Jason Newman is a representative for those who are the most in need of counsel ... the recently deceased. As an "attorney of the Afterlife" he must help his clients sift through the complicated details of their former lives and argue before the Elders on their behalf. He tries to help them cope with the reality of their deaths while he desperately struggles to repay his own debt; a debt he incurred in the process of his own demise.
*This novelette first appeared in the anthology "Awethology- Light" and is an introduction to The Eternal Trials Saga, a new series for adults that will feature full-length novels about people dealing with the transition between life and death. While these stories have a common theme, they tell the tales of very different characters and circumstances. Each is meant to stand alone, and all are intended for audiences of all belief systems.
C.E. Vance is an avid reader and proud Indie author. Aside from dreaming up fantastical tales for her books, she also enjoys writing poetry and short stories. She loves all types of literature, but has a soft spot for children's fantasy. How Maxwell Grover Stole My House is her debut novel and is the initial book in a trilogy for middle-grade readers. She happily resides with her husband and four children in Utah.
A VERY CLEVER IDEA I wish this book had been a little longer and we got to know more about the characters as this is such a clever idea which I think is very original. I loved the style of writing and I particularly liked the end – no spoilers here but it took me by surprise. It was a good read and I am very glad I bought this book. Must go and see if this author has written anything else.
