    About this ebook

    From the author of the Topper McMullen Series:
    The Trinity Murders
    Sun, Surf, Suicide

    This is the first short story in a planned collection of 8-12 short stories centering around the Dead Letter Office.

    Paige Andrews has led a life that got off track a long time ago, to the point that she doesn't know how she got there and is unsure how to get out. In the meantime, once a week, she allows herself a fantasy and writes a letter to her fake husband who is away on business.

    She mails them to a fake address and doesn't give them another thought, until she receives a response.

    A tale of loss, understanding and redemption, Hope on a Paige is a 6500 word short story that will catch you by surprise.
