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.

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.
She:
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.
