-Fyodor Dostoevsky, in a letter to his brother M.M. Dostoevsky, August 16, 1839

Dr. Richard Chase is a renowned physician at the peak of his career. He is betrayed by a jealous colleague and becomes obsessed with seeking revenge. Dr. Chase’s actions threaten to destroy all that he holds dear.

Dr. Thomas Haydn, a well-respected physician in the Boston area, enjoys a busy, fulfilling practice as a hospice provider. While caring for an actively dying patient with cancer, he agrees to reluctantly perform a most unusual task.

"A riveting and suspensful tale that kept me truly intrigued from beginning to end. It illustrates some extreme consequences and conditions that anger, vengence and guilt can provoke, but it also demonstrates the potential/ capacity of the human spirit to forgive, heal, and grow through great adversity."

Amanda Leereview of "unhinged" the novel

"My wife and I give UNHINGED five stars!!! I would read it to her each night before going to sleep. Needless to say, we lost hours of sleep because we could not put this fantastic novel down! It is filled with amazing twists and turns you do not expect. The author well depicts the characters and the environment involved."

Jean Gullepereview of "unhinged" the novel

"I don't normally enjoy fiction, but this book was as real as it gets to anyone with a conscience and compassion, BUT who is also pressured by predefined social or professional codes of conduct. I found myself constantly "role playing" the characters, sharing and mentally grappling with their human journeys towards "doing the right thing."

Anne Uptonreview of "The Imperfect Offering" the novel

"Well written book that combined family intrigue along with the decisions that Palliative Care physicians make on a day to day basis with patients, family and their own partners. Thanks for getting this to print. Well done."
