Publisher Description

I met Death in the park. And then he offered me a job…My name is Cal Thorpe and I worked for the premier marketing firm as a marketing and public relations agent. Then, I met Death. He gave me two options: go back to the moment when I'd been shot or work for him as his marketing agent. Obviously, I took the job.

The only thing is, working for Death was absolutely nothing like I expected. For one, my assistant is a rock troll named Yolanda who smiles a lot and has a penchant for salt. Then, there's the fact that I have to interview assassins who work with Death to get a sense of the guy. Oh, and finally? Death is married to Life and she's accusing him of murder.

Death says he didn't do it. Now it's up to me to go and solve this impossible crime, taking me on a trip through the magical realm of Elsewhere, and back to the mortal realm of Earth, to track down a killer who outsmarted Death. The only question is what is going to happen if I actually find the culprit. I have a feeling things will never be the same again.

The Innocence of Death is the first book in an exciting comedic urban fantasy about Death hiring a marketing agent. Things go downhill from there...

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.
