A transplant patient possesses eerie knowledge of his organ donor's most intimate secret. This could change everything.WINNER: Pinnacle Book Achievement Award - Best Literary FictionRECOGNIZED: IndieReader's Best Reviewed Books of 2017 - Literary FictionSILVER MEDAL: Independent Publisher Book Awards (IPPY) - Best Cover - FictionFINALIST: National Indie Excellence Awards - Contemporary Novel, General FictionFINALIST: Next Generation Indie Book Awards - Religious FictionDoctors tend to the needs of their patients, but patients give meaning to the lives of their doctors. So it is for Cullen Brodie, a twice-divorced California nephrologist, and Ennis Willoughby, a troubled cross-dresser whose life is saved by a rare heart-and-kidney transplant.Cullen's bitter disbelief in the afterlife is tested when Ennis begins to exhibit tastes and characteristics uncannily similar to those of his female organ donor-whose first name Ennis inexplicably knows. When Ennis becomes convinced that the donor's soul has inhabited him, Cullen sides with Ennis's psychiatrist, who tells Ennis he has subconsciously confused his emerging transgender personality with the imagined characteristics of his female donor.While his psychiatrist coaxes forth Ennis's female side, Cullen is summoned to the South Pacific by an old lover for a reckoning of their past. On the island paradise of Rarotonga, he is forced to confront the heartrending truth about a tragedy that destroyed their college romance-a tragedy Cullen blames on religious zealotry.Filled with resentment over what he has learned, Cullen returns to Southern California determined to shatter Ennis's delusion of ensoulment. But Ennis's eerie knowledge of his donor's greatest secret forces Cullen to consider the unimaginable: Is it possible he is witness to a verifiable incident of transmigration, tangible proof of a human soul? Or is he witness instead to the miracle of being transgender? Male and female at once, the glory of one and the glory of the other, both shining-like a parrotfish, another miracle of nature, changing gender apace, beside its glorious, ever-changing hue.MIDWEST BOOK REVIEW:"As events spiral beyond [the characters'] control, readers are introduced to a questioning process that challenges them to consider the disparate paths of personal change and the possibilities of medical and religious realms intersecting in unusual ways. All these facets, especially the winding commentary on transgender identity and evidence of a soul, could easily have become confusing, especially when given an added shot of intrigue and the elements of a medical mystery; but under Barager's pen the logic of events and the evolution of personalities and new beliefs are impeccably drawn, and fascinating."Evolved Publishing presents a fascinating glimpse into a world where medicine and religion/philosophy intersect, in a literary novel sure to fascinate, and quite possibly to entice you to examine your own beliefs.More Great Literary Fiction from Evolved Publishing: The Daughter of the Sea and the Sky by David Litwack Hannah's Voice by Robb Grindstaff Enfold Me by Steven Greenberg

