The Ghost and the Author

Dan Grier is a serious writer. At least that's what he thought until his debut book tanked. It seems the critics loved it, but, alas, no one thought enough of it to actually buy it. Desperate for money, he turns to the serious writer's version of hell on earth—writing pulp fiction.
With little or no support from his agent or editor, he resigns himself to his fate as a hack writer. But then he's visited by a—ghost? A Muse? Whatever she is, the young feisty Irish woman, born in the seventeenth century and a writer herself, refuses to let him off so easily.
What ensues is a struggle for the writer's answer to the age-old question: Which is more important, literary merit or money?
