When Death Steps In...

Chicks Dig Scars

International Bestselling Author

@KathleenGrieve

When death steps in...

Committed and compassionate intensive care nurse, Rachel O'Dea will do anything to save her patients. But when she loses a kind and loving man whom she forged a fatherly relationship with, Rachel unravels.

...or so everyone thinks.

The calm and soothing voices Rachel hears and the apparitions she sees are of the deceased man and his late wife as they navigate and persuade her to make important choices in her life, leading her right where she's supposed to be.

Free clinic doctor, Devon Jameson, needs more hands on deck. He can't possibly handle all the medical cases alone. When Rachel walks in, volunteering her services, he knows he has no choice other than to take her on board as she proves her worth when a pediatric trauma is left on his doorstep and there’s no one else to assist. As the two begin working together, their lives intertwine and the attraction intensifies. Scarred deeply by their past and their pain, Rachel and Devon begin a future only angels could predict. 

Rachel walked over to the young Latino woman and waited for her to open the glass before speaking. “Hi, I’m here to see Dr. Jameson.”

“The doctor is busy,” she said pushing a clipboard forward. “Fill this out and I’ll call your name when it’s your turn,” she said in heavily accented English, and turned her attention back to her nails.

“Sorry, no,” Rachel said. “You misunderstand.” She glanced at the woman’s nametag. “Maria, I’m not here for an appointment. I’m, er, a friend of Dr. Jameson’s.” The lie poured off her tongue and she gripped the shoulder strap of her purse praying she wouldn’t be sent away.

Maria’s hand stilled and she lifted a brow. “The doctor has no friends.” The clinic’s phone began to ring, but she ignored it.

Gee, I wonder why almost spilled from Rachel’s mouth but she caught herself just in time. Not for the first time she wondered how Seamus had spawned the devil himself.

“Maria,” Devon’s harsh voice yelled out. “Answer that damn phone already.”

“I’m busy,” Maria replied sweetly, loud enough to be heard in the back. She glanced at Rachel. A sly smile curved her lips. “Talking to your friend.”

“I don’t have any friends,” he said coming around the corner.

“See?” Maria said with a careless shrug, going back to her nails once more. “I told you.”

Awesome. Just fucking awesome. Rachel wanted to crawl under a rock and die. Get lost in the Sahara Desert with no water in 150 degree heat. Or be left in shark-infested waters with no life raft. Be anywhere but here. You owe me, Seamus.

“What the hell are you doing here?” he demanded.

“I… ah,” Rachel cleared her throat. Fuck my life. Why had she let Seamus talk her into this again? Oh yes. He didn’t want his body in a cold steel box. If what the ghost had said was true and he wasn’t just her overactive imagination playing tricks on her. Damn it. Devon was going to see reason. She steeled her shoulders and lifted her chin. “I need to talk to you.” She glanced at Maria. “In private,” she added.

“You knock her up or something, Doc? Cuz there’s only one reason a woman comes in here looking that way. Like she’s going to tell you about the little bun in her oven.”

“What? No!” Rachel and Devon said in unison.

The horror Rachel felt must’ve been written all over her face, because Devon scowled and Maria just laughed. Heat flamed Rachel’s cheeks.

“You get five minutes,” he said harshly and turned on his heal.

Maria motioned with her nail file. “Go through that door, chica. Turn left and you’ll find the doctor. Good luck,” she said with a wink. “I hope it’s a girl. Another boy with that man’s temper? No bueno.” She tsked.

Hi, I’m Kathleen and I’m going to be your nurse tonight. How are you feeling—Oh! Oops! Wrong job, LOL.  I really do need to remember to try and delete “Oops” from my vocabulary. Doesn’t really inspire confidence in a patient when that word pops out of my mouth—which is way too often. J I am so very happy to be here. Thank you for the invitation to get out of my scrubs and chill for a bit.

How long have you been a writer and how did you come to writing?

I was first published back in 2008, but I’ve always written stories.

How did you come up with this storyline?    

Ha! I was just talking about this tonight at work. I’d actually started this manuscript back in 2007 and shelved it. The idea had originally came on a night where one of my patients had passed away. I can’t remember if we had coded him or if it was a case where we withdrew care.

When a patient dies, we remove all the invasive lines and tubes, bathe the body, put glasses and dentures in place and then bag the body for the morgue. I don’t know if anyone has ever seen a dead body up close—and I’m not talking about a viewing in a mortuary where the person looks like they’re sleeping.

