"My book is about loss and impermanence, death but most essentially, love; it’s a love story. It’s about a young man named Jim Bird, who at the beginning of the book, dies, technically for just a few minutes, and returns with no memory of any lights, or angels or tunnels, or anything exciting like that. Anything that indicates there might be something waiting for him on the other side, or waiting for any of us for that matter. And coming back with that knowledge spurs an investigation of sorts into hopefully there is something and maybe he didn’t see it."
