"Perhaps Dana was writing for the
teenage audience, but she manages to capture us all in her timeless novel
The Mask of Tamirella. She writes about life in a post-apocalyptic world
that is a clear and present danger in today's society and it is a very good
read." Barbara Patterson, KFHX Radio, Mornings with Barb

About THE
MASK OF TAMIRELLA:
Sixteen-year-old Caitlanna Mullen
lives in a harsh world where technology no longer exists. In her
post-apocalyptic society, she salvages priceless artifacts for trade. One
artifact is especially desired. The Mask of Tamirella. Cait steals the Mask
from another sanction, putting her own at risk. As punishment, the Elders
send her to a hazardous dig. She must travel through a mutant forest without
becoming a sacrifice and into Rotted City, where toxic ruins hoard an
ancient disease. To complicate matters, the man she loves accompanies her
group. Because of their age differences, an intimate relationship with him
is strictly forbidden and would bring severe punishment, perhaps even exile. Cait’s life takes an unexpected turn when she uncovers secrets she never
imagined.
Will this sixteen-year-old
survive in a place where death and injury are daily concerns? Can she quell
her feelings for a man forbidden to touch her until she’s older? Or will her
confrontations with mutants and toxic ruins cause her demise? One thing is
certain: the secrets Caitlanna uncovers will change her world forever.
