Snooze or Lose

When the Yule celebrations are at stake, listening to old adages could prove catastrophic…

Susan has had enough. The girl whose best friend, the semi-god of ice Dax, affectionately calls “Snooze”, has added insomnia to her narcolepsy since her mom, the legendary Pretty Sleeper, has gone missing. To make matters worse, Dreamland is collapsing into chaos following the disappearance of the god of sleep M’Orfeo, and winter threatens to engulf Ze World when Pappy Winter gets cursed with a sleeping potion. Coincidence? No way!

As Dax attempts to control the weather in their reality, Susan snoozes to the dream plane to reconcile with her true self.

Can the two teenagers overcome their fears and their lineage’s issues to save the day?

Snooze or Lose is a sweet coming-of-age fantasy novelette and the second book in the Gods of Ze World series.
