A dying woman vows to leave her vast fortune to herself, to her reincarnation. "An intoxicatingly delicious inspirational read..." Review from Amazon.com. (23 out of 23 five star ratings)
Everyone knows that when you die you can’t take anything with you but if Faith McCormack had believed everything everybody told her then she would never have become one of the richest women on the planet. Lonely, bitter and suddenly faced with a fatal, incurable disease she makes a vow to take her fortune with her when she dies. Sadly, cryogenics leaves her cold but the possibility of leaving it all to herself, her next self, her reincarnation, sparks an obsession. Faith reasons that if the Tibetan Buddhists can find the Dalai Lama’s reincarnation 13 times, then surely, for the right price, they will agree to find hers once ...

Life After Death (Book 1 of After Death Trilogy)
COMPLETED! First book of the After Death Trilogy. --------------------------- My life ended with a stupid fall. My afterlife began in a monster-infested realm called Injusto. --------------------------- I always thought Death would be peaceful. An end to the struggle, the pain, the quiet exhaustion of just existing. I was so wrong. I woke up in Injusto, a realm of lost souls and terrifying creatures, and learned that death wasn't an end, but a violent, chaotic second chance. Here, survival is a daily battle, and god-like Ethereals bestow cryptic blessings that feel more like burdens. My only plan was to not die a second, even more embarrassing, time. Then he appeared. Krin, a stoic Dragon-Lord from a secret, floating sanctuary. He saved me, offering a glimpse of something I thought was lost forever: hope. My second chance is turning into an epic quest I'm not ready for. And I'm not sure I'll ever be. ========== Copyright Copyright © 2025 by Claire Burns. All rights reserved.

Shadows of the Night (Unforgiving AU) - An Afterlife SMP Story
This story is created in collaboration with MystroBlade_ This is technically a continuation of the One Life S3 story, so feel free to go read One Life S3. ---------------------------- 10 Lives, 1 Origin per life. There's a darkness brewing on the horizon. A girl, freed from a cage of darkness, but will she be safe from her dark captor? (FYI: This story was decided on LONG before I found 'The Fair and the Brave and the Good' on AO3, which I will also be taking a little inspiration from. But no, I will not be taking SlashMagpie's storyline. I'm happy with the one Mystro and I have. Just a little bit of inspiration /gen)
