Hereafter, and After Richard Parks

A Dead Guy and an ex-Valkyrie...


...they make a great team. Jake Hallman may have shuffled off his mortal coil but he's a long way from finished. He stubbornly refuses to stop learning and searching for understanding instead of meekly accepting his eternal reward like a proper soul, and there are consequences for that. Now no Afterlife can contain him. Not that he doesn't try out a few, just for size. When he joins forces with Freya (no, not that Freya), ex-Valkyrie and Valhalla malcontent, there's no stopping them. Join Jake and Freya on a quest to discover if there is any place in the cosmos where a spirit can be truly free. You're love Hereafter, and After, since what's better than a quest for ultimate meaning that doesn't sacrifice your sense of humor?


Get your adventure on!
