It will be necessary for you to dismiss what you thought you knew and accept a whole new line of understanding for you are no longer a living, breathing, physically moving entity walking the face of the Earth, but a soul free to travel at your leisure, to meld as you choose, to relinquish all pretenses of humanity, and to live eternally in a place where happiness becomes the vanguard of your eternal existence. In order to do so, there must not be any remnants of the before available in the recesses of your mind to inhibit your journey. This is, in part, why you are here suspended with me in time listening to all of my goings on so that when you transcend you will not be afraid of what is to come. You will be prepared for and willing to venture forth without any reservations. Who you were; who you are; and who you will be does not change. Your soul is forever cast into what you made it while you were living in those primitive conditions.” With those words spoken, the angel perilously looked at her charge as though looking through him. An eerie feeling washed his entire being as he wondered what she might be suggesting in her commentary. "Why can't death be as simple as dying and going to Heaven?" Perhaps, it should be, Caliandra thought to herself, but then I would be out of a job. Giving that a second to sink in, she recanted the notion. Okay, maybe not for if an angel isn't busy doing one thing they are busy doing another.

About the Book
Jeffrey felt nauseous and weak in the knees. One certainty he was fully aware of was that he wasn’t ready for his time on Earth to be over.
Surely, if I am dead, I would know it, wouldn’t I?
At least for the moment, he didn’t feel dead, but then again, being dead wasn’t something he was so sure that he would know how to feel. An emotion beyond terror gripped his mind as he tried to bring some sort of logic to the circumstances of his demise. This was impossible and certainly not the way he had planned to spend his weekend, nor was it even remotely feasible in the plans he had made for his future endeavors during and after college.
About the Author
Deborah is a Hoosier at heart. She loves the Indianapolis Colts, the quietude of the farmlands, and the solace of being close to her family. Still, she says she yearns for the beauty of Iowa and its rolling hills.
She attended college at Indiana University of Kokomo for four years studying English literature. She found herself fascinated by the manipulations required and used throughout civilized time to enlighten the masses to the realities of politics, religions, and prejudices.
She has two daughters and four wonderful grandchildren. Both of her sons have passed on to the hereafter, and she confesses that she still misses them every day. Therein lies the inspiration for Living On and her quest for the answer as to whether or not she will embrace them again.
“I truly believe I will.”