Well on this particular night as I was going about doing post mortem care and my mind started with the “what if” questions. I couldn’t get the patient’s mouth to close around his dentures and they kept sliding out. So then I’m wondering What if he is standing beside me as I’m doing this watching me and shaking his head at my failure to get the dentures in place properly? What if I could actually see and talk to him and he gave me advice? What if I saw his ghost and just freaked the F—ck out? LOL

What are the best and the worst aspects of writing?

Some of the best aspects of writing is all the really great friendships I’ve made over the years. I’ve learned so much and have grown tremendously as a writer thanks to the support of the writing community and am so grateful.

The worst aspect… probably all of the promotional work that goes into a book release. Trying to get the word spread about your book is really hard. There are so many great authors out there and standing up and shouting to the world “Read Mine!!!” seems a bit ridiculous. LOL But I’m learning…

What inspires you to write?

Working critical care can be extremely depressing. Helping people who suffer with horrendous illnesses or have been involved in tragic accidents can chip away at a person’s spirit. I love happily ever afters—who doesn’t? Writing is a wonderful escape for me.

How did you conduct your research for Chicks Dig Scars?

I’ve been a nurse for 23 years, so you can say I’ve been “researching” all of my adult life!

What are 3 of your favorite quotes from Chicks Dig Scars?

Maybe this whole I’m your dead patient and I’m going to haunt you thing is growing on me.

“Christ, I’m losing my mind. I’m yelling at a dead man.”

“There’s sex in the afterlife?”

Any more Favorites from Chicks Dig Scars?

Yes! The scene where Devon’s receptionist thinks Rachel is knocked up. See below:

“Go through that door, chica. Turn left and you’ll find the doctor. Good luck,” she said with a wink. “I hope it’s a girl. Another boy with that man’s temper? No bueno.” She tsked.

              “I’m not pregnant!” Rachel insisted.

What would your friends say is your best quality?

That I have a lot of drive...

Are reader reviews important to you? Why?

Important? Hmmm… I do love hearing from readers, but I don’t write for the reviews. I write for me.

What do you do when you don’t write? Like in “Real Life”

Work. I have four kids to get through college. Two are in college and 3^rd kiddo starts in the fall. When I’m off, my husband and I have season baseball and football tickets, go to concerts, I bake—of course—and there’s lots of mandatory education required for my job as a flight nurse.

Tell us about your other books?

 Besides Chicks Dig Scars, I currently have 4 titles available: The first two books of my Dating Series~Dating 911 & Dating Impossible; The Doctor’s Deception; Sex Is The Best Medicine, and Diary of A Naughty Nurse. All of these are contemporary romances with action packed medical drama, humor and

steamy enough to fog your glasses!

Full time nurse, amateur cake baker, writer, and zombie obsessed, Kathleen draws a lot from the real-life medical drama she experiences as a RN for her novels. Writing romance is a creative outlet where she can effectively deal with the daily stress and sorrow, adding levity and humor to situations that provide a happily ever after when there isn't one. She has recently discovered the fantastic world of air ambulance after 20+ years of working critical care in the hospital and relishes her role as a flight nurse!

Shifting Scales by Decadent Kane

International Bestselling Author

Stolen dragon scales, a mob boss, and seductive Siberian male...Nova had her hands full.

Shifting Scales

(Siberian Paradox)
by
Decadent Kane

International Bestselling Author

@DecadentKane 

After Grigori's dragon scales are stolen, he catches a lead in Paradox City. The culprit? A sassy little thing who masquerades as him to make a sale! He might have found that adorable if she hadn't taken his dragon powers too. Intrigued by the female's abilities, Grigori set his sight on claiming what is rightfully his, and in the process, the female just might find her way to her knees.
Nova brokers deals on the black market. She doesn't ask what the products are and she usually doesn't care, not until her brother gets involved with Faceless, a mob boss. Toss in a dragon shifter searching for his stolen scales and Nova finds herself knee deep in trouble. When that sexy dragon barges his way into Nova's life, she refuses to give in to his demands… well, at least she tries to tell herself that. She doesn't expect Grigori to awaken a side of her she'd only ever thought about in the dark of night… an urge to submit she thought she could live without.

