A Ghost Without A Life

by Corinne Edwards, Paul Van Name (With)

A fiction ghost story. This quirky comedy features a deceased husband who disrupts his widow’s life by refusing to leave the earth. The story opens in a funeral parlor where a car-salesman type of director is trying to sell the widow an expensive coffin. The ghost of her husband arrives to insist, “I will not pay that kind of money for this funeral.” The pretty widow is hampered in her adjustment as a single woman by the ghost of her husband who refuses to admit he is dead. The dark comedy includes an unlikely, hypochondriac angel who has been sent by the other side to fetch him (a former theatrical agent on his first earth assignment) the relationships of four women in a dysfunctional travel agency, a teenage son - and after a series of “dates from hell” - a new love interest for the widow who turns out to be a fraud. And, yes, after the ghost learns some metaphysical truths, the angel gets his man to the other side. But, will he stay?
