LETHE (free)

LETHE is now ready for public consumption after a thorough revision.

https://www.smashwords.com/books/view/15436

BLURB: Dan Tompkins, dead of supernatural causes at age 22, washes up on Lethe, where souls go to forget life and strive for Elysium. Pining for Gina, the love he left behind, Dan wants out. He teams with rogue soul Marco Sabonis to find a way back to the land of life. The Elysial powers are not amused. There may be Hell to pay.

Warning: do not attempt to read this if you can't handle a first person, present tense POV. I know that it can drive some people nuts. Also, note that chapters one and two are probably the least penetrable of all of the chapters in this book. Its not the best strategy, I realize, for hooking readers, but it accomplishes what I am seeking artistically.

Be warned, this book is a departure (an experiment) from my usual style, but some of my beta readers seem to have enjoyed it, even in its earlier, cruder form. Give it a shot if a very different take on an afterlife story appeals to you. Those who have already downloaded it might want to pick up this improved version.
