Escape The Deep

2020

I was innocent, and they called me a monster. Maybe a monster is exactly what the earth needs. ​ My name is Sara Slick, and I was an average teenager. I worked hard. Followed the rules. Took care of my family. But normal dissolved the night that the hidden world of The Far showed up to accuse my dad of heinous crimes against the magical community. To protect the ones I loved, I took the blame and the sentence of ten lifetimes in The Deep. No human had ever been sent to this paranormal prison. They didn’t think I’d last the night. They couldn’t have been more wrong. I survived by becoming the kind of human the magical world feared. Now, a decade later, I need to escape from hell before the home I sacrificed everything for meets its end at the hands of a maniacal, master wizard and his army of fanatics. What’s one army against the heinous Sara Slick?

Kill the Wild

2020

A dead body. A strange cult. A terrified people. Sounds like the perfect place for the Heinous Sara Slick. OK, so I escaped from magical prison, saved my home town, made some friends, and managed not to die in the process. Not too bad for the Heinous Sara Slick. But now what? Hobbes, mastermind of all things evil, has gone into hiding, and all my leads have dried up. With the Philosopher’s Guild hot on my tail, the smart choice would be to lay low, bide my time, and take things easy. Or, I could investigate a brutal murder deep in the woods of rural Apalachia. Dead bodies keep turning up outside a small secluded community. And these bodies look weird. Like, giving-off-major-Farsider-vibes weird. So, of course Ally and I are going to investigate. Who doesn’t love a road trip? The trick is solving these murders before getting my friend killed in the process. I can deal with Farsiders, but sometimes there are worse things than monsters living in the wild.

The good news is I have a new ally. The bad news is, it is one of my many sworn enemies. But beggars can’t be choosers, and I’ll need all the help I can get if I’m going to pull off my most dangerous mission yet. I have to Invade the Heights. Unfortunately, invading the heights will be the easiest thing I do today. Invade the Heights is the exciting conclusion to the Heinous Crimes of Sara Slick.
