Jon enjoyed a happy childhood—making daisy chains, holidays in the sun and an obsessive interest in all things fantasy. No brace, few spots and only one broken bone and one broken heart (not his). It all went swimmingly.
Father of four, he lives near Liverpool with his wife, Mrs. Smith, and their two school-age children. When he grows up he’d like to be a librarian.

Now, with their second chance hanging by a thread, Emma and Mark are at odds: he’s fighting to live again, while all she wants is a peaceful afterlife. Reaping souls is one thing—reaping them while untangling unspoken feelings, philosophical dead ends, and the end of the world is almost impossible. Can Emma stop...
