The Patient : Linda Thackeray
Four hundred years ago, the elven realm lost their greatest magician to the modern world. Now, they are returning to avenge the forces that took him…
When the world was known as Avalyne, humans and magical beings lived in harmony upon it. But over time, the elves retreated behind the Veil that separates the modern world from the magical realm.
In the present day, New York psychiatrist Doctor Dan Ellis finds himself treating an elderly homeless man, brought in for vandalizing the imposing Malcolm Industries building. The old man insists on calling Dan ‘War Dragon’ but can recall nothing of his own past or identity.
But Dan is not the only one interested in the old man’s treatment. Malcolm Industries are keen for Doctor Ellis to hand the petty criminal over to them, for reasons unexplained…
Meanwhile, three elven brothers slip from behind the Veil to search the world for the evil that befell their greatest protector. But all is not as it appears, and it seems their allies are every bit as concealed as their foes.
As Dan struggles to reinstate his patient’s memory, he discovers a dangerous secret that threatens not only his life, but the lives of those around him.
Can magic triumph over an invisible evil that has ruled the planet for centuries?
The Hanging by Linda Thackeray is also on Whizbuzz Books.

The FEAR-19 Pandemic : Tommy Madison
We have nothing to fear but fear itself. — Franklin Delano Roosevelt
In this book, author Tommy Madison takes a down to earth look at how the fear of COVID-19 spread faster than the virus itself.
Madison explains how the unfortunate convergence of green journalism, hatred of Donald Trump, and an unprecedented moment in time sparked a pandemic of fear, hysteria, and panic that will have long-lasting and far-reaching consequences.
He takes us through how the science was manipulated and unmasks the people who spread the misinformation. Lies, damn lies, and fake statistics created a mythical COVID boogie man that was much more dangerous than COVID itself.
Instead of “flattening the curve,” we began an epic battle with this mythical monster that led to devastating and unnecessary consequences. The book contains evidence that the lockdowns were not only ineffective but hampered the real effort of reducing COVID’s ability to spread to its most vulnerable populations.
And finally, Madison provides insight on how we can all begin to move forward and recover, so hopefully, we can learn from our mistakes and are not doomed to repeat them.
I am a firm believer in the people. If given the truth, they can be depended upon to meet any national crisis. The great point is to bring them real facts. — Abraham Lincoln

False Heroes: Held Hostage by Heritage : Christine Brandon
False Heroes: Held Hostage by Heritage is the true story of Diana, a survivor. It tells of her struggle to free herself from the bondage of her authoritative European heritage and her account of a war-ridden childhood, Germany WWII. Her story compels the reader to examine issues from their own past. It ponders the question, “Can we be held prisoners within our own souls?” This book is about reconciling the past with the present in one’s life. A liberating experience, it spans continents and conflicts.
“Diana did not know there was a tomorrow. She said her prayers at night, and did not expect to wake up in the morning. ‘If I should die before I wake…’ She never taught her children this prayer. It gave her the chills ever after.”
Diana’s story is meant to inspire the reader to ask questions on their own. It resonates with the strength one can find in the midst of adversity, challenges and despair. It’s about forging forward despite all odds, fighting for identity and freedom from a heritage that holds one hostage, as well as the chains within ones soul.
Most of us are descendants from other countries and century-old cultures, with scars and stigmas, with imprints of wars and limited choices. This story, which follows Diana for a lifetime, can be a healing experience, and a voice for many that could never speak of their most hurtful secrets. It unmasks sacred convents, religion, the ‘Good’ and the ‘Holy’, abandonment, rape, betrayal, abusive relationships, and more.
Despite subject matters that are painful to comprehend and hard to read about, this book effectively captures the reader’s heart. This book was written with the intention to help the reader find strength and resolve, courage, trust in free choices, and a better tomorrow.

Callaghan’s Rescue : Sherri Storey
Just picked up for a major motion picture deal. Nash was still in disbelief. This documentary that he had decided to make, had just been a whim, an excuse to follow Calla back to Sierra Leone. He had never imagined just how big this project would become when he had first embarked on it, how life-altering. And now he was returning, for a second time, to finish what he had started, not willing to accept the soul-crushing rejection, not able to return to his life of self-indulgence.
He was one of Hollywood’s biggest actors. He was rich and famous…and utterly miserable. All it took was returning home for a family wedding to realize just what his life was missing; her – Calla. She was the girl he had never got over, his best friend’s girl. And they had been far too young to deal with the mistakes they had made, the broken hearts, the harsh lessons… the tragedy.
Calla hasn’t been home in years, and returning for her sister’s wedding has only served to remind her why she continues to devote her life to such selfless work as a doctor in the struggling but beautiful country of Sierra Leone. The past still haunts her, the guilt of her actions so long ago still burdens her. She made a promise at 18, after that fateful night, to spend her life making a difference, making up for a life lost too soon.
Using the documentary as a guise, Nash follows her back to Freetown. But he is unprepared for the lesson in humility that awaits him from the wonderful, impoverished people there. Is it possible to find love in a place so filled with suffering and hopelessness? Can they find themselves in a country so lost?

Summer’s Lie : Deborah Court
What would happen if a middle-aged woman started getting younger?
A woman in her mid-sixties is caught up in a noxious fog that results from a chemical plant explosion near Toronto. Some people fall seriously ill. Of those, the only survivor is a woman who is taken to hospital, unconscious and gravely ill. As she recovers, two things become clear: she has lost her memory, and she is getting younger. The team of doctors who guide her recovery name her Jane. Among the doctors is a geneticist who finds a chromosomal anomaly in Jane which he feels is the key to her survival and her astonishing, unprecedented age reversal. He becomes obsessed with studying her, dreaming of being the scientist who discovers the secret to age reversal. To accomplish this, he needs continued study of Jane’s progress and of her tissues.
Jane does not reveal that she has recovered her memory. She escapes the hospital as a woman in her mid-thirties, taking on a new identity and living a new life as a waitress. She receives help from a surprising source who is not revealed until late in the novel. She stays one step ahead of the pursuing geneticist, and at the end of the novel, she leaves Canada and escapes to an unknown future in the UK.
If you love a good mystery, and if you love palindromes and rhyme (Jane’s obsessions) you will love this fascinating, entertaining book.
The exciting sequel, When Bodies Fall, will be out in September, 2020. Watch for it!
When Bodies Fall and The Reason for Time by Deborah Court are also on Whizbuzz Books.

Rebel : T.L. Davis
Lane Daniels is a cowboy in a rapidly urbanizing area of Colorado in the 1970’s.
He is jealous of his time and hates school, despite the fact that he is quite good at it. That doesn’t mean his heart beats for anything other than the countryside and the freedom of isolation.
But, high school is filled with irrational classes and strict rules and that pushes him to embark on a Kerouacian Journey into adulthood in the summer of 1978. He encounters unscrupulous bosses and a drug-addicted philosopher along the way until he comes to realize he must return home, but even that is fraught with peril.
