A dear friend (I am so sorry I didn't send you the Christmas card, but it turns out I'm not a designer.) Avery Olive, is celebrating her 1st anniversary of her novel, AStiff Kiss! As you will see from the blog below, Avery is one creative person. Blurb: Who knew kissing a corpse would change everything? Death always hits Xylia Morana too close to home, but she likes it that way. She hangs out with the terminally ill, attends random funerals, and every so often, when the weather is right, she sleeps in open graves. But after Landon Phoenix, the high school hottie, dies in Xylia's hands, she sneaks into the morgue to say goodbye. How could she know stealing a kiss from his corpse would wake him up? With Landon returned to the living and suddenly interested in Xylia, life has new meaning. But what Xylia doesn't realize is that by kissing Landon back to life, she's thrown Life and Death off balance. The underworld demands a body, and it might just have to be Xylia's this time. The Super Awesome A Stiff Kiss 1st Anniversary Contest From Avery: My goal is to try and get everyone involved more, while spreading the word about A Stiff Kiss.
