Close friends Allan and Warwick are dead. They're not crazy about the idea so to help them deal with this dilemma are Samantha, a blond bombshell from the 1950s, and Guy, an insecure angel.
They
are soon drawn into the world of theatre - Afterlife style, with all
the bitchiness, back-stabbing and ego usually associated with the
mortal world.
Allan
also has a secret. He has a romantic crush on his friend, Warwick,
but shortly after confiding in his new angel pal, his love interest
falls for the cock-sure playwright, Pedro.
Not
only does Allan have to win the heart of his companion, he also has
to grapple with the faded memory of how he actually died.
EXCERPT:
EXCERPT:
“Warwick!” I yelled. “Are you there?”
There was no answer. A couple adorned in bohemian black, stopped in their tracks the moment I shouted to my ex-lover.
“Broken heart,” whispered Guy to the interested onlookers.
“I understand,” replied the woman. She looked up to her man. “Poor thing.”
“Go on, Allan, call out again.”
“Warwick! Warwick! I love you.” My voice echoed from the building as I looked to my angel friend. He nodded and caressed my shoulder. The couple nodded as well. “Warwick, are you home? I need to talk to you. Will you come down, please?”
“Keep going, Allan.”
“I really need to talk to you. I have so much more to say to you. I should never have let you walk out of my door the other night. I’ve wanted to talk to you so many times during the last few days, but there’s nowhere private at the theater. Plus I’d probably break down which is not a good look when you’re wearing white grease paint.”
A few onlookers came out from their balconies. I glanced at Guy who was joined by a small audience. Some parents had let their kids stay up well after bedtime, and their freckled little girl was giggling at me. Her mother shushed her so she sat on the ground, sulking.
“Don’t worry about it, Allan. Just go on.”
“Yes, we’re right behind you,” said an elderly lady with bad teeth. “You make him listen.”
“Warwick, I love you and I know you love me. You told me so. You said you’ve been waiting all year for me to make a move, and as you know I’ve been waiting for you to make that move too.”
“You tell him, love!” interrupted the old woman.
My support team began to chant Warwick’s name. I was empowered. I encouraged them to clap their hands in time. They did. There was about ten of them now, and their support gave me a warm glow in that frosty breeze. However, Guy looked worried.

AUTHOR
INFORMATION:
Kevin
lives with his long-term partner in their humble apartment
(affectionately named Sabrina), in Australia’s own ‘Emerald
City,’ Sydney.
From
an early age Kevin had a passion for writing, jotting down stories
and plays until it came time to confront puberty. After dealing with
pimple creams and facial hair, Kevin didn’t pick up a pen again
until he was in his thirties. His handwritten manuscript was being
committed to paper when his social circumstances changed, giving him
no time to write. Concerned, his partner, Warren, snuck the notebook
out to a friend who in turn came back and demanded Kevin finish his
novel. It wasn’t long before Kevin’s active imagination was let
loose again.
His
longest running passion is a weekly radio program he produces with
Warren for local Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander station, Koori
Radio. Since 2004 they have been discovering music, both new and old,
and interviewing local artists and community leaders. Every Friday
night, The
Rhythm Divine is
heard across Sydney and via the world wide web.
Kevin
is currently at work on the sequel to Drama
Queens with Love Scenes.

Thanks Shannon. The graphic artist was Laurie McAdams. She did a great job. I was lucky they assigned her to my book.
DeleteEven though I'm a little skittish with death themes lately, this does sound fun!
