DEAD GIRL WALKING, DEAD GIRL DANCING & DEAD GIRL IN LOVE have been optioned for television. More news as it develops.

The DEAD GIRL trilogy is about a girl who jumps into different bodies while being stalked by dangerous energy-stealing Dark Lifers. She's romanced by a nice guy and a dangerous hot-looking Dark Lifer. And while dealing with out-of-body experiences, she learns about friendship, family and love. 

If you haven't read the trilogy yet, the first chapter is up at
