THE DEAD ARE COMING
The dark woods keeps them hidden.
I know that I’m forbidden
From walking this way.
I must get away.
I hear them moving through the trees.
Let me get away from them, please.
The footsteps are louder.
The moon is now rounder.
The end for me and the town is near.
A crystal ball I don’t need to peer.
My head bowed and on bended knee.
This will still not end well for me.

CHECK OUT MY NEW BOOK TRAILER!
Welcome to my blog tour for PREY FOR THE DEAD, the second book in THE DEAD GAME Series. My tour will last ten days and be shared by fellow bloggers. I will supply the links to the participating blogs. I’m excited to tell you about my books and myself!
I have always loved to read. Agatha Christie, Alistair Maclean, Robert Ludlum, and other authors filled my imagination with intrigue and mystery. When I wasn’t reading late into the night, the TV shows–Murder She Wrote and Columbo–entertained me with tales of murder and suspense.
Over the years, my taste in books and shows expanded to encompass fantasy and the supernatural. I wanted to read a book with romance, mystery, and fantasy. A combination I couldn’t find at the library or bookstores. I decided I would write it.
After a career and an M.B.A. in finance, I wrote my book. The Dead Game is the first book in The Dead Game series. It brings fantasy and the surreal to the classic murder mystery with dead bodies, suspects, and clues. It offers vampires, vampire derivatives, and a touch of romance to give spice to the mix. Once you read The Dead Game, you will never look at a dead body the same way.
In Book Two, Prey for The Dead, the suspense continues as The Dead use an exclusive club in Disney World and infiltrate the rich and famous. The Dead grow in power, and not even the sun or the swamps of Florida can weaken them. Linda–my main character–and her friends join forces with human vampires or hybrids to defeat the evil forces threatening to control their town.

LAMENT FOR THE DEAD
Like a cold witches’ brew.
An Oasis for all.
Now a hell for the few,
Who remain to tell all.
Warm winds turn cold
As all become prey.
The young and old.
For them, we must pray.
Hell hath no fury
Like a demon scorned.
There is no jury
For a small town mourned.
Who will save Oasis
From ‘The Dead’ demons?
Who will now face us,
More dead or demons?
Pray for us.
We are alone
Come save us.
We must atone.

Darkness brings a pall to the streets.
A dread that can be felt by all.
It follows me with soft footsteps.
Growing closer behind me with each step.
I should have listened to my heart’s song.
Listened to reason and right from wrong.
I’m now trapped in this horror of despair.
Waiting for death to take me in his arms.
The shadows are growing larger.
Surrounding me from all sides.
There’s nowhere to run or hide.
I will stand strong against the tide.
The coldness wraps around me.
My hair drips icicles down my neck.
I shiver in dread of my future.
My future as queen of The Dead.
by Daryl Feril
Save me.
Save me from my demons.
My nightmares.
My actions.
Save me from me.
Pray for the victims.
Pray for the town.
But don’t forget
to pray for The Dead.
They return to Oasis.
No one will be safe
from their wrath.
Hold onto your faith.
Seek shelter from the storm.
For the demons of hell
will soon rise.
Trust no one.
Not your friends
nor loved ones.
Hell will open its doors
and release its worst.

BOOK TWO WILL BE RELEASED SOON
