Hey! How did I miss THIS thread? Off shamelessly self-promoting elsewhere, I guess
In case you've been living under a rock, this is my first ebook:
DEAD(ish) is a romp through murder and the afterlife. It's crude, full of bad language and over-the-top stereotypes, and it contains Aussie spelling.
If you're easily offended, please, do read it! Then post a review about how offensive it was
Here are some of my favourite reviews:

Even at 26 pages this "book" is not worth reading. It is something I could have written in an hour in 7th grade or so. Reading the overview was more fun than actually reading the book.

I just re-read Dead(ish) and I must say I had as much fun reading it as the first time. While there is definitely a ghost, this is no horror story. (Well, for one hapless character it is, a bit). Meet Linda, the funniest, more creative, vengeful ghost with an attitude. Along with a loser boyfriend, a PI turned exorcist and the gay couple next door, they kept me chuckling all the way from start to finish. I suspect I will happily read it a third time, and a fourth.

this was just horrible. The author over used the word arse and it becomes distracting and obnoxious. The story is stupid and I could care less about the characters in the story. DONT READ THIS STORY!

The concept behind DEAD(ish), a ghost getting some serious payback on the loser boyfriend who killed her, is nothing new, but can be entertaining if done well. This story was done very well.
I admit to some qualms after reading the first page and the inordinate amount of swearing, but after a page or two, I stopped noticing. It was very easy to slip into the story.
You really can’t trust any of these characters, with the possible exception of Trent. The narrative keeps you guessing until all is revealed.
Poor Trent. His situation made me smile more than once while reading. In fact all the characters were sympathetic in a way. But none of them were nice.
A fast, fun, satisfying read. I smiled more than once at the antics of the characters.
