Some Interesting Observations

I had one recent observation about one of my characters in my short story "Lonely Pines". Dr. Hayley Gardner is a fascinating study in a character who is paralyzed by disbelief--he is warned of a tragedy by someone who he can't believe--and you probably wouldn't either--so he does not ring the warning bell. That is the explanation (to the careful reader) of his apparent lack of heroism in this multiple layered character. I love a complicated character--not a cardboard one.

Hortensia I haven't read the book but I've added it to the list of books to read. People are complicated, we are full of lively personalities; some intriguing, some aren't but all types make-up this amazing person.

Thank you Hortensia, I strongly urge you to read this story and also my new paranormal thriller (also on Audible.com as an audiobook) "Subversion"--where life truly imitates art. It is about a massive African pandemic--and the race to defeat it, with twists and turns that I hope will astound you. cheers, r. manolakas Subversion Life on the Edge of Eternity by R. Manolakas
