Book Description:
Ollie Dormier's tattoos are
deadly. She is a Scrivener—an employee for Death—and her skull tattoos mark her
clients for their demise. She does her job, and she stays out of trouble. But
when her hands start to burn hot and fierce, and her control goes leaping out
the window, all hell breaks loose. Ollie is showing the early signs of being a
Master...demonstrating power that is forbidden.
That power is exactly what Reaper
Brent Hume is counting on. A hot, scruffy rebel, who does marvelous and
terrifying things to Ollie's insides. Now he needs Ollie's help—and her
skills—to overthrow the evil and corrupt Head Reaper. That is, if he can figure
out a way to keep this hot-handed girl cool...and keep his hands off.

Bonjour! This is Ollie, the protagonist in Abigail’s debut paranormal romance, The Reaper’s Kiss. Abigail—or Abby as I prefer to call her—was asked to write a post on her writing process. Seeing as her writing process is dictated by Yours Truly, I thought it would be more interesting to tell you how I get her motivated to put her fingers to the keyboard. Abby doesn’t mind, of course. Or if she does, she didn’t put up a protest. She knows better.
First of all, I chose Abby to write my story because she was the first to pick up on my super-sonic brainwaves. Poor thing.
Once I got her attention, I screamed in her ear every second of every day. Easy-peasy, right?
Well, it wasn’t. According to her boyfriend, Abby is stubborn and known to dawdle. So, I went for a more aggressive approach like dancing the running man dance on her bed in the middle of the night.
I’m paranormal. I can dance running man for days. Non-stop.
The good news is that Abby came around and agreed to write my story. Our professional relationship was bliss from here on out. Well, maybe not for her. But for me, I had accomplished a major feat, so I made sure to celebrate with cool flair.
But once Abby started writing my story, it didn’t flow in one week of manic typing. She went through several rewrites after she got notes from her beta readers, her agent, and her editor. I was worried that some of the best parts of my story would get cut. I made sure to tell her this concern at every possible moment. When that didn’t work, I used force.
Ultimately, The Reaper’s Kiss tells my story precisely as I told it to her, with a few minor embellishments. I mean, I do have striking green eyes and a fearless nature, but I am really not that bad at the game of Checkers and I don’t cheat at board games.
So that’s how I got Abigail Baker to tell my story for the world to read. It was a campaign of relentless willpower. And I won. I always win.
Thank you to Dana for this guest post today. It is an honor and pleasure!
Au Revoir,
