You can list a movie, book, or even an anecdote from your childhood. Any story will do. And you do not have to limit yourself to one. I will throw your name in the hat once for every fave you list and twice for every time you say why you like it.

Let me tell you a little about The Angel. In this thriller, Dr. Lori Westlake has been invited to join the Circle of Peace, a clandestine society operating at Sentinel Health Systems.

An Infuze Magazine reviewer described the book as "Part mystery, part thriller, and part issue novel."
