About this series
In The New Empyrean, Book III of The High Comedy, Twersky embarks on his trip to Heaven under the guidance of his recruiter and mentor Bea. After leaving Purgatory, they travel to the Heavenly Spheres where all goods and services are created for Earth. The first stop is the Moon and then all the planets of the Solar System where Empyreans are hard at work inventing the next best thing …and then the next best thing after that.
The Empyrean headquarters is the final destination, but traveling through Heaven is not easy, as Twersky must keep his eye on the prize while fending off shattering memories of his time in Hell. And then there are the Empyrean Soldiers who resent these migrants from Hell and have him in their crosshairs.
Each step forward demands of Twersky: Does he have what it takes to become a great Empyrean Soldier?

- Limbo: The High Comedy, #1
1
In Limbo, Book I of The High Comedy, Nora Quien takes the reader on a trip through the afterlife where a man walks the tightrope between good and evil, a dance we all do, often for the entertainment of everyone else. Dan Twersky is a former TSA agent killed in an airport drug bust, who finds his fate in Hell, the first stop on his journey into the great beyond. At first, he must negotiate the stinky, over-populated Nine Circles of Hell, a fearsome place with a diverse cast of shady residents and loathsome characters from history. His biggest challenge is to keep the Devil happy, an almost impossible task. Forced to work on Your Majesty's relentless war on goodness, Twersky must succeed at his evil assignments on Earth to avoid ending up in Hell Central, the location of the dreaded Fire Pit. His travels take him to some of the world's hotspots and on an inner journey where he faces the demons of fear and loneliness. Twersky takes us on an exploration of twenty-first-century Hell and the tenuous borders between reality and fantasy and comedy and horror. Sometimes who can tell the difference?
- Modern Purgatory: The High Comedy, #2
2
In Modern Purgatory, Book II of The High Comedy, Twersky is fresh out of Hell and finds himself on the beach of Mount Purgatory, home of the seven terraces aka the Seven Deadly Sins. He is lucky to find a new friend in Cato, his guide up the mountain. Each terrace has a redemption center where he must pass scrutiny in order to move up to the next terrace. It is on this treacherous climb that Twersky strives to come to terms with his own defects and weaknesses. It is a perilous ascent, and to make matters worse, Twersky is plagued by something evil, a trickster bounty hunter who is determined to bring him back to Hell. His goal is to reach the top of the mountain, home of the lush and lovely Garden of Eden, the last stop before the lift-off into Heaven where all Empyreans pledge to fight on the good side.
