I cannot WAIT for you to take the journey with my beloved Xandra to the (maybe) afterlife. Most of all, I know you will love her as much as I do, as she is quite the character. What a joy this book has been to write — just so much fun and ridiculousness, including poking fun at Tarot readers — and you’ll hear my laughter all the way through.

BLURB FOR I Was Once A Person.
What is reality, after all? From the bestselling author of The Reluctant Tarot Reader comes a story that explores love, death and what really happens after we drop the body and walk on. That, and dead ex-wives who chastise the living.
After the tragic loss of her ex-wife Beatrix, motivational author and speaker Alexandra —XaHNdra — Bellenridge is about to reach new levels of fame and fortune, thanks to top tier PR, ironclad NDAs and the protective team of Lisette, Deborah and Charles, her special forces.
Yet an ordinary day is shook by an unknown podcaster named Victoria from The Analog Mysteries, who pokes around with persistent questions about the summer of 1986 at Spirit Lake Christian Camp; specifically, the unsolved death of a girl named Wren Smith. Suicide? Murder? Victoria isn’t persuaded by the DOPE method that Xandra employs with stalkers: Deny, Obfuscate, Pay, Escape.
Rather than face Victoria’s inquiries, Xandra faces herself in THE LAND OF INTRACTABILITY (a.k.a. TAINT) and a cast of questionable guides after driving off a cliff during an unfortunate kombucha break.
What’s done is done. Never look back is her unerring mantra, taught worldwide to adoring audiences — but apparently, the past isn’t done with Xandra.
Is she alive? Dead? In a drugged up coma? Having a near death experience (NDE)?
What is reality, after all?
Inspired by Dante’s The Divine Comedy and Sartre’s No Exit, I Was Once a Person explores notions of love, death and what really happens after we drop the body and walk on.
