INTRODUCING MINNETTE MEADOR!!! A GHOST OF A CHANCE!
A Ghost of a Chance!
I'm very proud to say that we have Minnette Meador with us today as a guest author. I was lucky enough to catch her on her blog tour! So grab your coffee, tea or even wine and enjoy Minnette's devine characters!
WOW!
Keenan Swanson is your typical, everyday graphic designer. Well, except for the hundreds of pesky, prank-loving poltergeists that make his life interesting (in a Chinese curse sort of way). He finds his situation precarious yet manageable—until witty, smoking-hot coworker Isabella enters the scene and Keenan decides he wants her all for himself. With a horny succubus who has other ideas, a burly city cop determined to lock Keenan away, and an evil entity who’s hell-bent on using Keenan’s seed to create a living demon, the reluctant psychic realizes he just might not come out of this alive—or with heart intact.

I am so grateful Leanne made room for me on her wonderful blog. Thanks, girl! M:o)
Now how about a sneak peek!
CHAPTER ONE – LIVING WITH STRANGERS
“Isabella, isn’t it?” Keenan hadn’t seen a ring on her finger, around her neck, or a Love John Forever tattoo any place noticeable, so he assumed she was available.
“Right. You’re Keenan. We met the other day.”
“Right.”
Usually he didn’t have problems talking to girls, but now it was harder than it had ever been. A hundred witty comebacks crowded his brain for attention, but not one of them could make it past the lump in his throat. His growing cock wasn’t going to be much help either; all it wanted him to do was blurt out, “Ya wanna?”
Bracing himself against possible rejection, and telling his cock to shut the fuck up, Keenan gathered his courage and charged into the fray. “Say listen, if you’re not…”
The elevator jarred to a halt and the doors burst open in front of them. At least fifteen people piled into the box, disregarding the “maximum occupancy” sign.
Keenan hit his back hard against the railing and suddenly found his arms full of warm, healthy girl.
The sounds around him came to a crashing halt when he fixated on those gorgeous almond eyes and full red lips. The urge to devour that mouth was irresistible. He felt like he was home. Her balmy scent marinated his brain, clouding out everything else. The velvet skin of her naked arms made his palms tingle.
A sudden terror seized him when he realized his rod stood at full attention, shouting, “Yippee!” Since the crowd had crushed Isabella against him, she must have felt it jumping like an excited dog against her stomach. To Keenan’s amazement, she didn’t say a word and smiled sweetly up at him. Her expression was almost pleased. It boggled his mind.
“Sorry,” he managed after a few precious seconds.
He let go and fully expected her to scrunch as far away from him as possible, a murmured “pervert” escaping her lips. Instead, she slid up next to him and stayed attached to his shoulder, turning her lovely breasts to the doors.
Keenan had a hard time keeping his eyes off them, noting with interest that both nipples were little rocks against the black fabric. He forced himself to focus on the bald spot on the head of the guy in front of him. He hoped to God the man wasn’t pushed back; in Keenan’s current state, it might be difficult to explain what rested against the man’s ass.

Comments
I love your character descriptions! Providing them explains your book more and entices us to read your story. That's very clever of you!!!
By the way, did you pay for the stock photos? How did you go about getting them? They seem to capture the essence of your characters.
Ghost story...Well, My grandpa and I were really close. He gave me an alarm clock/radio shortly before he passed away. It would turn on randomly and scare the heck out of my husband.SOO much so he made me box it up and put it in the attic. I use to just say "Grandpa is saying hello" :)
I look forward to reading 'A Ghost of a Chance' and the rest of your blog hop :)
Leanne, love your blog and YOU ROCK for supporting L.A. Banks Auction..hope everyone will go and support her, also :)

I like your blog Leanne, signed up as a new follower.
You are so kind, Deena - Thank you!
Thanks, Shadow!
I agree, daydmzzz... Leanne's blog is gorgeous just like her :o)
SiNn - Thank you... I love to tease people! LOL
Thanks, Kym - Now that's weird... My grandmother gave me an alarm clock that did the same thing for about the first two weeks I had it, then it stopped. Spooky! Can you give us a link for the LA Banks Auction?
Hi, SK - Agreed... It was the closest I could find with what I had. It is shameful how few stock photos there are of African Americans! I'll see else I can come up with later... :o)
Hi, Vonnie - Yes, I bought them from 123RoyaltyFree - They cost about a $1 each and this site has a huge selection. I didn't like the one for Constance, but it was the closest they could get me.
Thanks all for the compliments, I really really appreciate it :)
Leanne
