His second novel, At The Edge Of The Stairs, is a paranormal romance that tells of a love story of a woman who has died in the arms of her fiancé. As she lay dying, she vows to come back to him and please wait for her which he does. One night, years later, she does return to him as he sits at the bar where their first date took place. She puts money in the juke box playing the very first song they danced to. That is how he knows it was her.
