Snippet Sunday

Snippet Sunday is a Facebook group where writers come together to share a few sentences of their current project--whether it’s
a recently released novel, a WIP (work in progress), or an older manuscript that’s being revived.

Here is a snippet from my upcoming May release DEATH BENEFITS-

Have I mentioned that my half-sister and I look nothing alike? I’m as small, curvy, and dark, as Denise is tall, slim, and blonde. My hair is thick and wavy; hers is baby fine and poker straight. Even in shorts and a tee shirt she managed to look like she just walked out of a magazine. People rarely believe we’re related. And that’s even before I open my mouth.

DEATH BENEFITS
Max Logan’s insecurities have consumed her to the point that she has allowed them to skew her perceptions of people and circumstances. She has grown progressively more bitter, sarcastic, and solitary since her divorce and feels as though she
has spent a lifetime getting the short end of the stick through no fault of her own; still she trudges on. Things can always get better, right? Of course, it’s hard to cultivate optimism when she finds herself dead; the victim of a D.I.E (Death in Error) caused by an overeager Grim Reaper in Training. She brokers a deal to be sent back to Earth as a temporary substitute for the Superintendent of Spiritual Impediment. Can a girl who can’t recognize her own problems rectify the issues of the living impaired? Or will she discover that concentrating on their issues gives her a new perspective on her own?

I'd like to know more about their relationship.
Are they close?
Is jealousy a factor? Envy?
You've planted lots of seeds here, nice 8! Ooops! Nice 6!

This is very interesting and I can't wait to find out more about them. Not sure I'd like to find myself dead. Loved this and I'm hooked. :-)

I <i>adore</i> this premise! And as the short, brunette sister of a tall blonde, I get this. I really do.

I must say I have a fondness for dead girls. Looking forward to finding out more about yours!
