Lee Ming

Deadish Allsorts #2

by Naomi Kramer

Linda wakes up to an elderly Chinese woman standing next to her bed - one who doesn't seem to speak a word of English. Now she has to figure out who the woman is, and what the hell she's doing in Linda's bedroom.

If you've ever wondered what happened between Deadish books, then the Deadish Allsorts series of short stories is perfect for you. Each fills in a gap between the Deadish books and sheds some light on what goes on when there are no mysteries to solve.

Lee Ming is a short story, approximately 4500 words or 18 (print) pages in length.

14 pages, Kindle Edition

About the author

I grew up in a little country town called Walla Walla. A tiny place - about 600 people and a Lutheran church that, ironically, could seat all of them. Walla Walla had one big thing going for it - a lack of FUN trouble to get into. So when I was a kid, I spent most of my leisure time reading. And writing. And imagining weird stuff. I come by that talent naturally, you know - my mother has a nutty imagination and a nuttier sense of humour.

I grew up, moved to the Big Smoke, made a few dumb mistakes, grew up some more, and eventually realised that I'd always wanted to be a writer. So I started writing again. I wrote, and wrote, and eventually DEAD(ish) turned up in my head, almost fully-fledged, and I decided that Linda, Mike and Trent might just make me famous. *snicker*

I live in Brisbane, Queensland. I spend my days freelancing, writing books, and reading other people's books.

I'm a sucker for Katharine Kerr's Deverry series, Anne McCaffrey's Pern books, and Mercedes Lackey's everything. Less book-related - I'm a vegetarian, fierce feminist, and liberal christian. I wear my hair kd-lang-short, but usually brightly coloured.

Reviews

this is another in between novelette for the (Dead)ish series. Linda is assigned a trainee. She is to teach Lee Ming about Heaven and show her the ropes.

This one, I could leave or take. It focused a little too much on building, which got old hat after a bit. Not every story in a series can be the best of the bunch.
