The meanest teen queen in high school might be the world's only chance against killer plants run amok!

Camellia Dume is the meanest teen queen in her Malibu high school, a rich daddy's girl thanks to her father's elaborate scams. But she might be the only hero for humanity as an extraterrestrial mutation sends plants tearing across the country and through people in bloody fashion. As if that weren't enough drama, Camellia just might meet her own personal match or worst enemy, in the new student Wray, as sparks fly and opposites attract. Only by working together can they uproot a deadly conspiracy that may have torn Camellia's family apart.

Think HEATHERS meets MEAN GIRLS meets DAY OF THE TRIFFIDS and THE THING: gory, horrific, but hilariously so. Perfect for fans of Grady Hendrix.

A missing research team is found dead in the Atacama Desert under mysterious circumstances. Far away in Eastern Tennessee, Appalachian researcher Fiona Hawthorne reels from the death of her best friend, Alva, among the Atacama team. When Fiona's university professor, Dr. Bingham, is visited by members of a shadowy corporation, she begins to suspect not everything is as it seems. Enlisting her intense coworker Lafe Lambert, the two dig deep looking for answers in Alva's death ... too deep.

Fiona soon realizes that she not only faces sinister corporate agents, but also a monster hiding in plain sight.

The book is available as a hardcover, trade paperback, and eBook, and will release as an audiobook later this year.
