First in the Art of the Dead Series

Evil Comes Alive When She Paints With Ashes of the Dead.

A dead serial killer's spirit longs to kill again and an artist's canvas becomes its portal. It all started innocently enough when New Orleans painter Kira McGovern mixed some of her mother's cremated ashes into her oil paints. Entering an altered state, she channeled key moments of her mother's life into a breathtaking memorial work of art. Her new business, Canvas of Life, was begun, and commissions rolled in.

But things get strange when Kira meets Sean Easton, a Midwestern rancher, hiding a secret of his own. Both are unprepared for the horrific terrors that emerge with every brush stroke from an unexpected new commission. Even as the pair fall for each other, the evil in the painting grows more malevolent. Soon, the awakened entity isn't satisfied to just flood Kira's dreams with blood and murder. It wants her as its next victim. Can Kira and Sean unmask the horror—and stop Kira becoming its next possession—before it's too late?

A fascinating blend of TV's Supernatural with a touch of paranormal romance, A Brush with Death's dab of Stephen King-like creepiness will keep you up reading long into the night.

Follow Kira's and Sean's mysterious brushes with supernatural evil in the next book in the series, A Brush with Fire.
