    About this ebook

    I never asked to move to a nowheresville like Pine Bridge, but it turns out that living here wasn't the worst that could happen to me. No, being dead here is worse.

    The one person in this entire town I want to see me is suddenly oblivious to my existence. There's a creepy fog trying to assimilate me. And my death knocked me back in time so I have to watch the living me draw ever closer to her demise.

    There's a slender chance I could stop myself from dying. But since it requires the help of one Copper Finnegan (a high school celebrity and the bane of my existence), I may have to get used to being dead.

    Andrea Marie Brokaw

    As a Navy brat and then a Navy wife, Andrea Brokaw, aka Andy, has lived on three continents, in four countries, in seven states, and in thirteen towns. (Or something like that. She loses count.) However, she now considers Washington home. She has two cats and a teen-aged boy, as well as a collection of acronyms, including GAD, ADHD, and PMLE. That basically means that she's clinically diagnosed with worrying too much, not paying attention to things, and not being able to play in the sun.
