Hello,

My name is Jeremiah Swanson, and I would like to offer you a free copy of my debut novel, And Death Will Seize the Doctor, Too for review . My work has appeared in Shimmer Magazine, Quantum Muse, SciFantastic as well as several other publications. (I haven’t placed at Strange Horizons yet, where I discovered your work. Came agonizingly close a couple of times and have submitted something there this week, so keep your fingers crossed for me!) I have also written articles for the Miami New Times, and have won several awards.

The plot of my story is this:
Christian Thompson has the power to heal with a touch of his hand. But the only thing more remarkable than this talent is the fact that he has no idea he has it. And, like many who have yet to discover their true purpose in life, he slogs through his days in a muted haze, feeling as if he’s a ghost in his own life, often describing the way he feels as like having amnesia, but without the forgetting. Though intelligent, he can’t find work. Though loving, he can’t find love or companionship. Though desperate and trying desperately, he simply cannot find a way out of the prison inside himself he’s been trapped in most of his life.

As time passes, those dark feelings grow in power. Unwelcome and insistent thoughts of suicide begin to plague him; he’s terrified to find himself stockpiling sleeping pills and razor blades and doing other frightening things. He fears he is close to doing something very foolish when, one day, he is approached by a man who promises an answer that will lift the weight he has been carrying for so long. But, the man explains, he cannot simply tell him the answer. That is against the rules. All he can do is guide Christian, and only if he’ll let him. Christian accepts the offer and it isn’t long before he discovers not only his talent, but perhaps also the reason he has kept it hidden from himself for so long. You see, Christian Thompson has the power to heal with the touch of his hands, but for every person he cures he must first kill someone else.

Now as he wrestles with not only having such a power but whether or not to use it, he faces the ultimate test and discovers he may not have any real choice. The road this battle leads him down will change not only his life, but perhaps the entire world forever.
I hope you are intrigued and look forward to your response.
Sincerely,
Jeremiah H. Swanson
