Life After (PDF)

"Reader Alert! What Kalyste didn't learn in life, is taught to her after death. Jude is a man who knows how to make love to a woman from the top her head to the tips of her toes. Literally!

To My Readers: One night I dreamed I was at an engagement party held at a huge compound. Everyone in attendance resided on the property, hidden from the rest of the world. When I woke up, I couldn't figure out what it meant. Why were they living in secrecy? The next day, I heard a song called Church Bells, by Etta James. It's the heart-breaking story of a woman who watches the man she loves marry someone else. Slowly, pieces of a story formed in my mind. Everyone at the party were people long gone from the world. The woman in the song was dead and watched the love of her life move on without her. Since I've always been fascinated by ghosts, I thought it would be fun to put my own spin on where they come from and what purpose they serve. Life After turned out to be a pretty wild ride! Take a seat and share the thrill!
