About the Book

Revenge is a dish best served… STEAMING HOT!!! After being beaten, clubbed, and stomped almost to death by two fag-bashing, jack-booted brothers on the darkened streets of Atchafalaya City, Louisiana, gourmet chef, Kenneth James Cunningham, wants revenge. But being dead, there’s nothing he can do about catching his killers so, two weeks after his death, he revives whole, solid, very human, and sexy as hell, in a most unusual vehicle, to solicit help in capturing the murderers. Kenny, as he prefers to be called, has many restrictions: he cannot leave the floor on which he died, he cannot read people’s minds, fly about, or walk through walls like ghosts do in movies, TV, or books; and he is invisible to everyone but his would-be rescuer, Jeremy Mallory, but he can provide crucial information that can lead to the capture of the dastardly brothers. He gets huffy if he’s called a ghost and downright pissed if he’s called a “friendly ghost,” preferring the term, “disembodied spirit.” To occupy his time and “show his appreciation,” Kenny whips up gourmet fare for Jeremy on a nightly basis and, true to the old axiom, “the way to a man’s heart is through his stomach,” they fall in love despite knowing that their affair is doomed to be short-lived. When Miz Xochipapálotl (“Xochi” for short) Zamorawitz, Atchafalaya City’s only homicide detective, doesn’t appear to be doing anything to catch the killers, Jeremy steps in to do the job, which is greatly facilitated when the killers come hunting for him!
