nd draft chapter by chapter now...) Update: 18 September, 12017 HE: I don't think I ever did give much backstory for any of my MCs. As for clarifying the setting, I sat down to edit for setting, and realized that my problem with this practice novel is that it was written for one particular person, which is why I had so much trouble making the place definite at the start. I also thought about Marie's entrance: I'd meant to convey that expected noises were identified, and thus less likely to set off panic.

Once upon a time, in a small Carolina border town, there lived a woman and her dead best friend's kids. Orphaned at fifteen, Mackenzie Temple can't exactly fly under the radar. People still whisper about those poor children that deceased, alcoholic mother left behind. To make sure her new surrogate parent doesn't regret her decision, Mackenzie sticks to two simple rules: Head down. Grades up. But when an evening of rule bending kicks off a chain of unfortunate events, Mackenzie's carefully constructed world begins to unravel. And that mysterious mountain boy isn't making things any easier. Meanwhile, her strange Art History class taught by even stranger teachers embarks on a field trip, taking the concept of strange to a whole new level. Was learning how to track evil creatures even on the course syllabus? With chunks of memories missing, Mackenzie's world falls deeper into chaos. For her little brother's sake, she can no longer hide behind her books. Facing enemies, old and new, she must act or lose the very thing she's tried so hard to protect. Secrets must be kept. Lies must be told. Monsters must be stopped.
