Review & Description

Brilliant pre-med student Amoreena Daniels needs money. Desperately. Her mother is dying of cancer and her medical insurance has run out. When a seemingly perfect women’s clinic offers Amoreena a generous payment for service as a surrogate mother, Amoreena thinks her prayers have been answered. But then—much too early—her baby begins to move.

The strange dreams, another surrogate’s mysterious death and a drug-addicted former medical intern confirm Amoreena’s worst suspicions: there is something terribly wrong with the pregnancy. Amoreena embarks on a dangerous journey to uncover the truth behind the endless battery of genetic tests, sonograms and frightened patients, only to discover that she has unwittingly become a pawn in a high-stakes game of biomedical experimentation.

GARGOYLES is the first book in the sci-fi RESURRECTION TRILOGY series. PLAGUE is book two and RESURRECTION book three.

GARGOYLES--approx 106,000 words/400 pages

Alan Nayes is the author of the love story, BARBARY POINT, and the horror/thriller, THE UNNATURAL.

Review & Description

When a local eccentric appears at Ellie Hasting's cottage door whispering that she's seen a body, Ellie, a summer resident of the rural mountain village of Hummingbird Falls, doesn't take her seriously. But when the discovery of a dead woman at the bottom of the magnificent falls points to murder, Ellie is deputized by the town's two-man police force to help with the investigation.
Then she finds the second body.

Some secrets stay buried for generations, especially in isolated tourist towns like this. But now something dangerous is rattling the foundations of this scenic place. Ellie has growing suspicions, but isn't sure whom she can trust, especially as pounding rains and flooding create a disaster that is pushing everybody together...including a killer waiting for the right moment to silence Ellie for good.

Review & Description

« Bourdes à l’Hôpital » est un recueil d’anecdotes authentiques, drôles, insolites ou parfois même catastrophiques, commises par des étudiants en médecine et personnels hospitalier durant l’exercice de leur profession, ainsi que par des patients.
« Bourdes à l’Hôpital » n’est donc pas un livre exclusivement humoristique, mais plus encore un étonnant témoignage des réalités délibérément cachées ou simplement ignorées de la profession médicale, souvent parce que trop pénible ou ayant entraîné des conséquences graves. Les anecdotes de ce livre montrent également la surprenante ignorance de l’individu moyen vivant et ayant été élevé dans un pays culturellement avancé.
Les professionnels de la santé étant assez réticents à s’exprimer à propos de ces deux derniers points, la plupart des anecdotes de ce recueil ont été rapportées par des étudiants en médecine ayant assumé les fonctions de stagiaire, d’externe et d’internes en milieux hospitalier. Outre sa vocation récréative, ce recueil intéressera tous ceux qui se destinent à une carrière médicale et qui souhaite en savoir plus sur les aspects parfois pénibles des métiers d’infirmier, de sage-femme, de médecin généraliste et spécialisé, ainsi que de chirurgien.
Tous les termes et acronymes spécifiques au milieu hospitalier cités dans ce livre sont assortis d’explications accessibles au néophyte.

ATTENTION : certaines des anecdotes de cet ouvrage peuvent heurter les sensibilités en raison des détails de nature anatomique ou autre de celles-ci. Age minimum recommandé par l’auteur : 18 ans.

Nombre de pages au format livre papier : 237 pages.
