The In-Between

by Karen Sandler

Teenage sweethearts Johnny and Laura don’t know how they died decades ago. They only know they must find someone living to solve the riddle of their deaths. Meanwhile they exist largely in the emptiness of the in-between, separated from one another, longing for those few bright days when they haunt the wreckage of the old car they died in.

Kyra Aimes, once-burned and twice-shy as far as men are concerned, doesn’t know what to make of the 1955 Ford Fairlane that appears at her wrecking yard. But when Randon Bolton turns up soon after, Kyra knows she’d much rather face a haunted car than the commitment-phobic drifter. But just as the tragedy of the teen ghosts makes its way into Kyra’s heart, so does Randon. And Kyra knows that a no-strings-attached man like Randon is going to break her heart all over again.

About the author

Karen Sandler grew up in L.A. County’s South Bay, fishing for bonito off the Redondo Beach pier, crunching on sand in her tuna sandwiches, and roasting in the sun until she was lobster-red.

By age 9, she knew she wanted to be a writer without having the slightest notion what that involved. She was practical enough to earn a BA in math & physics and an MS in computer science (hence her love of science fiction), but her software engineering career took a sharp U-turn when she quit to write full-time.

She's the author of numerous novels, screenwriter of a few short films, and now knows exactly what a writer does—tell stories that linger in the hearts of her audience.
