Writing On The Fine Line

One year ago my novel “Beyond December” was published by Scrivenings Press. It’s been an exciting time. If you haven’t read it, now would be a great time!

Marriage is for life, but love lives on.

Newspaper editor Zak Cooper knows his wife, Kay, is dead. She died mere weeks before Christmas and his newspaper covered the story extensively.

So why is he seeing Kay around town and why is she talking to him? And why can’t he touch her?

Are they “bereavement hallucinations,” as his doctor suggests? Or is it something more?

And what about Jenny Miller, new in town with her young daughter? A daughter similar in age to what Zak’s daughter would be if she’d lived?

Can Zak move beyond this life, this love? Can he move beyond December?
