So my first book recently came out, which is pretty cool. I'm not really too comfortable shilling my stuff, but I thought I'd post about it here if anyone is interested. It's available in paperback and on kindle.



Jessica Kolb can kill people with her mind. She’s only done it once, to her brother—an accident, but that doesn’t assuage the guilt. She’s kept her dark secret hidden, not that anyone would believe her, anyway. But when she discovers someone with the same ability in her small Wisconsin town, she’s desperate to know more. Maybe she can finally learn why she’s been given this sinister power.

That someone is Claude Weissman, a popular local doctor. Jessica’s got a million questions, but talking to him yields no answers, only a deep revulsion that sends her running to throw up. Digging into Weissman’s past, Jessica confirms her gut was right: Weissman’s a murderer, a conman who fleeces his patients before killing them with his Touch.

While investigating, Jessica befriends the vengeful father of a girl killed by Weissman, and decides to help expose the not-so-good doctor for the monster he is. But their plan is complicated by the arrival of Freyja, a hedonistic wanderer who also possesses the Touch. Freyja might hold the clues to why the trio has been drawn together, but her presence is a distraction Jessica doesn’t need, especially with Weissman lurking in wait.

Cunning, sadistic, and able to kill without a trace, Weissman is a terrifying foe. She’ll need the Touch to beat him, but she’ll need uncommon strength to resist its seductive power.


It's a psychological horror novel called "The Touch," about people who can kill with their minds. Fans of King, Dan Simmons, and Clive Barker would probably enjoy it.

Here's a couple links to the Amazon and Goodreads pages:

I'd be super curious if anyone checks it out to let me know what they think. If you're interested but don't have the money or don't feel like shelling out, send me an email and I'll hook you up with a copy. I don't have PMs because I was banned at some point and don't want to give lowtax any more money, but feel free to email me at aberkowitz86@gmail.com


Anyway, that's all I've got. Thanks for reading!

Thanks, yeah it's pretty dope. The only thing that sucks is that it had to come out during coronavirus. Would have been cool to have a proper book release party and stuff, but not really much I could do about that.

Congratulations!

I'm sure if you told people a bit more about it, they might be more interested in taking a look...

Ugh, I'm dumb. Edited the OP to add the more detailed description.

I think the description gives a little too much away.

I thought it was a bit long, but that was the blurb my publisher went with. I guess I could always talk to them to trim it down some.
