Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Equal parts hilarious and heartbreaking, this inventive queer romance asks what it means to be truly happy. Tegan Masters is dead. She’s sixteen and she’s dead and she’s standing in the parking lot of the Marybelle Motor Lodge, the single most depressing motel in all of New Jersey and the place where Tegan spent what she remembers as the worst weekend of her life. In the front office, she meets Zelda, an annoyingly cute teen angel with a snarky sense of humor and an epic set of wings. According to Zelda, Tegan is in heaven, where every person inhabits an exact replica of their happiest memory. For Tegan, Zelda insists, that place is the Marybelle—creepy minigolf course, sad breakfast buffet, filthy swimming pool, and all. Tegan has a few complaints about this. When Tegan takes these concerns up with Management, she and Zelda are sent on a whirlwind tour through Tegan’s memories, in search of clues to help her understand what mattered most to her in life. If Zelda fails to convince Tegan (and Management) that the Marybelle was the site of Tegan's perfect moment, both girls face dire eternal consequences. But if she succeeds…they just might get their happily-ever-afterlife. A tender and edgy take on coming of age in the afterlife. "Filled with depth and wit, despite its dark tone . . . exceptionally well written . . . A worthy read about a short life brimming with possibility." —Kirkus Reviews, Starred Review "Plozza (Meet Me at the Moon Tree) strikes an expert balance between poignancy and irreverence, tackling topics such as death, parental abandonment, and self-worth in this queer romantic comedy that’s as tender as a bruise." —Publishers Weekly, Starred Review

Book excerpt: A Perfect Moment is indeed an interesting and adventurous journey through the sometimes sordid, and often awesome moments of its protagonists. From the charming fantasies of an elusive dream world to the gruesome and often nightmarish experiences of those not so enchanting moments where we come to understand that, "Good comes from the bad. It always does. You just need the patience to wait and ride it out." Without a doubt, A Perfect Moment is insightful and imaginative in the way it develops a divergent and non-linear path through time, while deflecting conscious memory in its very moments of becoming.BOOKS IN REVIEW by Janet KochCopyright © Arena Magazine
