NOVELS IN PROGRESS

A GUIDE TO THE HIDEOUS DAMSELS

WIP Young Adult Novel, Magical Realism

A pandemic is sweeping across the globe, turning girls and women into deadly monsters. Ariana Donatella is the battle-scarred 17-year-old who understands them best, because she (inadvertently) created them. Armed with supplies ranging from bubble bath and body armor, to scotch tape and Fig Newtons, she sets off on a quest to find her younger sister and unmutate her from the screaming squid creature she's become. Her efforts are both helped and hindered by a flighty new friend and a passive-aggressive epidemiologist who insists on tagging along in the hopes of finding a permanent cure.
