She'd heard about the strange world where death is overcome in a healing sleep...

Emily wakes to find herself in a house that looks very much like her childhood home. But not exactly. Clearly, this isn't home. And Emmy – as she's known to her friends – is no longer a child. She's an elementary school teacher with a drinking problem who has just taken a rather spectacular fall from the wagon.

Bad dream? Alcoholic delirium? That armada of snakes emerging from the trees certainly has her wondering. Emmy soon finds she's not the only person in this world who arrived after a fall from grace, and a brush with death.
While Emily Slept is book two in the Healing Sleep Duology and begins seventeen years after the conclusion of A Healing Sleep – The Death and Untimely Life of Skip Stevens.

Skip Stevens reprises his role as a flight instructor who finds more than engine trouble when he accepts a job too good to be true flying to and from the Bahamas. Parallel stories of love, loss and temptation fuel this mysterious thriller that races to a violent conclusion on a moon-splashed beach in the Caribbean.
