All she wanted was an autograph.

He was an actor who’d starred as a doctor on a very popular TV show way back in the day, long before cable TV spawned zillions of channels.  He and his co-star appeared on the covers of dozens of fan magazines, and their public appearances drew crowds of swooning, screaming girls who became giddy at the mere sight of them.

Now, older and more mature, he was definitely still handsome, but his public appearances these days were more of the public-service variety.  He was well known as a motivational speaker for a few select causes, which was why he was here, at an autograph signing at a medical-industry conference.

She’d waited in line to meet him and he gladly signed a photo for her, after which she walked away so the next person could have her turn.

So why had he sent her the note?

 What did he want?

Geoff and Naomi are dead, and they're depressed, but when Geoff's cat Bernie dies as well, they embark on a wild journey to find it in the underworld. ***** When Geoff dies, alongside his girlfriend Naomi, they end up sharing an apartment in the Underworld as skeletons. But after a few years, Geoff starts suffering a mid-death crisis. What's the purpose of going through the motions as a skeleton if you can't really live? Then he gets word that his cat, Bernie, just died and he can collect him and bring him home! Geoff and Naomi hurry to get Bernie only to discover that, due to a clerical error, their cat has been lost. With the hunt for Bernie giving new purpose to Geoff's un-life, he and Naomi begin a quest to get back their cat. Battling skeleton pirates, climbing the sky ladder and facing off against the villain who took Bernie, Geoff is determined to find his purpose - or die a second time trying!
