Getting Rid of Rosie
by Lynda Simmons

An outrageously entertaining debut novel of life, love, death—and the afterlife.

Rosie Fisk was once Samantha Marcello's best friend—but that was before she ran off with Sam's fiancé, Michael, seven years ago. Since then Sam has found a new love, The Silver Swan, her pub. And just as it seems that time has healed all her wounds, Michael walks back into her life—and now he's a widower.

With Rosie out of the picture, and unable to ignore the feelings she still has for him, Sam takes the opportunity to reconcile with Michael. But Rosie isn't about to let death stop her from keeping them apart. Her ghost has been hanging around her husband, playing on his grief and guilt—and only Sam can see her.

Rosie stole Michael from her once. But this time Sam is going to exorcise her once and for all...

Lynda Simmons' Bio

Photo by Kelly Wilk, Kelly Wilk Photography

Lynda Simmons is a writer by day, college instructor by night and a late sleeper on weekends. She grew up in Toronto reading Greek mythology, bringing home stray cats and making up stories about bodies in the basement. From an early age, her family knew she would either end up as a writer or the old lady with a hundred cats. As luck would have it, she married a man with allergies so writing it was.

With two daughters to raise, Lynda and her husband moved into a lovely two storey mortgage in Burlington, a small city on the water just outside Toronto. While the girls are grown and gone, Lynda and her husband are still there. And yes, there is a cat — a beautiful, if spoiled, Birman. If you'd like to read the legend of Birman cats click here.

When she's not writing or teaching, Lynda gives serious thought to using the treadmill in her basement. Fortunately, she's found that if she waits long enough, something urgent will pop up and save her — like a phone call or an e-mail or a whistling kettle. Or even that cat just looking for a little more attention!
