Goshena: Queen of the Big In-Betweena

Goshena: Queen of the Big In-Betweena, the first in a series of surrealistic novels featuring fearless and impatient Goshena New Paris, introduces a parallel world where life ends and death begins. In the Big In-Betweena - this turbulent, fog-filled space between life and death - the Dark always works to sabotage the Light. And Goshena, whose job it is to order newly deceased souls out of their coffins or pull their physical remains from the drawers of morgues, has no qualms about feeding those who annoy her to her soul-eating frog, Jingles. 

But when Soul #24 enters the blinding fog refusing to accept that he has died, his obsessive, ruminative behaviors intrigue her. Although he has reasons for wanting to return to life, he quickly learns who's in charge. He ultimately discovers that the only way to escape Goshena's grip and move toward the Light is by passing a death quiz designed to test his knowledge of his previous life as well as his honesty and integrity.
