    After the initial shock of the water awakening, humanity comes together to put measures in place to ease adverse climate changes. The oceans are dying and the fresh water resources are being harvested too fast to allow replenishment. Cherry Mortinger, the limnologist behind Hayyin's enigmatic identity, works on creating a universal language for water, while Ilanda Mazandir, the neurosurgeon that successfully healed a comatose patient using crystal implants in the eyes, fights to protect her technology from being misused. Unknown to the masses, but attracted by its novelty, the crystal implants open up unexplored areas of the brain, bordering on telepathy and increased consciousness. A crystal cloud network is the next step in connecting the world in a much more considerate and empathic way.Crystal Cloud, the sequel to Water Entanglement, is a work of eco-fiction bringing to the forefront water's ability to heal us when treated with reverence and hurt us when treated with ignorance and disrespect so prevalent in our society. ungekürzt.

    The paradox of neurosurgery is that it demands perfection but is performed by the imperfect. Mistakes happen. Sometimes small, sometimes hidden, sometimes epic. Sorry is too small a word for the consequences. In The Surgeon’s Sin, Dr. Peter Jenson makes a journey toward redemption after just such a mistake.With his patient dying, his wife leaving, and his enemies denouncing his ability to practice, he begins the long journey by making a promise he shouldn’t keep to a woman he can’t refuse, and seeking the help he needs from a man he can’t trust. Anxious surgeries in Florida and gunfights in Central America result only in despair. Finally, Peter makes a mutual survival pact with his friend’s widow, a suicidal alcoholic. Together they seek a path of love and forgiveness as he faces the fulfillment of a fatal promise, an act that may cost him everything.The story is specific to one neurosurgeon, but the journey is common to us all. ungekürzt.
