Description:
Kate
isn’t thrilled to be moving to the middle of nowhere. She's already
lost her parents, now she's leaving the only place she's ever known
as home. She’s not there long when she realizes her dreams aren’t
her own and that she has the ability to walk through other people's
dreams. Not only that, but she might have found her dream
guy--literally. He's in her dreams.
Just
when she starts to get the hang of dream walking, strange murders in
her new town start to occur. Girls are being killed as they sleep
with no evidence, no suspects and no clear motive behind the deaths.
It doesn’t take Kate very long to realize that the girls aren’t
just being killed as they sleep—they’re being killed in their
sleep.
Kate must figure out how to find the killer in the real world and keep the ones she loves safe while they sleep.

Book Excerpt
I
was in some sort of maze. Gray, cracked, stonewalls surrounded me. I
was outside and the sky was dreary. Why couldn’t I find someone
with happy dreams? I mean, really are all people’s psyche’s this
messed up?
I
felt the pull for me to move to my left. I stood my ground unwilling
to follow the pull. I wanted the dreamer to stop moving. But the more
I stood there, I began to feel my skin itch. I gave in and wandered
around the maze.
“Nick?”
He didn’t appear after a few minutes. “Nick?” But I got
nothing.
I
continued to wander. I didn’t have a problem until I cam to a dead
end and the dreamer kept moving. I tried to back track, fighting
against the pull, but the maze was harder to maneuver of my own free
will. My skin itched and pulled and pinched. I began to run, trying
to make up the distance.
“Nick!”
I needed Nick to get me out of here. “Nick!”
The
pull continued attack my skin. I felt a rain drop on my upper lip.
Great, it was going to rain now I thought. I ran more and more and
felt another drop. I touched my lip and looked at my finger.
Blood.
I stopped in my tracks. I touched my nose and found more blood on my hand. This wasn’t happening. It was not real. I was not actually bleeding. It was a dream. But the pull started again. I moved. I ran fast.

I
came to a dead end almost with each turn. I could feel the blood drip
out of my nose like a leaky faucet. I wanted to scale the walls. I
wanted to get the dreamer to just stop moving, to make this feeling
stop.
“Nick!
Please!”
He was nowhere.
He was nowhere.
I
needed to wake up.
About
the Author:
I
teach middle school English in a small town so I try and stay up on
all things YA, and secretly thrilled I have this excuse to read this
genre all the time. I am a mom and teacher, so writing is a passion
that I try to squeeze in. I have a new contemporary in the works
(well - I started it like 6 years ago) and about several in the back
of my brain
Some
none reading and writing!
This
year 2013 - I got married and had a baby! She's beautiful.
I
am an avid dog lover. If there is a dog in my vicinity, I will be on
the ground playing, petting, and loving. I cannot resist! I have a
collie (Lady Fergilious aka Fergie) and an Italian mastiff (Mia). And
I think we might be toying with the idea of a third one... secretly
hoping for a St. Bernard.
I
was a dancer for 16 years so I am always fascinated by it: music,
style, rythum, costume, everything! Music is also a big aspect of my
life, you wont walk into my house without music playing in some room!
