The
Devil’s in the Details by Avery Dawes
Blurb:
October 31st is a special night for
Civil War soldiers Oliver Greer and Francis Kirby. Courtesy of a deal with
Lucifer, on that night, they rise from their graves not as ghosts, but as men
with form and substance.
Psychic Annabelle McPherson runs the
most successful ghost tour company in all of Gettysburg. With her ability to
interact with ghosts, her tours are far from dull. Of course, Oliver and
Francis are ready and willing to give her patrons a show -- and a scare they'll
not soon forget.
This Halloween is one to be
remembered. When stopping by to see Annabelle, the guys interrupt a violent
robbery. One of the caveats of having human form is that if they are mortally
wounded, they die.
In their zeal to save Annabelle,
Oliver is shot. Will the three survive the night? Will Francis be stuck on
Earth while Oliver's soul labors in Hell?

Bio:
The secret is out! Avery Dawes is Denise Wyant's
naughty alter ego! Two minds in one body!
While the devil-may-care Avery enjoys the thrill of
writing about the passion between two hunky—and sometimes geeky—men, the more
traditional Denise favors the alpha male who can sweep an intelligent and sassy
lady off her feet. Regardless of which genre they're writing, they both believe
in love and happiness, and in happily ever after—even if their characters have
to run the gauntlet to achieve it.
Whether relaxing with a cup of coffee just south of the
Mason-Dixon Line, or staying fit by running, lifting, or cycling—these two
always make time to write and blog. You
can find them at Rantings of a Closet Vamp Princess (http://denisewyant.wordpress.com).

Excerpt:
Francis'
eyes brightened. "You'd better be giving me more than that!" He
attempted to swat Oliver on the shoulder, but his hand passed right through.
Damn ghost form.
"Mmm...
you know I will. In fact, I'm picturing all the naughty fun we can get
into!" Oliver waggled his eyebrows.
Finally
pulled out of his funk, Francis laughed. "You're such a mess!" He
paused, his forehead furrowed. "Isn't that the saying now? Well, anyway,
let's go find some tourists to scare!"
"Now
that's the best idea I've heard all night. After all, we can't let Annabelle down."
It hadn't taken the guys long to decide that creating chaos wasn't much fun.
They preferred having fun and getting laughs at the expense of others. So far,
they hadn't had a visit from Luc, so either he wasn't paying attention too
closely or he was busy sowing his seeds of distrust elsewhere.
With that
thought, they floated toward downtown and some of the famous historic buildings
they knew Annabelle liked to frequent on her tours. She always enjoyed
"seeing them"--her tips almost doubled on the nights the
soldier-ghosts made a surprise appearance.
Thanks so much for hosting me, Julie!! I hope everyone has a great Halloween---spooky and safe :)
