In a virtual launch event on Friday, April 9 at 6 p.m. (MT), D & T Publishing unleashes MALINAE, the long-awaited debut novella by Colorado-based biological horror author, Josh Schlossberg.

Ward Ayers, physically disabled and confined to his Jersey Shore home, can only watch in dismay as his beloved wife Malina slips further and further into dementia. Until he uncovers the dark force behind Malina’s decline and must plumb the depths of sacrifice and selfishness to reclaim his wife and preserve humanity’s future.

The 45 minute event will feature:

• Josh Schlossberg reading a brief excerpt from MALINAE and sharing the real-life inspiration for his fictional work’s exploration of Alzheimer’s disease.

• D & T Publishing editor, Dawn Ellis Shea, relating her experiences working as a nurse with dementia patients.

• Huntington Potter, Ph.D., Director of University of Colorado Alzheimer's and Cognition Center, offering hope in the form of the latest scientific progress towards a cure.

The event will conclude with Q&A.

MALINAE will be available as e-book from Godless.com on April 9, and as print and e-book through Amazon on April 23.
