CULTURE SHOCK is a witty
tale of mystery and romance with a large helping of southern
hospitality.
Macy Holmes is a
seventeen-year-old socially-isolated introvert since her best
friend's death a year ago. When her family decides to move from
Manhattan to the quaint country town of Bougainvillea, Florida, Macy
finds she's in a completely different world. Macy is no longer the
outsider hiding behind designer clothes when she is sought out by
three strange students, one of whom she is particularly interested
in. The more time she spends with Chad the more things don't add up.
When his true identity is finally revealed, Macy is pulled into a
supernatural society with its saturation of inhabitants residing in
Bougainvillea.
You would think she has
enough on her plate, but no, then her dreams become infiltrated by an
external magical force, Macy and her band of supernatural misfits
must find the culprit behind the magic-induced nightmares. They must
dodge zombie assassins, shifty shape-shifters and high school bullies
in order to stop this perpetrator before Macy, her friends or her
parents pay the ultimate price.
Especially when Macy has
the sneaking suspicion that these dreams are reality...
Excerpt:
We found a spot over by the water free of sawgrass. It
was a beautiful view. On the back end of the lake was a dense forest.
It was dark just beyond the first set of trees. That was the only end
of the lake that had remained uninhabited. There was a syrupy mist
rising slowly off the surface of the water. It was creepy, but
romantic in a sinister way. The sights, sounds, and smells all
mingled together to create a scene an artist would love to capture
with the stroke of his brush.
Note: I would like to do
the prologue and Chapter 1 but the word limit is too short, so I’ve
included some samples above from the book to peak interest.
