According to Charlie Braun's mother, he's been trying to make his exit from the world since the day he was born-with the umbilical cord wrapped around his neck. Charlie and Mel have spent their lives together bickering, Scrabbling, and discussing almost everything. Now that she's passed on to the next life, he feels free, completely free, for the first time. He checks himself into Life Support Systems, LLC, for an "unspecified chronic malady" and prepares for his own final exit.
Yet others don't want to let him go, or do they? When Charlie strikes up a quick friendship with Maeve, the brash representative from the suicide hotline, he wonders about her motivations. His neighbor, Grace, in addition to making surprising sexual advances, dishes out uninvited advice about having gumption and navigating life's detours. And although Charlie never wavers in his desire to punch his ticket for the afterworld, he wonders about his ability to make good on this long-standing promise to himself.
Posthumously Yours is a novel by an anonymous author, a final missive, an explanation, an exploration of one man's experience of the world. With acerbic wit and an intuitive, infectious, and disarmingly humorous voice, Charles D. Braun has written a stunning testament to a life less lived that will have every reader contemplating the biggest questions we have as humans and the author's insistence on living (and dying) under his own terms.
A portion of the proceeds for this novel will be donated to the American Foundation of Suicide Prevention (afsp.org). Are you in a crisis? Call or text 988 or text TALK to 741741

Charles D. Braun is the pseudonym of the author who, in six decades of life, never read a word of Shakespeare, watched Casablanca, Star Wars, or porn, bought a lottery ticket, pulled an all-nighter or experienced a hangover, owned a pet (or even a plant), or wrote a love letter...and whose final act was to leave his novel in trusted hands for publication.
