~ Kira Sutherland ~

After a near fatal accident (and getting cheated on by her 'boyfriend'), and beating up the lead cheerleader (with whom the boyfriend cheated...), and being labeled as having 'issues' in her school because she, uhm, sees ghosts, Kira is left with two choices:
1. Continue her 'therapy' (where she's told the ghost is a hallucination and also gets her legs ogled too often...)
Or
2. Go to Starkfield Academy, a boarding school for "Crazies and Convicts" (as the social media sites call them.)
She chooses the latter...

~ Cory Rand ~

Cory Rand has not had an easy life. His mother died in a car accident when he was twelve, and so did his mother's best friend...sort of. You see, Janice made a promise to take care of Cory just before she died, and so she lingers. Undead. A ghost that watches out for him.
Brought up in an abusive home, Cory quickly falls into a life of disreputable behavior. After his third offense (which was prompted by a girl, as usual - he has a weakness) he's left with two choices:
1. Be tried as an adult and share a cell with a guy named Bubba (he thinks...)
Or
2. Go to Starkfield Academy, which Cory is pretty sure is run by vampires. But, hey, at least he'll get an education.
He chooses the latter...
It's at Starkfield that Kira meets Cory Rand, a boy with an insatiable Rage who sees ghosts, too. As well as other things, other things from his past, things that confuse him, things like fire and witches and demons.
Things he's always ignored.
Until now.

The Mack“Roll down the window, Jack.” Jack was recently dead, so he still had a smell about him. (Which only I couldsmell...)I had purposely skipped breakfast. Maybe Jack would help me lose weight. Iwas (still am) a little wide, although it had never stopped guys flirting with me. I know how todress.But I could beskinnier.Lucy Rogers was skinny. All bones and noboobs.Charlene Carverton was a babe. Cheerleader. Big chest (which she pushed out generously with a push-up — if only guys knew). Toned thighs. Charlene onlydated college boys (back then), which I still think is pretty gross for a girl herage.“He’s not for you,” Jack said out theblue. “Hmm?”“This...Mike — he’s wrong for you, Miss Kira.” For all Jack’s faults (mainly, being dead), he has a good heart. Factually, probably it’s why I kept him aroundat first.“You think I don’t know that?” “Then why don’t you dumphim?”I braked at a stop sign. Looked left and right. “Because I’d look like an idiot. I flirted with him and showed interest, and one kiss later I can’t stand the sight ofhim.”“So dumphim.”“It’s not that simple. Kids at school — they can be vicious. I have to let it fade slowly. If I drop the bomb on him, I’ll never hear the end of it through senioryear.”“And youcare?”Yes, I did. Forget Guantanamo, schools are rough. “You don’t understand,Jack.Maybe school was different in your day. But in mine, well, we walk throughmetal detectors.”“Schools weren’t too different in my day.” I noted the sadness in hisvoice. “Youokay?”“I’mdead.”Right. “You miss...yourlife?”Jack shrugged. “I like being with you, Miss Kira. And I don’t remember muchof my life. I think I’m inlimbo.”“Limbo?”“Yes, like I have some unfinished business. If only I couldremember...what...it is...” He scratched hishead.“Anyideas?”“Well, it can’t be love. If it were love, I’d be a vampire. That’s who teenagegirls fall in love with thesedays.”“A vampire? That’s just what I need — two undead beings stalkingme.”“I feel I have something to do around you, Miss Kira. I don’t know what,but something. Somethingimportant.”I looked over at him.“Me?”I was still looking at him when I missed the stopsign. The Mack truck drove straight intous.

Author Bio

R P Channing started writing three years ago, but never published anything even after churning out over a million words of fiction. Thirst: Blood of my Bloodis the first book he dared to publish. When asked why, he said, “Because it’s the first thing I wrote that my wife actually enjoyed reading.” When not hammering away (most literally) at his keyboard, he can be found buried in a book, reading anything from romance to horror to young adult to non-fiction to comedy.
