Ask Grace

Grace Everly might be a lot of things; like a podcaster, K-popster, sort-of-popular girl at Richmond Hill High in southern Georgia. But let's get one thing straight. She is NOT friends with Gloria Sanchez, her next door neighbor. So when Gloria goes missing, and the only clue leads back to Grace, tensions run high! Especially since the police can't get it through their thick skulls that Grace had nothing to do with Gloria's disappearance.

Then Seth, Grace's boyfriend, goes missing, putting an even bigger target on her, and she starts experiencing stress-induced flashbacks of a kidnapping scene right out of some campy horror flick. The kind her and her friends spoof on their weekly podcast, What's in the Woods?

Confused and angry aren't a great mix of emotions-but they fuel Grace into unlocking her memories, while boxing at her dad's gym. Armed with new clues, Grace and her friends race against time to find Gloria and Seth before the rotten-faced man from her memories turns Richmond Hill into a real-life horror movie. One they can't spoof on their podcast.

S.E. Reed is an award-winning multi-genre author. She grew up in the Pacific Northwest, but longed to see the rest of America. After living in all five regions, she finally settled in Florida-nestled between the swampy Everglades and Atlantic Ocean. Many of her stories have a strong contemporary southern theme, but she also dabbles in the strange, bizarre, and fantastical. As a busy wife and mom of three, S.E. enjoys being a member of the 5am writer's club, when the house is still dark and quiet. Unless her little dog is pestering her for a sip of coffee and a biscuit. S.E. is obsessed with electronic music (she loves reminding her kids she was a DJ in college) so she's always wearing headphones while she writes. You can find S.E.
