Paper and String (Mutilated Series)

It's hard to make friends in a small Minnesota town when the most entertainment around is watching the snow fall. Socially awkward Nadia Knight doesn't know how she can live up to the promise she made her brother to make friends before summer when the only people she spends time with are the dead.

Between studying mortuary sciences and going to her best friend's musical gigs, she runs into - literally, with her car - a cute punk rocker named Anthony, although his friends call him Banshee. And he might just be the friend she's been waiting to make...and more.

But Anthony has a secret more fragile than paper and string.

Paper & String is a prequel novella to Mutilate My Heart. It is a back story of characters from MMH and is 16,000 words.
