Merk

About the Book

As an earthling, Merk thought that life after death would be endless peace and relaxation on Cloud 9. Surprise! He found himself on Cloud 3, the physical fitness cloud, spending all his precious time training fat angels to slim down. He’d been a fitness nut on earth; how fair is that? Besides, no matter what Merk does, calamity ensues: a simple fitness walk under the stars leads to a war between angels and pirates – and, since romance isn’t a part of life after death, why is he so attracted to Quiggy? Follow Merk and his companions’ other-worldly adventures through the cloud-world of the afterlife in Merk.
