Dangerous Aspects : age old practice of story telling

My name is; Colin Winston Aldridge I am the author of the thought provoking novel; "Dangerous Aspects" that perfectly matches the changing mood throughout the vast majority of the English speaking world and beyond.
Dangerous Aspects is a book like no other. To spread the word about a new paradigm of healing the author, Colin Winston Aldridge, has chosen to return to the age old practice of story telling. And what a story Dangerous Aspects is. Truly an exciting read from start to finish that builds in pace with the turn of every page. Yet the content is far from mindless. As the story and progress of the protagonist unfolds so does an enchanting and yet totally practical outline of a new paradigm of healing. Energy medicine is very much a 21st century happening in the western world and with this story we get the opportunity to take the authors clever pathway right into the modality at work in real circumstances. Not only do we get the look and feel of this amazing new healing modality the author also weaves into the story a coaching manual so that what we get is two books in one. This departure from the self help genre whilst at the same time elaborating the need to find healing through a gifted story such as this is a magical use of the novel medium.

The key element of the story itself is the burning question: do we really know the person we live with? Misunderstandings and secrets are everywhere. Sometimes we just need to scratch the surface to find them out. What we may find could make us fall from the face of earth. Still, at the same time it could make us discover a hidden side of ourselves, tougher than we thought. These strong feelings run underneath this double layered novel.

A breathtaking plot in the first layer leads us into a story of drug racketeering, kidnappings and murders. The story starts out with our protagonist, Sondra Ackerman, uncovering some deeply disguised and well hidden secrets about her drug dealing husband Jack. To tell where this story ends up would be to deny you the excitement of the ending, an ending that twists and turns up to the very last paragraph. The layer beneath takes us on a journey to explore a new paradigm of alternative therapy and the powerful effect it can have us and our vibrational harmony and wellbeing.

This story is thought provoking on several levels and rarely does a novel travel the distances Dangerous Aspects does to both thrill and inform the reader. Story telling is rarely this gifted!

Switchback

Unmasking a Killer: New Book Entangles Detectives, the Mafia and a Psychopath in the Wake of a Grisly Crime

A Dallas family is brutally murdered, and the evidence does not point to the killer. The investigators have their hands full as they begin to unravel the events. Author Will Pettijohn invites mystery lovers to experience the thrill of the chase among a collection of intriguing characters in “Switchback: A Story Of A Killer’s Fears” (published by AuthorHouse).

“Switchback” opens as a mountainous Irish hit man named Colt scrubs blood off his face after doing a job. His 5-year-old chirps a cheery hello, oblivious to her father’s work. His inner struggle over the monster he has become returns to the surface. Meanwhile, Detective Rick Wise and his partner, T-bone, arrive on a crime scene so brutal it sends hardened forensics team members running from the house. A killer descended on a young family and no one was spared in the massacre.

These two events frame the frayed worlds of Wise, the diligent detective, and Colt, the hit man with a conscience. A suspenseful game of cat and mouse ensues in a city ravaged by organized crime. Many unsavory citizens of Dallas have met their demise under Colt’s cold gaze. But the family massacre under Wise’s investigation had to have been committed by someone with no heart, and readers realize that Colt follows a code of ethics, however twisted it may be. The plot thickens.

When FBI agents Young and Archer arrive to beef up the investigation, Wise grudgingly accepts their help. One by one, local informants step up to offer scant information. For their trouble, they come up missing. As Wise becomes consumed by the mystery, Colt is consumed by his own sins. Unknown to both men, their worlds are about to collide.

Pettijohn lures readers to an unexpected conclusion with a spine-tingling trail of chilling details designed to entice mystery lovers and readers who seek a fast-paced page-turner.

About the Author: Born and raised in the small west Texas town of Snyder, Will Pettijohn began working at age 12 while still in school. He is divorced and lives with his two teenage sons. “My family is the most important thing in my life,” says Pettijohn, who began writing after his marriage ended. Captivated by mystery-suspense stories, he soon penned “Switchback,” his first book. Pettijohn plans to continue the adventures of Detective Wise with two more books.
