Book Description

December 19, 2002
Route 66, once America's most famous road west, has become America's most haunted highway. Littered with ghostly travelers, towns, automobiles, and phantom auto wrecks, it is said to be a stretch of road that refuses to die. Henry Smith, vacuum cleaner salesman and "regular guy" doesn't know about the rumors as he leaves the highway in search of a shortcut to his next appointment. He hasn't been warned about phantom lights, nor that the diner he is about to stumble into might just be something else.Henry Smith is about to look Murphy's Law right in the eye as he heads his Chevrolet toward a big blue neon in the dark. He is about to straddle the ride to end all rides, and confront questions that have plagued mankind for centuries. Henry Smith is about to become the most confused enlightened soul in the history of the world. And we're invited to come along with a front-row seat.

Linda lives in the west, teaches at a major university, and manages a big stretch of land in her spare time . . . when she's not writing. Linda says writing is bliss, and swears she has a resident Muse who sings loudly 24/7. Someday, she hopes to get to all those ideas.

5.0 out of 5 stars Heavenly Reading, June 10, 2003
By 
Suzanne Scarborough (Garden Grove, CA United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: CAFE HEAVEN -(AN AUTOBIOGRAPHY OF THE AFTERLIFE) (Paperback)
This is a novel that grabs the reader at once and won't let go until the very last page is turned. Fascinating philosophical questions are asked and, ultimately, answered. The characters that hang out at Cafe Heaven are a mysterious lot, as is their situation. Are they dead? Alive? In some strange 50s rendition of purgatory? Is this happening at all? While the strangeness might be disconcerting, we are kept firmly anchored by a lively jukebox that takes on a personality all its own, and tantalizing aromas coming from the kitchen. An unending supply of apple pie ala mode? Now, that's heaven!

5.0 out of 5 stars Surprise!, September 10, 2004
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: CAFE HEAVEN -(AN AUTOBIOGRAPHY OF THE AFTERLIFE) (Paperback)
Glorious cover! And what was inside this little book was a big surprise! I read it cover to cover without sleep! Fast pacing. Satisfying storyline. Thought-provoking while maintaining a comfortable lightness of being.

This book certainly will be enjoyed by anyone and everyone who has ever questioned the very fabric of life itself, and wondered what happens afterwards. Lots of stuff in there, all tied up in a neat little mystery, with even a splash of unrequited romance.

I agree with fellow reviewers in that this book would be a great movie. I have the cast already picked out. And I'd love to read a sequel - maybe about Wanda!

5.0 out of 5 stars Can't wait to read more from LTS, June 11, 2003
By 
Tim (Laguna Niguel) - See all my reviews
This review is from: CAFE HEAVEN -(AN AUTOBIOGRAPHY OF THE AFTERLIFE) (Paperback)
I've never written a review before ... never felt the need, but I'm taking the time in this case because I found this book to be such a fun read I wanted to be sure the author got some well deserved credit. The concept of the story at first seemed familiar, like something out of the Twilight Zone, but rapidly took new unexpected and original twists, making it hard to put it down. The revelations toward the end of the book were neatly done, and amazing, the author granted the reader enough intelligence to not have to beat us on the head and yell "SURPRISE". Now that's refreshing.
