I haven’t gotten the chance to read Dead World but do plan to, as Lorie is one of my fave EC authors. Her sequel to Dead World is now out, Shara’s Challenge. Check it out. If you have never read her, I suggest her Lunewulf series and have a review of her Malta series coming up.
Her website is great and will let you read the first chapter of all her books. She has a lil bit of everything from paranormal, contemporary, RS, futuristic and more. Although thinking about it, she doesn’t have any historical novels I can think of, I could be wrong ;).
