Drawing the Dead: An Introduction

I am very excited to announce that my second novel, Drawing the Dead, is almost ready! I have a sample of the print edition in my hands and only a few things remain left to do. I expect the novel to be out sometime in April. So, it’s time to make introductions.

The Blurb

First off, here’s the back cover blurb:

Life and death are not that far apart…

What happens when we die? Viki Dobos knows. Her job is to help people talk to their dearly departed. She draws the deceased, and they come to life on the page… briefly. When a rich Russian man hires her and whisks her away to Hawaii, everything changes. The rich man wants her to do the forbidden, and a handsome man she meets on the beach needs her more than he  knows. Viki will have to confront her past, face her fears, and risk everything to help them.

From the author of A Ghost’s Memoir series (Shuffled Off and To Be A Fool) comes an unforgettable story of life, death, and the strange places in between.

A Little Background

I’ll have some extensive posts on the “back story” of Drawing the Dead soon, but for now here’s a little spoiler-free taste:

• Drawing the Dead takes place in the same “universe” as Shuffled Off. That means that ghosts and the concept of the afterlife established there, apply to this book. And, most importantly, it means that  JJ and the gang get to make a cameo.
• You might have noticed the above blurb mentions “A Ghost’s Memoir series” and “To Be a Fool.” Yup, JJ will be back soon, and this book gives a sneak peak a what is coming for JJ.
• This book hits many of the same themes as Shuffled Off (life and death), but does it from a different angle. While Shuffled Off focuses on the dead and their interactions with the living, this book focuses on the living as they peer across the veil to the world of the dead.

Interested?
