[Cinaed]

I need help!
There's a book series and I cannot for the life of me remember the name of it.
There are two girls, in this world, who are friends, and then they get transported to another world. When it happens they are in a car, there's thunder and lightning, and a mans voice.
Then in the alternate world, one of them, Charlie????, becomes a high priced call girl and she has a tattoo of a butterfly all over her face. She becomes very powerful magically and changes the world. The other girl becomes fat, and she winds up living in a swamp or marshy place, where men outnumber women.
in one of the scenes before they are transported, one of the girls gets locked in the mall and winds up starting her period and she steals a pair of jeans.

It was written I think in the early 90's maybe. And kind of the same genre as Mercedes Lackey

Cynthia, please add details of plot and/or genre to your header. Many members only click on a thread if they know what kind of book you are looking for. If you are unable to do this, just ask and a Mod will do it for you.

how do I ask the mod to do this please?

[Lobstergirl, au gratin]

I took care of it.

So is this aimed at adults? Given that call girls are involved. How old are the "girls" - are they grown women?

[Cinaed]

it's not young adult, more standard scifi/ fantasy.
The girls are late teens. If I remember correctly, there are three books in the series.
