CASSANDRA’S GIFT
by Michael Mckinney
Genre: Metaphysical
FREE for a limited time
Cassandra’s Gift is a story about a fifteen year old girl with a very unusual quality. She discovers a mysterious force of healing power within her and is irresistibly drawn to those who will benefit from her remarkable ability. Touched with a mild case of Down’s syndrome, her ungainly appearance helps conceal her strange condition and gives the impression to those who know her that she’s nothing more than completely normal. A loving father and protective sister are closest to Cassandra, but when a newly installed step-mother enters the scene, conflict arises. Her crusted religious beliefs and domineering intrusion into Cassandra’s life help to set in motion events that end in tragedy.
Dr. Welles, head of the children’s ward in a local hospital where Cassandra has been volunteering for the last few months is slowly piecing together details of the strange case that confronts him and when Cassandra’s older sister Stephanie doesn’t remember what happened to her that day on the interstate when four men overpowered her and forced her into their van, Dr. Welles must tell her why.
This is a story about loss, redemption and the self-deluded arrogance of religious hypocrisy. Though tragic in its emotional intensity, the message it carries is one of victory and spiritual transcendence. It’s the story of a remarkable child who in the face of all attempts to suppress and remold her personality, chooses to remain faithful to an unseen beacon of inner light that drives her onward. In her final act of selfless love, she will sacrifice all and seal with perfect faith the full measure of a sisters’ devotion.

The Invitation: A Journey Into Mankind’s Future
by Michael Mckinney
Genre: Science Fiction
FREE for a limited time
“Mckinney offers a novel that mixes the science fiction of a first contact encounter with the political intrigue of a thriller.” Kirkus Review June 2021
When the President of the United States stands before thousands in Miami, Florida welcoming the world to the start of the Summer Olympic games, the global event is watched by uncounted millions. No one could’ve foreseen the astonishingly dramatic events that will play out before spectators and be televised throughout the world. Instead of the expected games, the high-speed approach of an object that eclipses the moon and soon lands less than a hundred feet from where the president is standing leaves those on the ground and television viewers around the world collectively spellbound. Hundreds of millions watch as an alien creature who calls himself a “Linesian” appears and after projecting an enormous image across the night sky visible to the entire western hemisphere, he takes all of humanity on a guided visual tour of its own future through the next ten thousand years and beyond. As this is happening, the President is strangely detached from the incredible events taking place before him, as if he had prior knowledge of it all. He doesn’t know that he’s being secretly investigated by members of his own government. A surreptitiously obtained brain scan revealing a tiny microchip embedded into his brain convince government officials that he’s engaged in espionage for a foreign power. The intrigue, conspiracy, and murder that follows happen within a span of thirty-two hours, the most eventful thirty-two hours in recorded human history.
As I want the reader to get the book they think they’re buying I add this disclaimer for clarification. This book contains no “over the top” planet ripping mayhem, no “Star Wars” style battle scenes with aliens trying to “conquer the universe.” It can best be described as a “first contact”, “climate fiction”, and “political thriller” framed as a cautionary warning about the dangers of unchecked global warming, and it represents the most likely scenario of initial contact with an extraterrestrial civilization.

A Citizen’s View: Essays on American Politics and Culture
by Michael Mckinney
Genre: Politics & Social Sciences | Foreign Languages
FREE for a limited time
“An often well-reasoned, if sometimes speculative, challenge to American political orthodoxy.” Kirkus Review June 2021
This book is an effort to bring some measure of conciliation, and common ground to the bitterly opposed camps of political opinion that currently divides the nation. These essays address the most contentious issues that face Americans with the aim of finding common ground that may eventually pull us all closer to mutual agreement. The economy, energy policy, education, abortion, gun control, health care, and international relations are examined through a non-partisan viewpoint and carefully considered within the changing maelstrom of American politics and culture. This book also offers a different and promising approach to dealing with the ongoing scourge of opioid addiction that employs a proven and effective mode of therapy first used in Canada in the 1950s. This unconventional treatment was shown to be immensely successful in treating alcoholism with a very low rate of recidivism. The therapeutic agent that achieved a permanent success rate of seventy percent was LSD. This subject is controversial and bears a fresh new look at its proven potential to treat conditions like opioid and heroin addiction, PTSD, depression, rape trauma, and alcoholism. Lastly, this work looks at America and its place in the world and considers those historical precedents that brought America to its current position of prominence. These essays offer more hope and encouragement than criticism and provide tangible strategies for realizing a better future for our nation.Michael Mckinney
