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
Rat
Excerpt:
The
Rat
Mike knocked on the door before I had time to leave
the house. Mike was the guy I thought (at the time) was perfect.
“Who is it?”
“It’s me, baby.”
Baby, urgh — I wasn’t his baby. I dated Mike because he was the quarterback, because girls
are supposed to like the quarterback,
because it’s just so darn perfect to
be seen with the quarterback, like we’re brainwashed into thinking these things
from the first romantic doll set mom buys us.
This was my previous life.
“Mike.”
“Uh-huh. Gonna let me in?”
So you
can try rub me up and then complain when I don’t let you? This,
dear reader, was the big problem with Mike. The second we first kissed, his
hand went way too far south for me to
be comfortable — and I pulled back.
Mike suddenly wasn’t so perfect.
“Uhm, I was just on my way out,” I said.
“Kira? C’mon, open the door.” He sounded upset. “Is
there someone in there with you?”
Boys. As if.
I didn’t know much about love (nothing, actually) but I knew this wasn’t it.
“Uhm, now’s not the time, Mike.”
“C’mon, Kira, what’s going on?” He banged harder.
When in doubt...lie. I opened the door a crack.
“There’s a dead rat in the house, Mike. Been here for days. I gotta go get some
detergent and stuff to handle the stench.”
Mike stepped back. He peered through the crack of the
door.
“It’s really bad,” I said.
“I’ll drive you.”
“I’m afraid the smell” — I stuck my armpit to my nose
— “has found its way all over me.
I’ll drive myself.”
“O — okay. Fine.” And then he grinned like he wanted
something. “Later? My place?”
Urgh. “Uhm,
sure...er...later. Not sure when though.”
“Six.”
I fought the urge to roll my eyes. According to girls
at school, he was apparently so damn good looking — theoretically. But for me
personally, he did nothing. Moved nothing. Twisted nothing. “Look, I gotta go, Mike. I gotta — ”
“Kira.” His eyes grew stern. “You’ve been avoiding
me...”
Bingo! Well done contestant number one! And what have
you won? A brain!
I tilted my head. “Mike, look, this...rat — I need to deal with it. We’ll talk
later, okay? Bye.” I closed the door, not waiting for an answer, and peered out
the peep hole. Mike hung around for a second, shoulders wide and eyes glaring
straight at me through the door. Could he see me? Did he know I was looking at
him?
He kicked something off the ground, and I had the
distinct impression he mouthed the word Bitch
before leaving. But I wasn’t sure...

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 Blood
is 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.
