Fatal Memories breaks the mold of medical thrillers by combining compelling, multi-layered characters with far-reaching, science-based technology and vivid cinematic prose to reach a thrilling and inevitable conclusion:

 

We are what we were.

 

The MEG - a revolutionary brain scanner - is the culmination of Dr. Anne Powell's brilliant career as a neuro-psychiatrist. Designed to accomplishing in seconds what conventional psychotherapy can only hope to achieve in years, the MEG could change the course of psychiatric treatment forever - if it doesn't kill her first.

 

A clash with the FDA forces Powell to leave Boston and continue her research at the world-renowned Pavlov Institute in Moscow. There, a laboratory accident reignites a centuries-old conflict, and threatens to return a blood-thirsty dictator to power.

 

Powell soon realizes that the MEG is capable of far more than brain-scanning. She is forced to confront past and present, reality and memory, love and hate in the ultimate battle to save herself and thwart a plot that could hurl a newly democratic Russia back to its totalitarian past.

House of Northern Lights is a stunning journey into a world few outsiders have ever seen.  A remote and wild place filled with shamanistic magic and mystery, a it is also  a landscape of inner turmoil as an ancient culture struggles for survival in a modern-day world.

 

Author Valen Watson explores the complexity of interracial relationships, from the most intimate scale to the challenge of nation-building with her story of Elle, a city girl who escapes a troubled marriage to seek refuge in a new adventure in the Canadian wilderness.  Her journey to the Queen Charlotte Islands, in the Pacific Northwest, unfolds in unexpected ways. 

 

The Islands, logged to "bald-headedness" and reeling from cultural genocide, are a troubled place. Centuries of brutality have created an undercurrent of anger and distrust in the tiny First Nations community as they share their ancestral home with immigrants from the mainland who want to fish their waters and reap the rewards of untouched natural resources. Their struggle to regain control of their birthright complicates the deepening relationship between Elle and a Haida artist caught between protecting his heritage and a yearning for the modern world.
