"The Afterlife of Mal Caldera" Book Debut

Join us on June 25th to celebrate the debut novel of local author Nadi Reed Perez!

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Nadi Reed Perez is an author and writer for The Call of the Flame, a fantasy fiction podcast. They live near Denver with a growing menagerie of cats and a few probable ghosts. The Afterlife of Mal Caldera is their debut book. You can find them on Instagram, YouTube, and (for better or worse) on Tumblr @nadireedperez.

ABOUT THE BOOK
Mal Caldera—former rockstar, retired wild-child, and excommunicated black sheep of her Catholic family—is dead. Not that she cares. She only feels bad that her younger sister, Cris, has been left to pick up the pieces Mal left behind. While her fellow ghosts party their afterlives away at an abandoned mansion they call the Haunt, Mal is determined to make contact with Cris from beyond the grave.

She enlists the help of a reluctant local medium, Ren, and together, they concoct a plan to pass on a message to Cris. But the more time they spend together, the more they begin to wonder what might have been if they’d met before Mal died.

Mal knows it’s wrong to hold on so tightly to her old life. Bad things happen to ghosts who interfere with the living, and Mal can’t help wondering if she’s hurting the people she loves by haunting their lives. But Mal has always been selfish, and letting go might just be the hardest thing she’s ever had to do.

Funny, emotional, and life-affirming, The Afterlife of Mal Caldera will have readers laughing one minute and sobbing the next.

RSVP is required.
The Afterlife of Mal Caldera will be available for pre-order now and in-person on June 25th.
