About the novel, The Mercy of Thin Air
New Orleans, 1920s. Raziela Nolan is in the throes of a magnificent love affair when she dies in a tragic accident. In an instant, she leaves behind her one true love and her dream of becoming a doctor--but somehow, she still remains. Immediately after her death, Razi chooses to stay between--a realm that exists after life and before whatever lies beyond it.
Seventy-five years later, in this ghost-like state, Razi takes residence with a troubled couple whose history mirrors her own. Her intervention in their lives forces her to face the truth of what happened to her beloved Andrew and the nature of her very existence.
Part love story, part ghost story, The Mercy of Thin Air is an exploration of our fragile human lives and memories.

Valentine’s Day is almost here, and you don’t have a clue what to give that special lady in your life. You’d give her candy, but she’s on a diet. You’d give her flowers but she has allergies. Here’s the perfect solution: order “AWAKEN THE PASSION” now, so she’ll have it in time for Valentine’s Day. This is a darling love story between a girl and her favorite angel. It shows that love can conquer all. Go to www.vernahargrove.net to order from your favorite online store. Thanks, Verna

As a winter present for everyone, I'm offering a free novella on my website. Please check it out!
A HAPPILY EVER AFTER OF HER OWN
Melinda Lightfoot, a preschool teacher with an unusual ability to flit in and out of fairy tales, never thought she would get into trouble...
...until the Fairy Tale Police arrest her while she is in Beauty and the Beast. They offer her a deal: Find Beauty, who left the story when Melinda trespassed into it, or be charged with the ultimate crime -- Fairy Tale Killer. If that's not bad enough the Beast tags along in search of his true love, and Melinda starts falling for the fairy tale prince. She must choose between doing the right thing and having her own happily ever after.

“The writer William Burroughs once called language “a virus from outer space”, and there’s a sense of that in A History of Sarcasm, where Burton holds words up to the sun and lets the light shine through them.”
