Zombies are supposed to be frightening, right? Not these! Enwrapped in their own little world in the bustling city of Geistewelt, where the cobblestone streets are lined with mansions, lives the "Much pampered and much admired" Bearer family. Lady Josephine prides herself on maintaining her family's undead elegance all the while struggling to keep up with the latest trends.
One fateful night, a group of unsuspecting survivors of an ongoing zombie apocalypse stumbles into the city, and chaos ensues. The Bearers must quickly devise a plan to hide their new guests, all while trying to uphold their dignity in a society that hasn't seen a living soul in centuries. As they navigate hilarious misunderstandings, awkward dinner parties, and a series of comedic mishaps involving bizarre snacks and a misunderstanding about a "living" room, the Bearers learn that sometimes the most vital part of family is the love that transcends life and death.
In a race against time, can this aristocratic family keep their new friends safe from the town's more sinister undead elements, or will their noble efforts lead to a feast of laughter and a truly unforgettable night? Join them in this riotous tale of friendship, acceptance, and the hilarious challenges of blending two very different worlds.

The Virus Within (Original rough draft)
Back by popular request! The 2017 rough draft of The Virus Within! (Caution: Contains massive plotholes that were fixed in the polished The Virus Within Series. Grammar issues are present, particularly missing commas.) What do you do when you are one of the infected? The virus in my blood is trying to steal my humanity. It alters my very thoughts and reactions. It taunts me by tempting me with desires that it planted in my brain. These bloodthirsty desires would lead to my demise if I ever gave in. I have more in common with the zombies than with humans at this point. Even the fallen zombies accept me as one of their own. Blood is required to retain my grip on sanity, but the sweet-smelling blood from humans is a short path to madness. Human blood is to be avoided at all costs. Humankind around the world was driven close to extinction by the sudden appearance of the zombies, yet small groups of survivors constantly manage to appear and put my control to the test. -------------------------- This is a standalone zombie book. It has nothing to do with A Different Virus. I wanted to try a book with an easily irritated main character and a nutcase secondary character. This book has a slightly darker outlook at the beginning than my usual stories, but it has some humor further along. Definitely not a horror story, although it has its share of action. 4 updates a week: Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday! Copyright April 2017. All Rights Reserved.

Unexpected Chemistry
She didn't want to be here... but he might just change everything. Emily Manheim never wanted to be in the spotlight. Being the younger sister of actor Milo Manheim is enough drama for one life, and the last thing she needs is a red carpet premiere dragging her into a world of flashing cameras, screaming fans, and overly cheerful co-stars. But when she meets Malachi Barton - charming, funny, and completely different from anyone she's met - Emily realizes that some things can't be planned. A spark ignites where she least expects it, and suddenly being stuck in Hollywood doesn't feel so bad... especially when it comes with unexpected chemistry. Between family, fame, and her very reluctant first crush, Emily is about to learn that sometimes stepping out of your comfort zone might just lead to the best moments of your life.Complete
Don't Talk To Anyone | BOOK 2
(Sequel to Don't Talk To Strangers) It's been a couple months since the zombies had vanished. No more zombies. No more killings. And no more bad people. So they thought... Life is good, until something seems- out of place. Maybe it's a change in the weather or thickness of the air. Or it could be the electronic buzzing noise keeping them awake at night. The gang is suspicious, but nothing peaks their interests until one of them comes home infected. It's only a matter of time until the infection spreads around the rest of their body. It's a race against the clock to help them survive. Because the friends can't part with their own. They're family. And losing another person amongst the world is too much to handle. But if adding in revengeful ex-friends, hot summers, babies AND more zombies to the mix is what it takes to finally make these kids give up, congratulations. You got your wish. Not everyone is as strong as they want to be. Will they make it or break it?Complete
Return of The Spoiled Heiress
My first life was perfect. Good parents. A best friend. A mansion. Designer clothes. Everything a girl could ask for. I was a spoiled little brat who didn't understand how good she had it-until I died. My second life? The opposite. Born in an orphanage. No family. No future. No one gave a damn about me. Except one person. And I watched her get brutally murdered right in front of me. Then came the offer: train as an assassin, take my revenge. I said yes. I became a weapon-cold, calculating, unstoppable. And well, a little psychopathic. I got my revenge. I became one of the agency's deadliest killers. And then... I died. Again. Now I wake up back in my first life-as Eva Thorne, the spoiled heiress. Now I intend to live a perfectly normal life. Okay let's be real-me and normal don't belong in the same sentence.
