Meet Kaz Harper

KASSANDRA "KAZ" HARPER

A 17-year-old high school student from Northern California.

Loves video games, has her own guild in an online MMORPG.  Keeps her head down in school, lucked into some popular friends.  Home life a bit unsteady.

A fairly normal life, all things considered.

Until the night she went to sleep and found herself in a strange forest, with five other kids she had never met before in her life.

It couldn't be real, of course.  Could it?  Especially when a living scarecrow attacked the group from out of nowhere.  Almost like something from one of her video games...

With all Kaz has to deal with at school, at home - in life - the last thing she wants is to become embroiled in some fight against evil for some higher being she never sees.

But then, we can't always get what we want.  And as she learns to work with the other teens, to forge a team of six very different people plunged into this bizarre scenario together, she may just come to understand that if you try, sometimes you might find you get what you need...

Available now for the Kindle at $2.99

Paperback coming soon...
