Produktbeschreibung
A captivating character-driven tale of good versus evil, love over hate, and dedication to a cause greater than yourself. Return to White Catcliff is Inna Val Helm's debut novel presented by an unforgettable cast of characters. Fantasy and reality merge amid elements of anthropomorphism, eternal life, and dimensional existence. It tells the story of thirtysomething Nick Taylor and his black Lab, BD, who stumble upon a convenience store robbery in a suburb of present-day Chicago and are left for dead. They awaken to find themselves in the tranquil village of White Catcliff, where inhabitants faced certain death immediately prior to arrival. The antagonist is VEIL (Volunteer Eleemosynary Institute and League), which presents as a humanitarian organization, but its true agenda is steeped in pillage and plunder. Nick's mission is to stop its proliferation. This means he must not only leave his new home, but of greater consequence, he must travel alone, leaving his best friend behind. Return to White Catcliff is a smartly crafted novel, artfully illustrated, humorous at times, dark at others, and always thought- provoking.

Autorenporträt
Inna Val Helm has served as a trial consultant and linguistic translator in various venues, and her resulting familiarity with courtrooms and legal proceedings is evident throughout certain passages and illustrative images of Return to White Catcliff. ¿ The writer's own vivid out-of-body experience inspired said novel and is largely responsible for its conceptual content. Helm's creation of the nemesis, VEIL (Volunteer Eleemosynary Institute and League), is loosely based upon the world's political climate over the past eighty years. A student of the mind, Inna Val Helm has studied the human and animal psyche and related philosophy across Europe as well as the eastern seaboard of the United States, resulting in a litany of fully developed characters. The author gratefully acknowledges the invaluable contributions of the illustrator, Leni Prouse, whose artistic skill and untiring efforts have provided the gift of sight to the storyline.
