About the Book

Postcards from a Dead Girl

Postcards from a Dead Girl is a touching, almost cinematic debut novel featuring the eccentric, slightly disturbed, and unique character Sid, who finds himself obsessed by the mysterious postcards that arrive in the mail from his missing ex-girlfriend.

Sid Higgins, a telemarketer at a travel agency, is in the midst of a crisis: his sales are down, he thinks he might have a brain tumor, and his ex-girlfriend Zoe is sending him postcards from exotic locations --- the first he’s heard from her since she disappeared a year ago. Is Zoe taunting him, rubbing it in that she’s on the great adventure they were to take together?

Part Walter Mitty, part Woody Allen, Sid must come to terms with the dark reality of his past to make way for his future. Will our hero Sid ever find love again? Wonderfully poignant and macabre, Postcards from a Dead Girl marks the debut of a gifted and original new voice.
