I just published a new novelette entitled Jane's Eulogy.

Book description:

When Rachel Carrady is asked to do the eulogy at her friend Jane’s funeral after Jane suddenly dies, it forces her out of her comfortable, predictable life. Her biggest concern is whether she can do a good enough job writing the eulogy. Little does she know that is the least of her problems and that everything is about to change for her.
