An agent for the Afterworld’s Bureau of Investigation, Ben Parker spent decades undercover on earth, searching for the wife he left behind when he died. Just when he decides to give up hope, and move on with his existence, he learns his soul mate was found. Now, reviewing her case file, he understands what she endured those years without him. More importantly, he knows what the future has in store for her... but there’s nothing he can do to change it.
Sandy Goldsworthy was raised in Sheboygan, Wisconsin, blocks from the rocky shores of Lake Michigan. As a child, she fantasized about becoming an author. She jotted story lines in spiral notebooks and drew images of characters that never came to life. Her passion for putting pen to paper began when her high school English teacher inspired her to be more descriptive in her work. Ever since, Sandy dabbled in creative writing, searching for that perfect shade of red and that character you want to get to know.
Admittedly, Sandy is addicted to coffee and dark chocolate, and is obsessed with all things paranormal. She records more movies and television shows than is humanly possible to watch in a lifetime, and swears there's a ghost in her house. When not writing, Sandy can be found curled up on the couch nose-deep into a book, or trying to catch up on that recorded season of some paranormal series.
Sandy graduated from the University of Wisconsin-Oshkosh, where she majored in marketing. She spends her days managing corporate client programs, and her nights and weekends drafting new plot lines in spiral notebooks. She resides in southeastern Wisconsin with her husband, two children, and an energetic puppy.
Her first novel, Aftermath, was released by Clean Teen Publishing in December 2014.
While I knew to expect a short story, I didn't expect that only half of the pages I downloaded would be Aftershock, the other half containing an introduction to the first book. I just wish there was more... story to the book, if that makes sense. Nevertheless, I thoroughly enjoyed the insight into how they first met and more pages in Ben's head. Maybe Sandy will decide to write some more about Ben and Elizabeth's previous life as well as their future ones.
**I received a copy of this book from the publisher, in exchange for a honest review.**
This is a short story, Ben's story, how he met Elizabeth, and it has two chapters of the very first book in this series, I think I'll read it next, I want to know what happens next. It looks like I'll like this series.
This was a nice little short story. I would love to learn more about Ben and Elizabeth (aka Emma). Will they get another chance at love? I am looking forward to reading the next part of this saga.
