Grease Paint Excerpt Chapters 1-3

Beginnings. Recklessness. Spontaneity. Without purpose, she drifts through life like an autumn leaf on the wind.

Harper Parson stumbles through her 20-somethings, distracted by one unfinished dream after another. To avoid her foolish nature catching up with her for a few days longer, Harper embarks on an ill-fated backpacking trip with her brother and childhood friends into the Thornwoods.

Dark folklore drips from the forest's barbed boughs. While the bloody tales give Harper second thoughts, a chance to make a play on her crush, Conrad, just can't be passed up.

All too soon, the Thornwoods' sinister nature proves true. A killer stalks the foggy woods.

His face is smeared white. His attire better suits a carnival. His axe is sharp and eager. Yet. not all is what it seems under the misty canopy.

Harper will need all her passion and wits to see herself and her friends through this trial alive.

What is woven cannot be undone.
