If you want it to stay buried, bury it deep
Dirty Girl
A Friday the 13th Story, Series #7
by Alicia Dean
Genre: Horror
A tragic accident…
A fateful decision…
A horrific weekend they won’t soon forget…
Everet Holcomb is cheating with his sister-in-law, Blair, and the two sneak off
for an illicit out of town getaway. While driving down a dark country road,
they hit something and are horrified to discover they've killed a young woman.
Panicked, they bury the body instead of calling the police, knowing if their
spouses learn of their affair, they’ll lose everything.
When Everet’s son brings his new girlfriend home for his college graduation
celebration, they notice that something about her seems…off. The odor of dirt
emanates from her, but Everet and Blair are the only ones who can smell it. And
when Everet almost chokes to death for no apparent reason, they start to
wonder…have their misdeeds come back to haunt them?

Author Alicia Dean hails from Oklahoma, where the wind comes
sweeping down the plain, (sometimes gusting and twisting and ravaging down the
plain...) She is from Moore, affectionately known as Tornado Alley, but now
lives in Edmond.
She's always wanted to be a writer and wrote her first
romance at the ripe old age of ten. She still has the tattered, pencil-written
copy of 'Just Pretend,' titled after one of her favorite Elvis Presley songs
and featuring a hero who looks JUST like Elvis. (Have you guessed, she's an
Elvis fan?)
Other than reading and writing, her passions are Elvis
Presley, MLB, NFL (she usually works in a mention of one or all three into her
stories) and watching (or rewatching) her favorite televisions shows like
Dexter, Vampire Diaries, Justified, and Breaking Bad. Some of her favorite
authors are Michael Connelly, Dennis Lehane, Lee Child, Lisa Gardner, Ridley
Pearson, and Jonathan Kellerman...to name a few.
