Books & Martinis is on a roll and we're back with best selling author, Ron Felber after the release of his book, The Unwelcomed, The Curious Case of Clara Fowler. It's based on a true medical case history passed along to him by William Peter Blatty, author of The Exorcist. Ron is also the author of the alien abduction story, The Mojave Incident.

The Unwelcomed, The Curious Case of Clara Fowler is AVAILABLE in hardcopy and audio. https://a.co/d/0cB8Q4Az

Amazon Summary:

“A hugely influential account that qualifies as jaw-dropping.” –William Peter Blatty, author of The Exorcist

Is evil real? Is it a metaphor for the bad things people do or does it prowl the earth like a living, breathing entity that possesses the souls of vulnerable humans?

The Unwelcomed begins with the arrival of a young Radcliffe student at the office of renowned psychotherapist, Dr. Morton Prince. Pursued by a city marshal hellbent on solving the murder of two infants strangled by her father, Clara Fowler relives the nightmare that was her childhood—exalted by Visitations from Jesus Christ and the Blessed Virgin, cursed by the emergence of a demonic presence obsessed with her demise.
