Replacement in Heaven

By John Bottrill

She grew up in a turbulent world of war in the 11th century. But she had periods with no memory of the past few years, when it seemed she had changed sex. It couldn’t be true, could it?
After a life cut short, she roams Heaven learning her new duties and coming to grips with possibilities she’d never even conceived. Finding her other half at last, it seemed it had all been true - in a way.

John Bottrill

John Bottrill , Galicia, SpainA retired academic psychologist, I've been living in comfort in Northern Spain - a region like the Lake District, but with good weather for 17 years. This place has magic - it's the nicest place I've ever lived. Personally, I'd happily live and eventually die here. But family reasons necessitate a return to UK.The house is stone-built 1691 with some land and lots of space for guests who come to find out more about the area, or just to think about a new life in Northern Spain. You can see the house at smallholdinginparadise.blogspot.com.es - it's paradise!You can read a book about the early Boterel family, which came to UK with William the Conquerer and were the ancestors of President George Washington, at www.bottrillfamilyhistory.com or http://bottrillfamilyhistory.blogspot.com.es. For an unusual children's book or Embarrassing Palmistry you might try http;//www.contactenglish.eu. That site also has a Scottish romance, unusual in that it deals with the machinations of the Priory of Sion, pros and cons of moving to France, a story about Heaven and unusual information about the Knights Templar.You can equally well access them at www.Smashwords.com.

REPLACEMENT IN HEAVEN

Oh, hello dear. Are you the replacement?

Yes. They said to ask for ...... er ...... damn! I've forgotten the name.

Dimity?

Yes, visibly brightening. That's it.

I'm Dimity. She bustled forward, a plump, motherly woman. "You'll like it here. We're all easy to get on with ..... well, most of us anyway. You'll see. What do we call you? Gudrun? We've not had a Gudrun before. There was a Gundred, but she left centuries ago. Leave your bits and pieces here and I'll show
