Dear humans,

The female survived! We're very pleased about this, as we need her to feed us. She is more reliable than the male. She has emerged from the sales drive gauntlet, and she is biting her nails (and having anxiety attacks) hoping that she is triumphant in her mission to rule the world.

She doesn't think she'll list on Grave Humor unless a miracle happens at this stage, but she has taken $2,500 out of her piggy bank and set up ads to give the book the best possible chance of success. If paperback books are your thing, you can grab one here: https://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/grave-humor-r-j-blain/1133374336?ean=9781949740882

“He’s uglier than hell, Anwen. He looks like he got into a knife fight and barely escaped with his life. He is not precisely cute.”

“But look at his ears.”

“They are ears. What is special about them?”

I gestured to the dog's ears. “They’re floppyish.”

“Floppyish?”

“A little floppy but not all the way floppy. They’re adorable.”

Most days, Anwen regrets working at a funeral home. With the residents no longer inclined to stay in their coffins where they belong, she’s got her hands full making sure everyone follows the rules:

In the funeral home, there is no screaming, no murdering, no mutilation, no possessions, no kidnappings, no resurrections, and no cursing of any type. Be quiet and stay polite.

The day Old Man McGregor decides to take a walk and disturbs her peace, Anwen learns there’s a lot more to the basement in the funeral home than a vampire and a handsome gentleman on ice.

If she’s not careful, she’ll learn first-hand why ‘eternally yours’ is the most potent of threats.

Warning: this novel contains romance, humor, bodies, shenanigans, and mythological puppies. Proceed with caution.

Grave Humor is a standalone novel in the Magical Romantic Comedy (with a body count) series with some appearances by some old friends. The devil is in the details, and walk lightly around the dragon, for you are crunchy and taste good with ketchup.

And now, we're off. The female has to play catch up, and she's doing her final preparations for the book's release. She found a typo after uploading. It is a missing double quotation. She is amused. She expects to find more, but so far... she did good. Good job, human female!
