How far would you go to clear your conscience after forsaking the love of your life in their dire time of need … once in each lifetime?
Retired salesman Ed Waite lives a curmudgeon’s life with his Saint Bernard companion, FDR, in the Rust Belt town of Murkyville. Beaten down by life and under the watchful eye of Alice, his elderly neighbor, he awaits death—until he falls for Angie, a stunning new neighbor who’s half his age.
Serendipitously, Gram Reaper, the Native American salesman for the Scythe Corporation—a highly structured, leading-edge global enterprise overseen by the Old Ones—offers Ed a youth-and-immortality package to transition souls to the other side.
Fueled by his desire for Angie, Ed’s younger self, Ted, seeks to atone for past wrongs. However, his penchant for healing over killing hurts the Corporation’s bottom line, exasperating Gram and the Old Ones.
Stumbling from one crisis to the next, and pressed by Alice, who is awakening to her mysterious supernatural past, Ed confronts the Reaper and faces Hell on Earth.

Would you chuck it in and plunk your family down on a farm at the tail end of the world? We did.
Sight unseen, Americans Dick and Ruth Reese, with three young children in tow, migrated to Australia’s remote island of Tasmania. With zero farming experience, they bought a 125-acre farm on a dead-end road near the quaint village of Port Cygnet.
Perpetually in the poorhouse, Ruth’s entrepreneurial spark ignited a series of businesses selling homegrown products to Australians and a quest to promote her pet pig, Matilda, in sunscreen commercials.
Living in a house alongside orphaned lambs and goats and an alcoholic rooster, outside, it was worse with wandering sheep and goats, an illicit Clydesdale and pig love affair, and poisonous snakes.
Before escaping to the exotic land of your dreams, have a read.
“… the true, crazy, and improbable story of wide-eyed parents… with the courage to take an adventure like the ones we’ve all dreamed of.”
