I’m thrilled to share the news that my psychological/ medical thriller THE HEALER has reached the benchmark of 50 Reviews on Amazon yesterday, and even more so, that it did so with two smashing ones:


I’ve read quite a few books penned by spiritual masters, including an unusual Russian figure by the name of Gurdjieff, and P. D. Ouspensky, one of his disciples who wrote heavily about him. Students’ accounts of Gurdjieff and what it was like to deal with the man and the healer were quite similar to what our heroine undergoes with her faith healer. Does that mark him as the genuine article? Or just another nut case, to whom she’s just signed over all of her wealth and belongings? Once again, you just have to take the journey to find out, and very possibly, in taking it with her, you’ll be more than just fascinated, you’ll undergo some healing, some transformation, and some self-transcendence yourself. Which I think is very much the point in a novel of this sort.
One of the best-in-class books I’ve ever read in this sub-genre of spiritual fiction. That also goes for books on people dealing with cancer and or some other terminal illness, and struggling with the self-transformative process that implies. So, needless to say, highly recommended.
The Healer
When advertising executive Erica Whittaker is diagnosed with terminal cancer, western medicine fails her. The only hope left for her to survive is controversial healer Arpan. She locates the man whose touch could heal her but finds he has retired from the limelight and refuses to treat her. Erica, consumed by stage four pancreatic cancer, is desperate and desperate people are no longer logical nor are they willing to take no for an answer. Arpan has retired for good reasons, casting more than the shadow of a doubt over his abilities. So begins a journey that will challenge them both as the past threatens to catch up with him as much as with her. Can he really heal her? Can she trust him with her life? And will they both achieve what they set out to do before running out of time?

Not a full local in the eyes and ears of his peers he developed an ambiguous sense of belonging and home in Bavaria. He moved to Hamburg in pursuit of his studies and to lead a life of literary indulgence. After a few years he moved on to the UK where he now lives in a small hamlet, not far from Bath. He and his partner have three Labradoodles to complete their family.
Christoph worked for the British Film Institute, in Libraries, Museums and for an airline. ‘The Luck of The Weissensteiners’ was published in November 2012; ‘Sebastian’ in May 2013 and The Black Eagle Inn in October 2013. “Time To Let Go” , his first contemporary work was published in May 2014, and “Conditions” in October 2014. His medical thriller “The Healer” was released in January 2015.
He has written several other novels which are in the later stages of editing and finalisation.

What a fabulous milestone, Christoph! (I don’t think i’ve even sold 50 books. I can’t imagine that many reviews… not good ones anyway! LOL. But i knew going into this that with work, i don’t have time for any of the marketing.)
Congrats on another great review. Huge hugs! 🙂

Vielen Dank fuer das Interesse, Vera. Mein Cousin hat angefangen mit dem “Glueck der Weissensteiners”, aber es wird noch etwas dauern, da der gute Mann neben dem Uebersetzen Vollzeit arbeitet. Nach 25 Jahren im Ausland ist mein Deutsch nicht mehr so grossartig, sonst haette ich es selbst vesucht. Herzliche Gruesse nach Deutschland 🙂
Oh, das sind gute Nachrichten und dein Deutsch klingt ganz hervorragend, Christoph.
Wie schaffe ich es nur, mich bis zur fertigen Übersetzung zu gedulden…und dann ist es auch erst 1 Buch von dir. Hachja…. *Lach*
Danke und lieben Gruß zurück 🙂
Wonderful news, Christoph! What an honor, and you should be proud… 🙂
Thank you Alice 🙂
Fantastic! So quickly, too. Congrats.
