Synopsis 

Emma Lee Raines sees dead people Proprietor of the Eternal Slumber Funeral Home, Emma Lee can see, hear, and talk to ghosts of murdered folks. And when her high school nemesis is found dead, Jade Lee Peel is the same old mean girl—trying to come between Emma Lee and her hot boyfriend, Sheriff Jack Henry Ross, all over again. There’s only one way for Emma Lee to be free of the trash-talking ghost—solve the murder so the former prom queen can cross over. But the last thing Jade Lee wants is to leave the town where she had her glory days. And the more Emma Lee investigates on her own, the more complicated Miss Popularity turns out to be. Now Emma Lee will have to work extra closely with her hunky lawman to get to the twisty truth.

Author Interview

How did you come up with the title of your book or series?

The book is based my little known sickness call the Funeral Trauma…well, everything thinks I’m a little coo-coo because I had claimed to see someone who was no longer in the living. Little did I realize it was a gift from the great beyond where I can help people who were murdered find their killer. I see dead people.

Tell us a little bit about your cover art. Who designed it? Why did you go with that particular design?

The artwork was designed by my publisher, HarperCollins. I love working with them on the design and I’m pretty lucky I have that option.

Who is your favorite character from your book and why?

Definitely the heroine, Emma Lee Raines. She’s funny, smart, and caring.

Do you have any unique talents or hobbies?

I love to continue my creativity through scrapbooking my planner. I know that sounds so funny, but I use a planner for everything to keep me organized. There is an entire planning community out in the world and I love connecting with them.

How can we contact you or find out more about your books?

You can visit my website at Tonyakappes.com.

What can we expect from you in the future?

There are ten books in the Kenni Lowry Mystery Series that are contracted so I’ll be focusing on those for a little bit. We’ve also just signed a ten book audio deal with Dreamscape for the Kenni Lowry Mystery series which is pretty exciting.

What can readers who enjoy your book do to help make it successful?

Spread the word! There is nothing better than a recommendation and word of mouth. I’m so grateful when they do.

Do you have any tips for readers or advice for other writers trying to get published?

Write every single day. Learn something new. I’m not of the mindset where people say “write what you know”. I honestly had never killed anyone…..I still write mystery.
