A Visit from Kerri Cuevas

Deadly Kisses, Book 1 (WiDo Publishing, 2013) Summary:

Aiden Grant has a killer kiss. Literally. And it’s not every reaper who gets to work with the Sixteenth President. Sure, Honest Abe likes to throw out history lessons with reaping assignments, but when you’re favored by the ancients, grim reaper life is pretty sweet for a newly dead seventeen-year-old.

Then things get messy.

Aiden is assigned to reap the soul of Bee, the only girl he has ever loved. When Aiden’s kiss of death fails, intertwining their souls, she is still very much alive and they are both in trouble. The ancients want Bee, who has special powers of her own, and they’ll do anything to get her.

Some rules are meant to be broken, even if that means Aiden must bargain with his own soul to save Bee. Who knew the afterlife could get so complicated?

A Secret about Deadly Kisses

Kerri here, and I’m revealing a secret from the original Deadly Kisses story—you know, the one that I just unburied from the backyard. *grins*

So way back, when I was finding my way into the publishing world each chapter of the story had a quote, and also their own page. Imagine the publishers eyes pop when they received my very large stack of papers in the mail. LOL! Well, the quotes got nixed because I realized how unnecessary they really were. But darn it, I love quotes! Here is my chance to share some of them with you. Enjoy!

About the Author:

Kerri Cuevas was born and raised in Rhode Island. She moved to New Hampshire with her husband, three kids, cats and a rabbit named Hercules in 2005. When she's not writing, she's chasing chickens on her small farm or searching for the ultimate mac-a-cheese recipe.
