Gap Years

by Dayle A. Dermatis

At 15, Quinn Jacoby disappeared from a Victorian B&B in Portland, OR. Three days later, she returned, but nobody believed her story of going down stairs into another world.

Ten years later, Quinn stumbles upon the same house, now empty and rundown. Something compels her to explore it. What she finds will make her question reality—and teach her she has a unique gift that will alter her life.

Tense and compelling, Gap Years is the origin story for Dayle A. Dermatis’s forthcoming Gap Walker trilogy.
