About this ebook
In April of 1937, amidst the carnage of the Spanish Civil War, for a time the Basque town of Guernica had managed to escape much of the violence, murders, and tortures as were hallmark atrocities committed by both the Nationalists and Republican government. Yet soon Guernica would unknowingly become a breeding ground for modern warfare.
Alejandro has suffered from such violence. Unable to move or speak, his invalid condition prompts him to become a patient in a convalescent ward of a terrifying hospital. There, he meets Isabel, a beautiful nurse whose angelic presence he falls in love with. Also, he is befriended by Raul Miguel, a man gripped by torturous insanity, or perhaps not.
As Alejandro’s strength returns and the secrets of this terrible place are revealed, overwhelming fear leads to a desperate escape. However, one hell is traded for another, compelling one to forever keep his eyes wide open.

About the author
This is the part where the author, that being me, tells the reader, you, all about himself. Let’s get a few things out of the way. I was born on November 9, 1967, in Warren, Ohio, and grew up in a country trailer park in Southington Ohio with my two brothers and parents. I currently live in Austintown, Ohio and am the proud father of three adult sons.
Aside from writing, which I do every day, I love to draw and paint. I’ve proudly displayed my artwork at our local public library.
Someone once asked me why I write. I guess I could say that I have a gift for storytelling. Most of the time, I really don’t know where the stories come from. The characters populating my thoughts spend hours telling me what to write.
I hope that you enjoyed this story, which like all the others is dear to my heart. If you did, I encourage you to read more of my books and stories. And don’t be shy. Let me know if you liked them. I’m on Twitter and Facebook and would love to hear your thoughts. Happy reading!
