DEATH: (A Love Story)

*DEATH: (A Love Story) is an Award Winning Finalist in the 2020 International Book Awards.* You might think that Death prefers first place, but truth be told, Death revels in being THE FINALIST! WARNING! YOU COULD DIE READING THIS BOOK! Hi, I am your Death and I am here for you. No wait, don’t go! Aside from the fact that you can’t get away, I’m not here for you in that way, at least not now, although to be honest with you we do have a date and I am always with you whether you acknowledge me or not. When's the last time you had an intimate heart to heart chat with your death? Have you ever? Now is your chance. If you want to know the truth I'm not your death, but you are mine. Now don't freak out on me. It's only a visit. I want to spend some quality time with you before the “big event” and seeing as you took the time to stop by and I have you as a captive audience I thought it would be nice to have a little visit and get acquainted. I have friends in more places than you can imagine and my eyes and ears are everywhere including all knowledge in every cell of your neurons, dendrites, mitochondria, organs, and anything else you can imagine. I’m here to tell you stories and share some science, history, and myths, all of which are your creations that I want to share to help you understand me more. You have seen me as Satan, Anubis, Mot, Thanatos, God, the Devil, loving, punitive, dark, light – the list goes on and on! It is my sincerest hope that our friendly reintroduction here will change the way you think of me, and maybe in some small way reflect the depth of the love I have for you.
