Produktbeschreibung

For the first time in nearly thirty years of marriage, Art McElroy Sr. buys his headstrong, disapproving wife a dozen yellow roses. Hours later he discovers her lifeless body seated on the toilet. Mae Rose McElroy's sudden death leaves a void in her family and in the entire Midwestern farming community of Fairview. It's a void Mae Rose will attempt to fill, herself, from the hereafter by meddling directly in earthly affairs.

Mae Rose's meddling leads to her spiritual expulsion from heaven, and she winds up in the body of Mary Lee Broadmoor (Scary Mary), a crusty writer and director of exquisite horror movies. Mary Lee refuses to succumb to stage-4 pancreatic cancer until she gets one final shot at an elusive Oscar. Like Mae Rose, who argues with God for a return to earth, Mary Lee pleads, from her Hollywood deathbed, for more time to complete her work, as her hospice nurse, Gertie Morgan, looks on.

The two women's spirits work together, and Mae Rose provides her host with a new script idea: a love story, based on her life! The script earns Mary Lee her coveted Academy Award, but the movie's release shocks and disturbs Mae Rose's family. They set out to find, and confront, the woman who has somehow co-opted, and publicly revealed, their personal tragedy.

Along the way, new love emerges as the reader meets a caste of crazy, eccentric, but highly memorable characters. Death by Roses suggests that relationships don't end at death, but continue until their ultimate purpose is achieved. The universe has every resource at its disposal to get the job done. It also has an amazing sense of humor

Autorenporträt

Vivian Probst never intended to use her linguistic background to work on English. She intended to continue in her family's tradition of a missionary life with an emphasis on tribal areas without a written language. ¿ While in Africa, Vivian was shown that her life work was elsewhere. She returned to the U.S. and became a national consultant to the affordable housing industry that (to this day) provides housing for people in need. On March 10th, 2000, a dream awakened her to writing fiction stories to help people suffering from life issues. She became an award-winning novelist, preferring a world of fantasy in which she could use stories to tell these tales. She called it Intention Fiction. While still traveling and teaching tax regulations, she continue working on her stories, known as The Avery Victoria Spencer Fables. ¿On August 8, 2008, while working on a fifth book in her Avery Victoria Spencer Fable series, Life showed her this incredible travesty-how English prefers men in words. She knew it was her work to fix it.¿Fifteen years later, she had a remedy-simple changes to six words that equalize English and give women some words of their own using linguistic spelling. While simple in concept, it took Probst years to decode English. This has been her life work since 2008. 'Breaking The Bias of English' explain her work.
