Nonfiction

Date Published: September 8, 2024

The Dance is a gripping memoir that chronicles one man’s harrowing journey through the depths of medical and emotional adversity, emerging on the other side with newfound strength and hope. Set against the backdrop of the COVID-19 pandemic, the author’s life is turned upside down when he is diagnosed with Central Pontine Myelinolysis (CPM) after battling alcohol withdrawal. Paralyzed, trapped in his own body, and unable to communicate, he faces unimaginable challenges—both physical and emotional.

With raw honesty, the author recounts his time in the hospital, sharing deeply personal experiences of fear, isolation, and the surreal hallucinations that offered him a strange escape. His story is punctuated by moments of humor, such as the unlikely companionship of a loud, cocaine-loving Irish roommate, and moments of deep introspection as he navigates his darkest days.

But The Dance is more than a tale of suffering—it’s a story of survival, resilience, and the unyielding human spirit. As the author slowly regains his abilities through painstaking rehabilitation, he draws strength from his faith, his love for his son, and a simple but powerful promise: to one day dance with the woman he loves.

A testament to the power of hope, love, and faith, The Dance is an inspiring reminder that even in our darkest moments, there is always a light at the end of the tunnel.

About the Author

Frank J. Visosky Jr. is a passionate storyteller and resilient survivor, drawing inspiration from his personal journey of overcoming central pontine myelinolysis and navigating life in a nursing home during the COVID-19 pandemic. With a deep connection to his roots in New York City, Frank’s experiences are richly colored by his love for music, especially the vibrant rhythms of merengue and bachata, which he once danced to along Dyckman Street. A devoted husband and father, he made a promise to his future wife, Rose, during his recovery—a promise to one day dance again. His work captures the strength of the human spirit, the power of love, and the importance of family, often reflecting the cherished moments he spent with his son, like feeding turtles by the pond.

MY REVIEW ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Soul Dancing By Gail Priest waltzes into your mind, tap-dances through your emotions, and thrills the reader like a good Tango.

This book delivers at every level: plot, setting, and characters.

The character arc was my favorite part; as the twists and turns of a most clever plot unfolded, the array of emotions and the secrets uncovered made me feel that I met an interesting and complex group of people,

The settings and scenery took me to fun places of my youth. The writing was tight and fabulous, and I felt transported to the characters’ homes.

It’s an intricate and complex book while still delivering a feel-good simplicity.

War Cloud’s Passion

Legendary Warriors Book 1

by Karen Kay

Genre: Historical Native American Romance

A dangerous passion.

At twenty-three, Anna Wiley is lucky. The children aboard an orphan train headed west don’t care that their nurse is too tall, too homely to be loved. They need her, and she will not rest until each one is placed in a loving home, including the last twelve bedraggled, rejected urchins clinging to her skirts.

When their train is attacked by a band of warriors bent on rescuing a kidnapped Indian boy, she doesn’t think twice about protecting the children—all the children, including the boy. Except keeping her charges safe means she must trust the formidable warrior who led the attack.

War Cloud plans to get the strong-willed white woman and her gaggle of children off his hands as soon as possible. Yet as he guides them toward civilization, he realizes there is beauty beneath Anna’s ill-fitting clothes, a strong spirit behind her sparkling green eyes.

Even as passion grows, War Cloud prepares to put her from him, and not only because of the animosity that hangs between their cultures. A centuries-old curse hangs over his ancestral line. A spell that could take her from him forever—should he dare to fall in love.

This book has been previously published.

Warning: Sensuous Romance which contains a passion that could lead to soul-stirring love, if the whispering ancestors have their way.
