Here After marks a return to my supernatural roots, after a brief foray into the thriller genre with Finders Keepers and Sandman. I'm hoping that fans of the original three horror novels will be pleased.
As always, people too numerous to mention were involved in the research and advance reading of this novel, and I’d like to thank them again now...you know who you are. Special thanks to Dr. Brent Kennedy for verifying the accuracy and clarity of medical details in the novel, a laborious task at best. Also special thanks to Nathan Abourbih and his colleagues at The Web Architect for creating such a gorgeous website; to Amy Bradley for the great cover art; and to writer Mark Leslie for his invaluable input and encouragement.
While researching this novel, I became aware of the vital role organizations like Child Find play in the process of returning missing children to their families. In honor of that role, I've decided to donate all personal proceeds from the novel to Child Find. It is my sincere hope that, in the process of promoting and marketing Here After, other Northerners will come on board to assist this fine institution. Topping the list so far are Nathan Abourbih of the Web Architect, who constructed this website free of charge; Vicki Gilhula, managing editor of the excellent Sudbury Living magazine, who will be doing a feature article on the novel in the fall '08 issue; and Alfred and Louise Boyd of Alfred Boyd Photography...thanks for the portrait guys. Where appropriate, links to contributors websites will appear on the More Info page.
Here After is scheduled to appear in bookstores on October 1st, 2008, in trade paperback. Book signings, readings and other events will be posted on this site as dates become available.
