How I'm Spending My Afterlife
Spencer Fleury
(Author)Description
"A breakneck dissection of truth, lies, and all the troubles in between." - Stephanie Hayes, author of Obitchuary
After you're gone, what will they say about you?
Alton Carver is about to find out. Alton is under federal investigation for embezzling and securities fraud. Instead of spending years behind bars, he's got a plan: stage his own death, take the money he stole and light out for Central America, leaving behind his wife and daughter. But when he sticks around town long enough to watch his own funeral, he makes the unpleasant discovery that the life he's leaving behind isn't the life he thought he had. When he overhears the way his former colleagues talk about him now that he's "gone," Alton is forced to reconsider his self-image as a respected pillar of the legal community. The shock of seeing his wife in the arms of another man leads Alton to postpone his plan to run for the border. What comes next is a slow-burn train wreck, a tale of self-deception, revenge and bad decisions.

About the Author
Reviews
"Fleury manages a fantastic balance between a wild, wicked plot and well-rendered characters who earn our sympathy, even as they wallow in the muck of their own bad behavior. This book is hard to put down." --James Brubaker, author of The Taxidermist's Catalog
"Reading How I'm Spending My Afterlife is like watching a train wreck--in the best possible sense. As Alton Carver makes one ill-advised decision after another, it's impossible not to keep turning the pages. Alton's spectacular bad judgment--and Fleury's sharp prose--are obsessively compelling." --Janis Cooke Newman, author of A Master Plan for Rescue
"Spencer Fleury's How I'm Spending My Afterlife starts out of the gate at an all-out sprint, hooking us by the end of the first paragraph and luring us relentlessly forward with his sharp, propulsive prose. His deft pacing raises the stakes and ratchets up the tension with every twist and turn, and his knack for balancing poignant reflection with dark, side-splitting humor is undeniably top-notch. Add to that an authentic, engaging narrative voice, and what you have is a memorable debut novel that's a hell of a good time and not to be missed." --William R. Soldan, author of In Just the Right Light
"How I'm Spending My Afterlife is entertaining and well-written ... an irresistible cocktail that must be savored slowly for maximum enjoyment." --Marta Tandori, Readers Favorite
"A breakneck dissection of truth, lies, and all the troubles in between." --Stephanie Hayes, author of Obitchuary
"Spencer Fleury busts out of the gate in a frenzy with a dark, comic debut that will have you ripping through pages much like he wrote them: in a maniac's glee." --Eryk Pruitt, author of Dirtbags and What We Reckon
"Spencer Fleury pulls out all the stops to make How I'm Spending My Afterlife a page turning thriller that had me glued to it until I'd read the very last word." --Stephani Hren, Indie Reader
