Book Description:
Award-winning, but down-on-her-luck playwright, Andrea Smilow, is commissioned by The Playhouse in Connecticut to save it from bankruptcy with a new work.
When she arrives, she discovers that The Playhouse is inhabited by the spirit of the real Jacob Marley, and he wants her play to be about him…to set the story straight about how Dickens ruined his life with A Christmas Carol.
Andrea believes he needs to be reunited with the spirit of Ebenezer Scrooge, who lives in the caretaker house. It is all Scrooge’s idea. He has been working with Andrea’s roommate, the most powerful witch in North America, to win a second life for Marley from God…and to get Marley and Andrea to fall in love.
Excerpt:
Andrea walked to the coffee table and picked up the letter.She held it up and jabbed at it with her right index finger. “Eleven regionaltheatre companies have performed Rememberings this year, and I get a royaltycheck for $750. How could that be right? They’re screwing me and I have no ideawhat I’m supposed to do.”
“Call Roger and see what he has to say.”
Andrea laughed. “Roger? He texted me yesterday. Not a wordabout money. He texts me once a year and never once has mentioned royalties…letus not forget that Roger is my last remaining tie to Brian. I met Roger throughBrian. Fifty agents wanted to sign me, and Brian insisted I go with Roger andWMA. He’s a pleasant enough guy, unlike Brian, but he’s never done a damn thingfor me. Is it Brian’s fault for recommending him, or my fault for listening tohim?”
Thoughts of Brian hit Andrea like a face against awindshield. She hadn’t thought about him consciously in a long time, yet he wasnever far from her thoughts. Some guys are like that; they just get into yourblood. Often it is the horrible ones that stay there. As the hot water from theshower touched her skin, it elicited an almost imperceptible sigh. She andBrian had spent many a shower together. She remembered how he loved to soap herbreasts, and make her nipples hard…until they begged for his lips. She tossedher wet hair out of her eyes and slapped the wall, chastising herself for eventhinking about him. He was just one of many evil spirits she had encountered inher life, and he was her past. Perhaps Ivoryton would point the way to herfuture. She shook her head as she dried her hair with a towel. She had no ideathat she was not quite done with Brian yet.
