FRANK, the story about the first successful brain transplant,
explores the age-old question of human identity . . . and demonstrates
the impact a single individual can have on the lives of others. Howard
Lavery was dying. The doctors couldn't help him; they couldn't even
diagnose what had gone wrong. There was only one chance, an
experimental brain transplant procedure developed by Dr. Sidney
Bernstein. Against all odds, the experiment is a success . . . of
sorts. Though alive, the essence of Howard Lavery is trapped within the
useless shell of another man's body: a man called Frank. Able to hear
and to think, and even to "speak" with the aid of a machine, Howard is
nevertheless cut off from the outside world and all his loved ones. As
Howard fights to overcome his isolation and make sense of the second
chance he has been offered, his family and friends must wrestle with
their own guilts and fears and, in the process, embarking on private
journeys as profound as Howard's.
| DON'T BE CRUEL is now available for purchase online.
Exploring the themes of fidelity and metaphysical love, DON’T
BE CRUEL follows the wildly careening adventures of Miles Miner, a
middle-aged journalist whose life is turned upside down by a five-year-old boy
who appears to hold the memories of many past lives. The child, Ian Rivard, was
born with a congenital defect that apparently allows the souls of long dead
people to communicate through him, including Miner’s father. Complicated by his
estranged wife and a new love, Miner’s struggle to understand and protect the
child forms the central conflict of the novel. Set in and around Memphis, DON’T
BE CRUEL takes the reader through the decadence of Beale Street, the
infamous cruelty of Shelby County Jail, Elvis Presley’s Graceland, the downtown
renaissance anchored by Auto Zone Park, and the rural backroads of Tennessee. | |
