With much affection, this book is dedicated to
Susan (Allison) Cathers,
my sister from another mother.
Thank you for thirty years
of kindness and excellence.
The year Bibi Blair turned ten, which was twelve years before Death came calling on her, the sky was a grim vault of sorrow nearly every day from January through mid-March, and the angels cried down flood after flood upon Southern California.

The Girl Who Said No to Death

Bibi Blair is a fierce, funny, dauntless young woman - whose doctor says she has one year to live.

She replies, "We'll see."

Her sudden recovery astonishes medical science.

An enigmatic woman convinces Bibi that she escaped death so that she can save someone else.  Someone named Ashley Bell.

But save her from what, from-whom?  And who is Ashley Bell?  Where is she?

Bibi's obsession with finding Ashley sends her on the run from threats both mystical and worldly, including a rich and charismatic cult leader with terrifying ambitions.

Here is an eloquent, riveting, brilliantly paced story with an exhilarating heroine and a twisting, ingenious plot filled with staggering surprises.  Ashley Bell is a new milestone in literary suspense from the long-acclaimed master.

Dean Koontz, the author of many #1 New York Times bestsellers, lives in Southern California with his wife, Gerda, their golden retriever, Anna, and the enduring-spirit of their golden, Trixie.

Suzy Jackson is an actress and voiceover artist who has been heard on numerous audiobooks, commercials, video games, and cartoons.  An Audie Awards and SOVAS Voice Arts Awards nominee, Suzy was named one of lest Voices by AudioFile magazine.  She is the proud executive director of Opening Act, a nonprofit that brings free theater programs to NYC's most underserved school: www.openingact.org.

  • I try to maintain page numbers for audiobooks even though obviously there aren't any. I do this to keep track of pages read and I try to use the Kindle version page numbers for this.
  • Synopses marked with an asterisk (*) were generated by an AI. There aren't a lot since this is an iffy way to do it - AI seems to make stuff up.
  • When specific publication dates are unknown (ie prefixed with a "Cir"), I try to get the publication date that is closest to the specific printing that I can.
  • When listing chapters, I only list chapters relevant to the story. I will usually leave off Author Notes, Indices, Acknowledgements, etc unless they are relevant to the story or the book is non-fiction.
  • Page numbers on this site are for the end of the main story. I normally do not include appendices, extra material, and other miscellaneous stuff at the end of the book in the page count.
