    About this ebook

    HEAVEN CAN WAIT by R. J. DAVNALL

    Tom never expected to die young; much less to be met by the Men Who Weren't There upon his death. Who are these Men? And what is the Non-Agency they work for? More importantly, is there any way Tom can make sure he doesn't end up in Heaven?

    Book 1 of the Non-Agency series mixes humor, bureaucracy, and romance to serve up fantasy story that will appeal to anyone who has ever wondered what life after death is like.

    R. J. Davnall

She has been making up stories, including her own, all her life, and thus probably shouldn't be trusted to write her own bio. When disguised as a human, she is a Lecturer in Philosophy and Game Design Studies, and a member of the Olaf Stapledon Centre for Speculative Futures, at the University of Liverpool
