How I'm Spending My Afterlife

Alton Carver has a problem: He’s under federal investigation for embezzling and securities fraud. But instead of spending the next three to five years behind bars, he’s got a plan: stage his own death, take the money he stole and light out for Central America, leaving behind wife Nicole and daughter Clara. But when he sticks around town long enough to watch his own funeral, he's shocked to discover that the life he’s leaving behind isn’t the life he thought he had.

Alton is forced to reconsider his self-image as a respected and admired pillar of the legal community. And when he sees Nicole in the arms of another man, Alton decides to postpone his run for the border. What comes next is a slow-burn train wreck, a tale of self-deception, revenge and bad decisions.
