The Funeral Planner

Maddy Banks, the heroine of Lynn Isenberg's The Funeral Planner (Red Dress Ink), leaves her best friend's burial forlorn--but with a solid business plan. In a carpe diem moment, she comes up with the idea for Lights Out Enterprises, a company that enables its clients to plan their own funerals before they go. In an equally enterprising move, Lifetime Television has optioned the rights to Isenberg's book to develop into a television series. As part of the deal, the author-entrepreneur will also write the pilot and act as co-executive producer. Isenberg came to believe so strongly in her character's vision, that she has followed in the footsteps of Maddy Banks and launched the real life business at www.LightsOutEnterprises.com as well as writing and publishing two spin-off books; "Grief Tributes: The Definitive Guide to Life Celebrations" and "Grief Wellness: The Definitive Guide to Dealing with Loss". Isenberg's novels and grief guidebooks are available as e-books and print-on-demand at www.LightsOutEnterprises.com.
