First paragraph of new (as yet unpublished) novel End Man, a mystery set in Los Angeles in the 2030s.
"Death was a good place to hide. Ninety-nine percent of the reported dead stayed dead, but occasionally someone played possum. At the Norval Department of Marketing Necrology (NDMN), Raphael’s job was to find his possum’s pulse, no matter how faint."
I've posted chapters of End Man on Wattpad, a free reading site. If the opening paragraph interests you, please check it out. https://www.wattpad.com/myworks/27785...
After endless revisions and encouragement from people like you, I finally sold End Man to Cursed Dragon Ship Publishing, a small independent that specializes in fantasy, horror, and science fiction. It's scheduled for release in October 2022.
