Wish You Were Here: Heavenly Encounters Book II by Joyce S. Isaacson:
5 Star Review Headline: Search Goes On In The Afterlife!

Must find me marker on Level 1 to continue me search.”

… “Why is there this strange white big building with the columns on each side with steps leading to these big bronze doors?” I stood with half-closed eyes in front of a structure and looked all around me and into the distance. “Oh, this happened before, where I could see other houses and stores when I entered a building and then, when I left, I was standing in a void, except for…”
I think you will enjoy this second metaphysical novel by Author Joyce Isaacson. Joyce worked for The Chicago Tribune Editorial Department for ten years. Her love of fantasy, and the paranormal, coupled with her fascination with rock ‘n’ roll, compelled her to write her ‘Wish You Were Here, A Cosmic Rock Fantasy series.
