Some time ago, I was watching a newsmagazine interview with dozens of widows who had lost their husbands on 9/11. One of them mentioned dialing her husband's cell phone even after she knew he was gone, just so she could hear his voice on the outgoing message. That not only had me in tears, but it immediately sparked an idea in this writer's brain: what if a widow kept calling her dead husband's voice mail...and one day, he answered?
That's exactly what happens to down-and-out Long Island mom Annie Harlowe in HELLO, IT'S ME. To her shock, she's able to reach her husband Andre via telephone somewhere in the Great Beyond-just as she finds herself falling for wealthy Hamptonite Thom Brannock. Throw in two lovable children, a pair of quirky pals, a bevy of bossy blue bloods, a missing centuries-old buried treasure chest, and a looming hurricane, and you've got a ghostly romantic comedy with unexpected heart and soul.
