Concussion Is Brain Injury:
Treating the Neurons and Me
Beautifully written first person account of life after a brain injury. . . . This is a must read for anyone with a brain injury and anyone who is close to someone with a brain injury.
Lifeliner:
The Judy Taylor Story
A compelling story. . . . Reading it will make you laugh, smile, cringe, cry and most importantly, think. If you want inspiration, Lifeliner has no shortage packed into its pages.
Time and Space
What an amazing journey into the future! . . . There are some interesting future technologies: I loved that scene with the elimination vessel, and I wouldn’t mind trying those shoes! . . . I couldn’t stop reading until the end.
Aban’s Accension
To the author’s credit, avoids religiosity and preachiness . . . With this approach, Jeejeebhoy lets Aban’s Accension remain a gentle allegory, which may play in the reader’s consciousness (as it has mine) for weeks or months.
- Personal Perspective: Brain injury requires relearning basic skills like walking. But how can you start over again when subsequent events regress a relearnt skill over and over?
- Personal Perspective: We are witnessing a revolution in healing, powered by home neurostimulation and neuromodulation devices.
- As clinicians come to understand how brain injury impairs heart rate variability, should clients monitor their HRV at home, and can current methods help restore it?
- Concussion remains downplayed as a life-altering brain injury, and domestic violence even moreso. The injured deserve to be diagnosed with objective tests.
- A Personal Perspective: Has your brain injury stolen your identity? Has rehab put you into a routine of medical appointments? It’s okay to find fun again.

Concussion Is Brain Injury:
Treating the Neurons and Me
The book is divided into chapters where some are like a novel because she is telling us her thoughts through this nightmare and then [other chapters are] more like science information . . . to give encouragement and advice. A very brave woman.

An Urban Fantasy
Put simply this is the best urban fantasy story that I have ever read period. From word one I was hooked into this tale, possessed by it if you will.
