New book: The Healer by Christoph Fischer and a boxset you won’t want to miss.

Hi all:

As you know, on Fridays I bring you new books and authors. Today I bring you a writer who’s visited us quite a few times and who’s a great blogger and reviewer. Christoph Fischer. I’ll let you check his author page. And don’t miss the big piece of news at the end!

I’m very intrigued by his newest book as I’ve really loved Sebastian but so far my reading list hasn’t caught up yet. But I hope you might be able to get to it before me, because the subject matter is fascinating.

The Healer by Christoph Fischer

The Healer

When advertising executive Erica Whittaker is diagnosed with terminal cancer, western medicine fails her. The only hope left for her to survive is controversial healer Arpan. She locates the man whose touch could heal her but finds he has retired from the limelight and refuses to treat her. Erica, consumed by stage four pancreatic cancer, is desperate and desperate people are no longer logical nor are they willing to take no for an answer. Arpan has retired for good reasons. casting more than the shadow of a doubt over his abilities. So begins a journey that will challenge them both as the past threatens to catch up with him as much as with her. Can he really heal her? Can she trust him with her life? And will they both achieve what they set out to do before running out of time?

I prepare my posts a few days in advance when I can, and on the same week when the post was due to come out I read one by Christoph about his new book.

In Search of a Revolution by Christoph Fischer. Out on 26th March
In Search of a Revolution by Christoph Fischer. Out on 26th March

In Search of the Revolution is currently available in preorder here.

In 1918 young Zacharias Nielsen boards a ship in Copenhagen to join the Red Guards in the Finnish Civil War.Encouraged by an idolised teacher with communist leanings, he follows the call for help from his Nordic Comrades, despite his privileged background.
His best friend, Ansgar, has opposing political ideals to Zacharias but, for his own personal reasons, finds himself soon stuck in the Scandinavian North with Zacharias and Raisa, a Finnish nurse who helps them in their new life.
Through the years that follow the brotherly war the trio see the political landscape in Finland and Europe change as Communists and Fascists try to make their mark and attempt to change the world order.
Our heroes must find their own personal and ideological place in these turbulent times as friendship, honour, idealism and love triangles bring out some personal truths.

The book spans almost thirty years of history and the various Finnish conflicts: Civil War, Winter War, Continuation War and the Lapland War. Watch the political and personal self discovery of characters in search of their own revolution.

Just in case  you want more information on the book, including an excerpt, I leave you the link to Christoph’s post. And if you don’t know his blog, I recommend it. You’ll have great insights into his writing, his work, and also the many books he reviews. He’s always hard at work not only with his own books but promoting those of others.

Christoph is an avid reader and get reviewer too and he seems to have a big supply of stories in different genres yet to come. This one is definitely on a very intriguing topic. Have a great weekend Laurie!

I’ve read one book in 6 months 😦 and haven’t written a word, story wise in the same time. Things must change. My weekend is good so far Olga.

For what I’ve read you’ve had a bit of a time. I’ve been lucky that I’ve managed to carry on reading and it’s helped me a fair deal. I did participate in NaNoWriMo in November and wrote the draft of the third novel in my series but since I’ve been working on it and translating…Maybe start slowly and build up if you feel up to it. Audiobooks? I wonder if they help with concentration or are more distracting…

I’ll probably be somewhere with very limited connection for a while over the summer so will try and make a concerted effort to catch up on some reading and writing Sarah. I shouldn’t mention connection to you…

Olga, I loved Conditions and the rest look great. I just read 3 P.C. Zick books and I love her!!! Great selection of books!

Thanks Colleen. I have Conditions in my to be read list and I think it’s pushing closer to the top as I’ve been intrigued by it since I read Christoph’s posts before he published it. And I think the boxed set is such a great option to discover many choice authors in one go…I keep hearing great things about P.C.Zick so I’ll have to make sure she’s also going up…

Thanks Teagan. I know you follow Christoph and have been his guest (and know he’s a great reviewer). I hope you have a great weekend (and Friday the 13th isn’t too scary…unless you want it to be).

Long ago I decided that Friday the 13th was a lucky day. Too bad I don’t have a DVD handy of the old Friday the 13th TV series — In the 13th we had not to long ago, i watched it to celebrate. 😈 😀

Then you’ll enjoy the new one coming at the end of the month. I was very impressed with Sebastian because he has a beautiful way of bringing the historical context into the story and he’s very well informed. Sometimes one reads historical books that seem to shoehorn the events, but Christoph doesn’t. I must put you on my list for a future post as I’ve read very good things about the Bridge of Deaths.

Thanks Tess. So many of the names in the boxset are of authors I’ve been thinking of reading for a while…Christoph is really hard-working and a great supporter of other writers. Have a great weekend!
