Publisher's summary
Two-time Lambda Literary Award-winning author Ann McMan takes listeners inside the inner workings of the funeral home business as only she can in this remarkable and wholly unforgettable romantic comedy that proves life is for the living.
Everything about Lilah Stohler is dark: her clothes, her mood, and her outlook on life and death. That last part is important because Lilah’s father has just retired and left her in charge of Stohler’s Funeral Home. But Abel Stohler knows his daughter’s comfort level rests “downstairs”, so he hires one Sparkle Lee Sink to help Lilah manage the living part of the business of death.
Sparkle is everything that Lilah isn’t—an empathetic marketing whiz who is a true people person.
Lilah isn’t happy about this new arrangement, but when business starts booming because of Sparkle’s bright personality, delicious baked goods, and knack for funereal commerce, Lilah starts to think things might just work out. But joy is fleeting in the funeral home business, and Lilah’s world is turned upside down when an unwitting Instagram post featuring one of her moods goes viral—and now, sightings of “The Black Bird of Chernobyl” have become an obsession across the Instaverse.
Lilah knows that Sparkle needs to go, but before she can give her the send-off she deserves, Lilah must first find a way to deal with the inconvenient attraction she’s developed for the nemesis whose unconventional methods are single-handedly transforming the death trade—and possibly the Black Bird, herself.

Story
Emily Janssen prefers to play it safe. At thirty-five, she’s still working at the inn her grandmothers own while dreaming of a day when she’s able to support herself fully with her art. And while her friends have all hiked to the summit of the mountain in their hometown of Crescent Falls, Vermont, something has always held Emily back. Diana Devlin has already made it to the top. Well, almost. She’s this close to securing the promotion that will put her in line to take over as CEO of her family’s hotel chain when her father retires.

When six childhood friends get together for their annual girl's weekend at the beach in Port Aransas, none could have believed it would be for the very last time. Nina Evans had been saddled with organizing the weekend each year, pulling five of her oldest friends together for a few nights of fun and reminiscing, the one time a year they saw each other. Each year was much the same—laughter, dancing, and lots of drinking. This time was no different. That is, until Jones walked out of the dance club with a stranger.

After watching my mother succumb to a mysterious illness, I promised myself two things. I'd find the cure for what ravaged her and leave the godforsaken city where she abandoned me. Four years later, I received an acceptance letter from Dracadia University, one of the oldest most prestigious schools in the country. Nestled on a secluded island off the coast of Maine, it's rumored to be haunted by the souls of the mental patients exiled there centuries before, those whose bones are said to make up the island's white sandy shores. And restless ghosts aren't even its most daunting peculiarity.

So when Nadine learns that famous (and reclusive) author Dot Voline has died, she doesn’t hesitate to run the obituary…only to discover that Dot is very much alive. Nadine’s screw-up has brought Wesley Chen of the rival Spear no end of joy—she’s been a thorn in his extremely ambitious side for years. But the renewed interest in Dot also surfaced chatter about a mysterious past scandal.

Story
One sunny Spring morning, EJ's simple life is turned upside down when the town's master gardener unceremoniously hands her a stack of handwritten letters that have all been addressed to a nonexistent person at the garden. This simple act sets in motion a chain of events that will lead EJ on a life-altering quest to uncover the identity of the mysterious letter writer―and into a surprising head-on confrontation with the harsh realities of the racial injustice that is as deeply rooted in the life of her community as the ancient herbs cultivated in the Moravian garden.

When she is hired to investigate the background of a squeaky-clean and charismatic junior senator who might just be the next president, the last thing she expects to uncover is a murder.

Clever Story!
Ann McMan never fails to entertain. Her cast of characters, often quirky yet good-hearted are a delight. The setting p, a mortuary/funeral home , would not normally seem a place of adventure, but this one is. Christine Williams, as always is genius in her narration. Get the book!

Another banger from the famous author
So here I am , smelling like DEET knowing I have to put up 1km more electric fencing for my spawns of Satan (known commonly as Sami mountain goats ) and not knowing how to get through it . And then I get a notification that this new book dropped . And as usual it does not disappointed me at all. Loving both Elvira mistress of the dark and Gay , Ask a mortician aka Caitlyn Doughty, wonderful quirky and deep storytelling , I love this book like all the others . Maybe even a little more because I moonlight as a night nurse in an elderly home. Keep it coming Famous Author ! Love from Saepmie ( Lappland)

Gallows Humor at its finest!
Ann McMan is a master at making us all laugh at the most inappropriate things. She can also break your heart with prose so eloquent, you will weep. She did that for me with this book, and Christine Williams is a master at delivering the lines Ann writes with impeccable comedic timing. You will laugh out loud at this book, and You WILL cry bug fat tears. I'd bet my favorite beer coozie on it. Well done.

Ann Mcman does it again!
There is something about the way Ann Mcman pulls you into a story and never lets you go. This book is another one of her triumphs! The dashes of humor, wit, love and at its core human relationships that you can relate to no matter where you’re from makes her writing so enjoyable. I cannot say enough about Christine Williams! I love her as a narrator. I can listen to her read anything! AND we can all stand to learn a little more about the end of life process.
