EHS, Exploding Head Syndrome: A Mind Mystery

“There’s no such thing as Exploding Head Syndrome—it’s a myth, a fable, it doesn’t exist,” said Dr. Caprio. For Maggie Bran, medical science held no logical explanation for the explosions of color and noise that plagued her since childhood. Was it a misfiring of neurons, an emotionally induced hallucination—or something else entirely?

When Maggie tries to make a new start in Poulsbo, a vintage camera she purchases at Grimwald’s Antique Store triggers a chain of synchronistic events that take her clear across the globe to Morocco. What at first seems another episode of EHS leads her to a mystery that parallels the secrets of her own mind.

From the Norwegian settlement of Poulsbo in Washington State to the exotic locales of Marrakech and the Sahara Desert, this first novel in a series introduces the character of Maggie Bran, a traveling photographer whose intuition compels her to probe the mysteries of mind, coincidence, and maybe even murder.
