don’t care.”
    “What about us?” he asked.
    “I think we’re going to have a very happy afterlife, too.” She laughed at him.
    He lunged on top of her. And he kissed her. And her laughter stopped and she wasn’t thinking about happy ever after, she was just thinking about now. About making that baby they’d been talking about. About the way his skin felt against hers. About the stubble rubbing her chin. About the way he smelled so damn good.
    And about the bumps in the road... Her favorite bump was growing on top of her right now. That was pretty damn good, too.
    And it was going to get better.
     
    -The End-

 
    Dear Reader,
     
    I’m delighted that you’ve read DEAD PEOPLE IN LOVE, the sequel to DEAD PEOPLE. One of these days I plan to write Joe’s story from DEAD PEOPLE, but for now I’m concentrating on my Miracle Interrupted series, where a miracle is prophesied in a Wisconsin village with a population of 629. In almost every story, someone thinks the miracle applies to him or her.
    MUST WORSHIP CATS and STARDUST MIRACLE from the series are available now. MIRACLE LANE will be out soon – possibly by the time you’re reading this. Two more Miracle Interrupted novels are planned, with more on the way.  
    Read on for excerpts from STARDUST MIRACLE and CATTITUDE.
    If you enjoyed DEAD PEOPLE IN LOVE, I would appreciate it if you would help others enjoy it by posting a review at your favorite places.

    A miracle is going to happen
     
    Becky Diedrich is the cheesemaker’s daughter. 
The minister’s wife. 
The good sister.
    What she’s not is her own woman. 
What she can’t be is a mother.
    And then she catches her husband with another woman. 
And she moves in with her sister. 
And she starts to see sparkles.
    And this is just the beginning…
     
    Excerpt:
    Becky ran across the grass and laughed at her brashness. She wore her tan trench coat — her church coat — over her red negligee. Tonight she felt free. With a sexual appetite and playfulness she hadn’t felt for a long time.
    She couldn’t swear that what she planned had never happened in the church, people being what they were. But it had never happened in the church before with her and Jim.
    Laughter spilled out of her mouth, and she only stopped because she was breathless from an overload of excitement. The need to experience something more with her husband had been building inside her for a long time. Now it was finally boiling over — leaving her lightheaded and unlike her usual self.
    She liked these feelings. Liked this side of her a lot.
    When she’d stepped out of the car tonight and looked up at the stars, something happened. Something changed. For so long, she’d been carrying a dark weight around with her. Going through the days and nights trying to say and do all the right things, when inside something had felt all wrong.
    She’d lost the joy of life. Not fully living...just going through the motions. At only thirty-six, she’d felt old and dried up.
    Now she felt young again. Free.
    Jim wouldn’t know what happened to his proper wife.
    She reached the church’s back door, using it instead of the front entrance because she didn’t want anyone passing by to see her. Not that there was anything wrong with going to see her husband. But if anyone mentioned her late night visit, her face would probably turn the color of a ripe tomato and give away what they’d done.
    She slipped the key into the lock but it turned easily. She stepped inside. Jim must’ve come in this way and forgotten to lock the door behind him. He was always preoccupied with his work and his parishioners.
    She admired that. She did. But once in a while, she wanted his mind, plus
