Light Hidden by Darkness (Click Link) |
The latest novel by the author of the bestselling
‘Shadows of the Trail Trilogy’ confronts head-on the accepted ideas surrounding
Faith, Karma, and Afterlife
In his
latest novel, Light Hidden by Darkness, Branney presents his ideas on the
nature of the afterlife and redemption through the struggles of one Seamus
Winshell who awakens one morning only to find a stranger’s face staring back at
him in the mirror.
From this book’s startling beginning, author Branney
weaves a satirical tale rich in philosophical ideas and peopled by a diverse
range of characters, including a potentially dangerous doorman and an
ex-prostitute named Gloria. Together, they piece together the full magnitude of
Seamus’s predicament. Seamus eventually realizes he is in this place to atone
for his transgressions during his prior life. Can Seamus Winshell find his
family and right the tremendous wrongs they suffered at his hands? Will he be
prepared to pay what may be the ultimate price?
“This is quite
an unnerving book and a definite change of direction for John,” said Sarah
Luddington, Mirador Publishing’s Commissioning Editor. “It is a brave author
who is willing to tread a new path when it would have been very easy to stay
with a popular series a while longer.”
“The story
behind Light Hidden by Darkness crept into my subconscious mind at a
very young age, at a time when I began to question a few concepts raised during
my religious upbringing,” author Branney said, “I wanted to know
specifically how things worked in the afterlife and what these places looked
like. Since it was impossible for me to obtain a round trip ticket to these places
to find out answers, I wrote my own version of the journey. Of course, I have
added what I believe is an intriguing, and sometimes lighthearted, story with enough
twists and turns to keep the reader on his or her toes.”
