Grace works at Sanchez Motor Works, customizing hot rods. A few blocks around her small apartment building is all her world—from the grocery store where she buys beans, tamales and cigarettes to the library, the little record shop, and the Solona Music Hall. Which is where she meets John Burns, just two weeks too late.

Grace and John fall for one another, and that would be wonderful, except that they're both haunted by unfinished business. Before their relationship can be resolved, they're both going to have to learn things they don't know about the world of the living and the world beyond. About why it's necessary to let some things go.

The Mystery of Grace is a hardcover.

The Mystery of Grace is now available in audio format & digital download from Blackstone Audio and is also available from iTunes.

If you ever find yourself on Battersfield Road in Lower Crowsea looking for good spirits—of all sorts—ask one of the students to point you to Kathryn's Café. It's the center of the social world in town, although it might as well be in another world. And if you never make it to Lower Crowsea... buy the shirt.
