Pierced: PIERCED/ESCAPED - Books 1 and 2 of The Pierced Series

by J.C. Mells

The paperback edition contains Books 1 and 2 - Pierced and Escaped. (the e-book versions are sold separately) This Urban Fantasy/Paranormal Romance features a heavily pierced, cooking-obsessed, slightly disfigured, opioid-addicted heroine of South Asian descent, with more than a few social anxiety disorders. But that's only the beginning... Having recently escaped from a vampire compound where the human that ran it was keeping her captive for almost ten years, Pierce is learning to live life (even if it's on the run), take responsibility for the ten-year-old girl who escaped with her, as well as deal with the constant chatter from the two 1945 film characters living in her head and guiding her at every turn. This action-packed, character-driven book is meant to create a solid foundation for more exciting things to come in future installments!

About the author

I have had every job from an ice cream truck driver to chocolate factory worker to waiting tables in a Las Vegas casino.

I grew up in the Middle East (Abadan, Iran) and Spain (Fuengirola, Costa Del Sol) and finally ended up finishing High School in England (Weymouth, Dorset). I emigrated to the United States in 1990, and returned to school at the ripe old age of 28, where I obtained a BA and then two MA degrees – all in New York, NY. (Hunter College, NYU and Columbia, respectively)

I have traveled extensively, including a 3 month stay in India, but have settled in Las Vegas, NV of all places where I have been living for the last 7 years with my two “babies” Alabama Worley Mells and Persephone Jayne Mells. (Yes, I have been called the Crazy Cat Lady).

Oh, and although I do share a love of Trance music and reality T.V. with my main character, I can’t cook to save my life!