"I happen to believe that genius makes people weird," a storyteller once said, explaining how Johnny Appleseed could be at once so peculiar and so profound.A Novel based upon the True Mythology of Johnny AppleseedBetween 1801 and 1812, Ohio and the Old Northwest territory runs wild and brutal, with a fragile peace, savage living conditions, and the laws of civilization far away. Still, settlers stake everything they own on the chance of building better lives for themselves in this new frontier.John Chapman--aka Johnny Appleseed--knows this land better than any white man. Everywhere he goes, he shares the "Fresh News Straight from Heaven," which he hears right from the voices of angels who chat with him regularly. God had promised him personally that he could build peace by growing fruit.Convincing people of that vision, though, is no easy task. Most folks consider him mad.This land teems with a miscellaneous assemblage of soldiers, scoundrels, freebooters, runaway slaves, circuit riders, and religious cultists. Ambitious politicians, like Aaron Burr and William Henry Harrison, dream of creating a new empire there. Meanwhile, a reformed drunkard emerges among the Shawnee as a Prophet, one who spoke with the Great Spirit, Waashaa Monetoo. Along with his brother, the war chief Tecumseh, the Prophet begins building an Indian coalition to take back their land.Even while the tensions mount, Johnny, with angels urging him on, skates blithely through the crossfire and turmoil, spreading his message, impervious to the mockery and derision being heaped upon him. Finally, however, his faith is challenged when war breaks out in the land, leading to the bloody battle of Tippecanoe between Harrison's army and the Shawnee Prophet's warriors, and ultimately to the declaration of the War of 1812. A violent massacre near the northern Ohio town of Mansfield leaves its citizens terrified and vulnerable.In a desperate act of faith, Johnny promises the people that he can save them. Thus, he dashes off on a midnight run, seeking to spread peace across a land on the brink of war. With so many lives at stake, Johnny must confront the ultimate test of his convictions."Gregg Sapp presents a superbly researched, highly entertaining, and thoroughly enjoyable historically based novel surrounding the exploits of Johnny Appleseed; intertwined with some of the most noteworthy persons and events of the time period. If your initial reaction to the topic is that it may be rather trite---I assure you it is NOT. The historical references and characterizations are intricately researched, creating an exceptional description of lifestyles and living conditions in the cruel harsh frontier at the onset of the nineteenth century." ~ Tim TerryEVOLVED PUBLISHING PRESENTS an adult story of one of America's endearing historical figures: Johnny Appleseed.

The common people have become the currency, outlaws have shifted to mercenaries, and freedom is no more than a thought of the past.[Young Adult, Fantasy, Action & Adventure]Fear, violence, slavery-throughout his adult life, Barloc has known no other way.A quarter of a century has passed since King Sclavus decreed slavery legal in the Kingdom of Kuldaire, certain it was the only way to keep the economy strong. He created alliances with the wealthy ruling class, and cast the common folk into chains. A handful of rebellions rose, but fell almost as quickly as they began, and the concepts of freedom and peace became dusty relics of the past, a nearly forgotten dream.When Barloc is sold to Lord Harbor, his new owner offers queer promises of freedom, promises only King Sclavus can honor after a thirty-day trial. Barloc, as someone who has lost everything, or who never had anything of his own to begin with, is forced to question everything around him as he embarks on this new trial.Whom can he trust? Why has he been selected and thrown into this strange new setting? What happened to just being a slave? How can life be any different from the only way he's ever known? What is freedom, and at what cost?This is Barloc's chance-perhaps his last chance-to once and for all cast off the chains that bind him. And maybe, just maybe, he can bring others to freedom with him."KINGDOM IN CHAINS" by J.W.

Duncan Cochrane wanted to be governor... until the murder of his daughter."...a compelling picture of the Windy City when it was still in thrall to the mob and its own unique political machine." ~ Shots MagazineWhen Duncan's daughter is murdered, he blames his own political ambitions.

"This is an awesome sage of the closeness between man and nature. It shows the Indian traditions and their closeness in listening to the signs of nature." ~ Jacqueline MoorsThe peace that Shining Light and his family have enjoyed in the Land of the Tall Trees is shattered by his young daughter. Dove's dream of mustangs, and of a young American Indian boy named Singing Stone, and his family known as the Mustang People, will not let her rest.The coming of the wild mustangs blessed Singing Stone's people with a better way of life, and now these beautiful creatures are being slaughtered. Spurred on by the discovery of the yellow stone, the Hairy-Faces join with the Likes to Fight People to drive out other bands. What better way to weaken the Mustang People than to capture or kill the mustangs? Singing Stone and his family fight to protect them, but what can three do against many?"This is a powerful journey and I found the characters spoke to me. Like Circles and Spirals, it is all about tradition and valuable life lessens missing from the majority of our lives today. The human and animal bond, the respect for earth, the vital connection of all living things, and the interactions between the elders and the children is priceless. It is a spiritual journey, but an easy read. It is chock full of humour and wit and teaches us to listen and follow our hearts, so many of the things we lack in the world today, at least in my opinion." ~ LoveworksEVOLVED PUBLISHING PRESENTS the 3rd book in the extraordinary, award-winning "Shining Light's Saga" series.
