I am Seraphine LaLande, VooDoo Priestess! Well, not quite. In order to be a priestess I have to first successfully raise a zombie, make it do my bidding, and then tuck it back in for the eternal dirt nap it was supposed to have to begin with. Of course, being me, things don’t go according to plan. The trouble all started when my zombie ran off into the night... This is a short story, the first in a series of young adult, fantasy short stories entitled, The VooDoo Follies!

The Infection: The VooDoo Follies - Part Two I am Seraphine LaLande, and I have a zombie to find and put to rest. The only problem is I have no clue where the dead bum took off to. Finding him is not proving as easy as I had hoped and to make matters worse, I am grounded for having a boy in my bedroom! Stephen was my only hope for tracking down this zombie, but now I wonder if the price we had to pay was worth it. The secret Stephen revealed to me, well let's just say, it's hard to know how I feel now!

Part Three of The VooDoo Follies I am Seraphine LaLande, voodoo priestess in training, and last week I avoided the zombie apocolypse with my friend's help. Now I just have to figure out what to do about Stephen, his condition, and my growing feelings for him. Things appeared to be getting back to normal until I ran into my principal at school, literally, and met the new guy. A couple weeks ago I was invisible to everyone, now both the dead and the living were suddenly interested in me...

The VooDoo Part Four I am Seraphine LaLande, voodoo priestess in training... Fat lot of good that does me when my best friend, who happens to be dead, is nowhere to be found; the living boy of my dreams is now my number one tormentor; and now there's a witch who wants to meddle in my love life. One stupid spell really can't be all that bad can it? \*This is a six-part, young adult, paranormal fantasy, short story series.

The VooDoo Part Five I am Seraphine LaLande, voodoo priestess in training, and every day I wonder what good my voodoo does for me when I'm afraid to use it. Between the zombies and the Unknown Spirits, Voodoo has definitely given me an adventurous life, a little too adventurous. As usual though, just when every thing seems to be coming together for me, I get tossed right back in the middle of something even scarier than before. Now, I have to help my friend, Tina. That witch cast a spell that's put us all in danger. And did I mention the vampire? No? Well, guess who has to get us out of this mess? Yep, yours truly - and this time it definitely wasn't my fault! This is part 5 of a 6 part young adult, paranormal, fantasy, short story, series.

The VooDoo Part Six I am Seraphine LaLande, and I am no longer in training. My ceremony is set. I will ascend to the ranks of Voodoo Priestess,, and then I will help one of the boys I love gain a body while allowing the other to shed his completely. My heart is still torn between Stephen and Trevor. The Voodoo ritual that will set them both free is also a constant in my thoughts. If I mess this one up, there won't be any going back. I could lose them both, forever. I could lose them anyway, thanks to my meddling in the affairs of a vampire. Now, he's hell bent on destroying the one thing that will make this ritual go off without a hitch. All I keep thinking is, 'how will I live with myself if this doesn't work?' Maybe the better question would have been, what happens if I don't live through this?
