Reaper by Lisa Compton
About Author Lisa Compton…
Growing up I always wanted to be two things: a writer and a detective! Now I get to be both!
My first experience as a writer came in the fourth grade when my teacher read one of my stories to the class. I’ve been hooked ever since. Growing up with older parents, I spent a lot of time entertaining myself. I passed many days and nights devouring the adventures of Trixie Belden and Nancy Drew, before graduating to Stephen King. Maybe that’s why I love a good “who done it?” with a scare or two along the way. I have lived in San Antonio, Texas for almost thirty years and have adopted it as my own. I love the diversity of this city and its endless supply of ghosts which make it the perfect setting for the Olivia Osborne series. When I’m not writing I can be found with my family and cats – there is always room for more cats.

This is a spotlight on “Reaper” by Lisa Compton
Reaper Blurb
The gloves are off, and Olivia Osborne is back with a vengeance.
Six years after theÂGreat Awakening, Olivia Osborne is done hiding. It is time to emerge from the shadows and lead the gifted to their rightful place. As she struggles to restore order and plant the roots of a new society, old loyalties tighten their grip, ancient enemies stir, and forces hungry for power refuse to wait their turn. The demands of retribution for past mistakes and past losses mount, leading Olivia to a place where she no longer recognizes herself.
With the fate of theÂGiftedÂhanging in the balance, Olivia must decide how much of herself she is willing to sacrifice to build a better world—and whether that world can survive the cost. The future is awakening, and it waits for no one.

I write the scenes I see play out in my head like a storyboard.ÂThe Olivia Osborne SeriesÂis definitely meant for the screen.
ÂAs a writer, I believe the most effective path to horror is dabbling in monsters that already exist in the audience’s belief systems. I hope Dr. Olivia Osborne will challenge your beliefs as well.

An excerpt from Reaper…
A frail woman with long grey hair stood before the hundreds gathered there and proclaimed that Olivia Osborne was the only one who tried to help her lost granddaughter.”You were the only one who understood her. The only one who cared to remember her. We would not be standing here today if it weren’t for you. Our ancestors chose you. They stand beside you as you lead us back into the light. Let us never seek the shadows again. Let us never forget, who and what we are. Thank you for being our voice when no one else heard. Thank you for being the most fearless woman I have ever known. Thank you for remembering Rose.”
Olivia embraced her and whispered the reassurances she needed to hear.
“Rose was defiant, but her captors were many. She was alive when they lit the fire. Hers was not a quiet or peaceful death. The ones who murdered Rose wanted her to be a symbol for all witches. She has become much more than that. She is a reminder that a repeat of history will not be tolerated. We are not the witches of Salem. TheÂGiftedare not the monsters you believe us to be. I have hunted monsters all of my life and I promise you, you have yet to meet a real one. What I ask of you today is to reach for the light. Let us walk together through the twilight and into the sun as equals.”
