2021 Best Book Awards

The professor was seen at the crime scene shortly after giving a lecture on the other side of the country. Did he use the laws of nature to commit an impossible murder?

When the FBI arrested Professor Eldridge for the murder of his archrival, they relied primarily on eyewitnesses’ accounts and a security camera. The professor had been on the other side of the country when the murder took place, where he gave a lecture to hundreds of students. Or was he?

A revered Native American healer and shaman trains his only grandson, Cheveyo, to follow in his footsteps. Cheveyo is a curious boy who is on a quest for his life’s purpose. After high school, Cheveyo goes to the university, and that’s where he experiences the promises, depths, and risks of love.

Thomas Edison and the Purgatory Equation by David Church

The untold saga of Thomas Edison’s greatest invention – the resurrector – a machine designed to penetrate the barrier between life and death. Edison is accompanied on his metaphysical quest by John Dawkins, his heroic, young assistant with a tragic past; Emily Auburn, a Ziegfeld Follies showgirl, and her wise-cracking rehearsal pianist, the teenage George Gershwin. Destiny propels them from the mind-boggling marvels of Edison’s secret laboratory, to the Captiva Island compound of the Seminole Indians, to the frontlines of the Great War. Their journey climaxes in a dual finale; a go-for-broke aerial mission to foil the Germans’ surprise attack on American forces, and a decisive struggle for the soul of mankind in the dark heart of the dead zone.

Ice Out by Susan Speranza

Francesca Bodin has a near-perfect life as an accomplished music teacher and professional flutist living in the Vermont countryside with her husband Ben, and their four-year old daughter, Addie. This ends suddenly when a snowmobiling accident traps the three of them in a frozen lake. Ben, after escaping onto the ice, leaves her and Addie to die.

Francesca believes she sees their dog pull Addie from the lake and drag her into the nearby woods. Desperate to help her daughter, she crawls from the icy waters and follows them. Once she enters the forest, however, she finds herself trapped in a sinister, dream-like world where night never ends, where Addie’s whereabouts remain hidden from her, and where she encounters a group of women who, like Francesca, have been left to die and now seek to unleash their revenge on those who have harmed them. When they have Ben in their sights, Francesca realizes that if she is ever to escape this nightmare and save her daughter, she must first save the husband who abandoned them.

My Famous Brain by Diane Wald

Finalist
Fiction: Visionary
2021 Best Book Awards

“My brain was famous, but I was not. Not every gifted child invents a pollutant-free fuel, paints a masterpiece, or finds the cure for cancer,” Jack MacLeod tells us. “Some of us just live out our lives.” Jack died in 1974; now, he’s ready to narrate his story from beyond the grave. Jack’s prodigious memory, which allows him to memorize books, and his penchant for psychic connections give him unusual insights into the events of his past life and make him fiercely curious about his current state of existence. Jack immerses us in interconnected tales of his childhood participation in a research study on the intellectually gifted, his dual career as a clinical psychologist and university professor, his participation in the unmasking of an unscrupulous colleague, his long-term health issues, his brief but life-changing love affair with a student, his deep friendship with another man, and his eventual acceptance and celebration of the circumstances of his fate. How Jack dies, and how he deals with the murder of someone close to him, mirrors how he has lived and grown, and marks the significance of everyone and everything that ultimately brings him to yet another level of brilliance.




Rosa Mundi by Gerald R. Stanek

Finalist
Fiction: Visionary
2021 Best Book Awards

As a hospice worker, Tanika is accustomed to the unsettling poignancy of death, but when she finds herself at the bedside of visionary self-help guru Orina Baladin, she is changed forever. Tanika gets that “falling up” feeling, and starts seeing things that others don’t see: auras, glowing orbs, the net of light underpinning all things. Orina’s followers feel like their whole world is dying. Her grandson, biosystem engineer Bennett is taking it especially hard. Some say he’s just grieving, but even his beautiful childhood friend Willow Acharya worries his depression is so severe he is losing touch with reality. Tanika sees something more in Bennett’s quiet manner, and he seems to see something in her. Before she passes Orina gives Bennett a centuries-old journal and whispers something in his ear about “the crossing” and “the river.” Despite his father’s protests, he sets off on a mountain road trip to fulfill her dying wish. Tanika goes along, to keep him grounded. Then a shaman appears from beyond the veil. The journal gives up its secrets.

Finalist
Fiction: Visionary
2021 Best Book Awards

The Organ Pipes of the Soul: A Theodicy of Love and Reincarnation in a Desperate Afterlife is a story about good and evil, reincarnation, and meeting God — a story about second chances and second-death in a dangerous afterlife where the dead must reincarnate or perish — set in an afterlife that is under attack from a man who wants to end reincarnation using a machine that can create anything, and from a rogue caretaker who wants more than the shadowy immortality Arthur’s afterlife can offer him. It’s a theodicy about discovering destiny, about the moral dilemma of reincarnation, about faith and doubt and the victory of love.

The Organ Pipes of the Soul is a story about Arthur, an amnesiac who washes up on the Isle of the Dead, only to discover as he recovers his memories that he is largely responsible for much of what goes on in this afterlife and why everything is going wrong. It’s a story of his search for the one love he waited thirty lifetimes to make his own.