Nova sighed and hailed a cab. Crap. Close quarters in a car with—was he a Russian dragon? She wasn’t sure. But he had to be something from a manly culture. The way he’d taken over the scene, like he owned the place. Nothing phased him. But he phased her. The cab pulled up to the curb and she slid in, all the way over to the far side, as far away from him as she could possibly get.

Grigori's form barely fit inside the cab. He managed to make the seat look small and took up so much space she knew she was doomed. Nova looked out the window to avoid staring at him or would it be ogling?

"Where to?" the male driver asked. Grigori growled beside her.

"Take us to the Eclipse restaurant." She didn't look at the driver, but kept watching out the window as buildings passed. They blurred as she tried not to acknowledge the heat coming off the man beside her. She could feel his eyes on her. She wanted to look at him, but refused to allow herself. Instead, she crossed her arms over her chest. Her entire body sat rigid. If she moved, she might bump him, since he took up so much space.

The cab turned onto Fates Bridge. The sun sparkled through the glass, warming the inside of the cab. Nova didn't budge and tried not to breathe deeply. The silence lengthened between them and it was driving her mad. Why didn't he say something? What did she expect him to say? Instead of waiting for him to speak, Nova blurted, "What's the bond you were talking about?"

"Look at me when you speak to me." His accent was heavy.

Nova's heart thundered in her chest so hard she was sure he could hear it with his dragon powers. She took a deep breath, mustering the courage to turn to him. Some part of her knew those eyes would see everything, that they wanted to see everything. Technically, she already asked and didn't need to say something else, so she kept her eyes focused out the window. What if he chose not to answer? Steeling herself, Nova would just have to handle the silence. It was better than being alone in the dark.

The silence stretched out again as they moved farther into the inner parts of Paradox City. She was pretty sure Grigori hadn't stopped staring at her. She shifted her shoulders. His fingers slipped around her chin and moved her head toward him. Surprised by his gentle touch, she didn't stop him. His hard glare met her eyes and she nearly whimpered. But the sound would never escape her lips no matter what he did. Nova swallowed the anxiety—no, not anxiety but excitement. She grabbed his wrist but he didn't let her chin loose. He hadn't hurt her, wasn't causing any pain, but his grip was firm. She could feel the calluses on his hand, the hair on his arm.

"Ask me again." He demanded it of her and want seared through her body like fire.

I'm Decadent Kane and I write paranormal romance with elves, demons, shades, and recently dragons. I started my career on a dare and of course I couldn't turn the dare down, so here I am. The dare was simple: Write a story involving Santas's elves, a spy, and include the sexy heat. Who could pass this up? I took it and ran with it and my elves were born.

How long have you been a writer and how did you come to writing?

I've been writing since I was a kid, most of us have. My family are a creative bunch and mine just comes out in the written word as well as crafting. I've been writing professionally though since 2013.

How did you come up with this storyline?

Shifting Scales story line came from a writing prompt I had done several months ago. It was just 1k words- the start of the story actually- and then when I reread it it seemed like something that would fit into my Siberian paradox series that I wanted to start- so I jumped in feet first and ran with it, and dragons came out!    

       

What are the best and the worst aspects of writing?

The best aspects of writing is when the words just flow…I start a timer and let it all go and pretty soon I have a story and characters have taken over the page. I have to reread it just to see what I wrote and I love that feeling- that inspired happiness of creation.

The worst aspect of writing- in general blurbs and titles…lol professionally I think marketing is a downside to being a professional author as it sucks up a great deal of time for the author, instead of writing.

What inspires you to write?

Many things, pictures, words, my imagination, and sometimes a character wakes me up in the middle of the night.

How did you conduct your research for Shifting Scales?

I started by looking up Siberia, as I needed a starting point for this story because it will be the prequel to the Siberian Paradox series. I went from there, and because Siberia has so much mystery around it- including it's name- it seemed like a wonderful place to create a world of my design. It has such an open ended design that other than some Russian words and cultural stuff, I have free reign.

What is 1 of your favorite quotes from Shifting Scales?

"Ask me again." He demanded it of her and want seared through her body like fire.

What do you do when you don’t write? Like in “Real Life”

I love to craft, I work with clay and create dragons, fairies, and elves.

Thanks for taking the time to get to know a little about me and my new story! I truly hope my readers, and new readers, will enjoy my Siberian dragon Grigori…
