Welcoming the Paperback version of THE SWEET DEAD LIFE !!

So thrilled that the paperback version of THE SWEET DEAD LIFE (Soho Press) released today, with a brand new very gorgeous cover with awesome red boots!!

Texas setting, guardian angels, snarky with a huge heart narrator Jenna and her sometimes celestial brother Casey. A huge global mystery. And some doomed romance… at least until the second book. It's what an angel book should be. Really. Plus kolaches.




If you don't believe me, believe author Michael Northrop, who just offered up this lovely blurb for THE A-WORD, the sequel that's coming in May from Soho Press/Soho Teen:




“The earthbound angels are as authentic as the down-to-earth people in The A-Word, but where the book really spreads its wings is in the interaction between the two. Resourceful teens and heavenly beings team up to get to the roots of a very modern mystery, and the big questions of the universe share space with first dates and football games. The result: a smart, original (and slightly celestial) mystery with a distinctly Texan flavor.”
—Michael Northrop, author of Trapped and Surrounded by Sharks
