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 3rd 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.
