I have Norm Ornstein's and Thomas Mann's "It's Even Worse Than You Think". In my car I have "In the Garden of the Beasts". One is about the radical right-wing of the Republican Party supporting ideology over country. The other is about the ultra right-wing conservatives in Germany in 1933 and their insistence upon ideology or you get beat up. In both cases I find myself talking to the books as I would a TV news report that might drive me crazy. I just finished Sheehan's "Picture This" and Patrick Rothfuss's "The Name of the Wind" and its sequel "The Wise Man's Fear". I am now waiting for the next book;I am doing the same for all of my favorite authors: waiting. These include Bernard Cornwell, Michael Connolley, Neil Gaimon, George Martin, Jaqueline Sheehan, Robert McCammon, Catherine Schine, David Baldacci, John Grisham, and Richard Dawkins. There are others. If you want a more complete list you can ask me. If you have suggestions for new authors to try, let me know. I am old-school in the sense that I prefer the book which needs no batteries or recharging. I could insulate my house with the stacks of books I have accumulated.

My book is entitled, "Misunderstood: Healing Jason Sutter". The story is about a 13 year old who finds himself misdiagnosed as psychotic, heavily drugged, and bereft of family. What the doctors have missed is that the boy is a telepath. How did this happen? Was it magic? I will tell Jason's story of how he gets out from under the drugs and steps back into life after being launched out of his normal life for his own survival. He will make friends and find enemies. He is not the only one who can do what he does. The basis for the existence of these abilities will be folded into the story. The science will bob along in the back ground. I look forward to making this a fun story to read with the understanding that it could have happened. We will see.Jay Sherfey
