Just when I thought my day couldn't get worse, I am accidentally summoned in Death's place…My name is Cal Thorpe, and I am in the middle of learning to live a life after the return of my wayward soul. My emotions are a mess and I will start weeping at the sight of an empty bowl of popcorn.
Then, my cousin Baz and I are accidentally summoned by a punk band who managed to get their hands on a recipe for summoning Death. Now, they want my help to get rid of a curse lingering at a music festival. Before I can protest, Baz agrees and I'm stuck helping out a band with really terrible music.
While investigating this mess, I discover that there's more going on than just a simple curse. And it would appear I'm at the centre of it all. Someone's out to get me, and if I don't undo this curse, then it won't just be me in harm's way, it will be a whole lot of innocent people.
As always, things go downhill from there.
with Evelyn Grimald Stone “ My characters tend to not fit the standard protagonist mould; they're not the strongest, the most powerful, the loudest. They have their own problems to deal with and end up in the middle of things because they want to help people, or by mere accident. ”
