Percivious Insomnia (Percivious Trilogy #1)
By JJ Cook & AJ Cook, MD

        In a year as surreal and stressful as 2020 has been, it’s little wonder that people around the world are experiencing more sleepless nights than ever before; in fact, “sleep is emerging as the latest casualty of the COVID-19 crisis” according to a recent forum hosted by the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health, where experts called the current situation a “perfect storm of sleep problems” and noted the “severe” implications of chronic insomnia.
In
As an unlikely collection of scientists and citizens come together in a race against the clock to find a cure, disturbing revelations about the underlying cause of the insomnia epidemic come to light that could completely unravel civilization as we know it… and throw into question humanity’s place in the universe.
The first book in the “Percivious” trilogy, Percivious Insomnia is a gripping work of contemporary fiction centered on an ominous and otherworldly mystery, and a story which brings together two unique perspectives to create a realistic medical thriller with an imaginative sci-fi twist.
Drawing on AJ’s direct experience as a medical doctor and pediatric surgeon and JJ’s background across a range of industries, giving insight and depth to characters spanning an array of disciplines, ages, countries, and cultures, the “Percivious” trilogy sets a unique and original course for fiction of the future, and paints a timely, prescient portrait of today’s globalized society… and what may exist beyond the realm of our current understanding.
“The ultimate in altruism lives at the heart of the Percivious Trilogy,” share JJ & AJ of their inspiration to pen this series. “Something pure that has been lost is now found in a new version of our own evolution.”
One of summer 2020’s most exciting Canadian fiction debuts, Percivious Insomnia will be released in hardcover, paperback and ebook on August 4, 2020, with an audiobook edition to follow in Fall 2020.

Percivious Insomnia (Percivious Trilogy, Book #1) will be available in August 2020 in hardcover, paperback and ebook formats wherever books are sold. The audiobook edition will be released in Fall 2020.

Synopsis:
        In the west of the 1890s, Jake’s wife is raped and murdered, an image from which he attempts to escape and hide. When two thieves try to take what little he has left, Jake realizes he must face the past and solve his wife’s murder to truly escape the images in his head. But to find the killer, he discovers even more surprises …
        Jake McTavish left his home in central Canada when he was in his early teens. After working ships on the Great Lakes, fishing Lake Winnipeg, feeding cattle south of Fort Garry, and shooting wolves on the prairies, he starts his own cattle operation in the foothills of the western mountains. Then he meets his life-long partner, Anna.
        Jake and Anna were married three years when it all came crashing down. He came home to find his beautiful wife raped and murdered.
         In an attempt to escape the vision of his butchered wife and all that he lost, Jake runs deep into the mountains, where he spends three years trapping and panning gold. When two outlaws attempt to rob him and leave him for dead, Jake finally comes out of the stupor he has lived in and begins to fight back.
        First he deals with the two thugs. Next he returns to his homestead to find his wife’s killer. Solving a murder after several years is no easy task, especially when it includes surprises he didn’t want to find.

About D. M. McGowan
      "Author Dave McGowan has been a cowboy,forest fire fighter, heavy equipment operator,farmhand, gardener, road musician and businessman.
      He now writes, and works as a commercial driver, in Northern British Columbia."
      The forgoing is the bio from the back of my novels and one might conclude from this information that I was a poor employee ... either lazy or didn't know what I was doing ... and was kicked off a lot of jobs.
       You would be partially correct, at least in surmising that I don't know what I am doing. As for my being a poor employee, you would have to ask my bosses ... although I think I've managed to trick the one I have now.
       Of course, when I had my own business my boss thought I was marvelous.
      Truthfully, I've managed over the years to find employment regardless of my location or the problems that might exist with the economy. I enjoyed much of that experience at the time and am glad that I attained it.
        I've also visited a good portion of North America and lived in several areas of Canada where I met some great people and enjoyed some wonderful country.
      Speaking of great people, Karen and I are parents to four great people who have supplied eight grandchildren who show that improvements can be possible in each generation. One of those has added a great-grand daughter to the line.

We moved into a beautifully restored farmhouse at the end of March. We are completely moved in except for one of the large bedrooms upstairs. My husband and I's project for October is to finish cleaning the garage (where there is a bunch of the former owner's stuff) so we can move our storage and Christmas items to the garage. This will free up the spare bedroom in case we have company and will give me lots of room to set up my huge table to do my crafts on. I figure it will be a long winter with Covid 19 threatening to stay around so having scrapbooking and other crafts to do will be a great way to pass the time when the weather is miserable outside. Thanks for the super giveaway opportunity.

I hope to take great photographs of the changing colors of trees, get more jobs as an affordable editor of indie books, crochet more Corona doilies (my own pattern) and perhaps sell them, review some books I have, and live life happily.

My plans for October are to get ready for winter. And seeing as it happened early (we got a few inches of snow on the weekend, and it's cold), now I have to get my butt into full gear. Getting the last bits out of the garden, prepping the perennials for winter.
