Melanie Truss had once been a star athlete, now a popular tennis instructor, but life is about to change even more for her thanks to a group known as S.M.U.T. And when a guy gets talked into driving some sorority girls to an old petting farm, they all find themselves becoming animals and enjoying it thanks to the truth that there are more than just werewolves out there to watch out for!<\/p>\n<p><strong>This Selfies includes:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Stress Management Using Tennis:<\/strong> Melanie Truss was a talent on the court, ready to go pro and be quite the success. A simple injury changed all that and these days she manages life and stress the same way&#8230; using tennis. But something is making life trashier, changing her friends and students&#8230; and Melanie suspects it has everything to do with the new trash bins, the trucks picking them up.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What to Wear, What to WERE:<\/strong> Wanting to win a sorority bikini costume contest with her friends Bianca and Carissa, Bailey has the perfect solution. They can only wear bikinis but need to be convincing of their chosen animal costumes through behavior, so why not observe the real animals? Bailey and her friends may have a lot more to worry about than what to wear this Halloween.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.smashwords.com\/books\/view\/1137755\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Find it on Smashwords now!<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/B0B86J8QNQ\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Now On Amazon!<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Summer is right around the corner so the seasons are changing, but you haven\u2019t seen change until you\u2019ve taken this month\u2019s Selfies!
