Finding Fizz..............A Novel

‘Why do I feel this way? If this is heaven – a feast laid out for a man with no sense of taste – I stagger to imagine a hell.’ In the late sixteenth century, Sam awakens in a divine land of inimitable beauty, where a unicorn grazes on the banks of a rainbow lake, but all he feels is emptiness. It is his own poetic vision of heaven, but the reality is hellish: his death, the day before his twentieth birthday, has separated him from the love of his life and his heart has left him. Consequently, he is condemned to spend all of eternity in this soulless place. Sam’s meddling guardian angel, Athena, is desperate to atone for her role in his heavenly imprisonment and although she can’t send him back to his own life, she breaks all the rules by allowing him to be reincarnated again and again – as many times as it takes for him to find Fizz, the love of his life. Sam’s fate, however, was written by a higher power and death will continue to stalk him through every one of his incarnations. Only when he has solved the mystery of his original death and avoided the same fate in his new life can he and Fizz finally live in peace.

I just finished a truly unique and creative read, and when I was through, all I could say was, Wow! Finding Fizz, the new novel by author Julie Hodgson, follows the story of Sam, a forlorn soul who finds himself trapped in heaven. Trapped in heaven? a reader might wonder. How can one be trapped in the place that all aspire to reach? Well, you can get trapped when your well-meaning but rather meddlesome guardian angel, Athena, has done something that has caused you to be there before it was really appropriate. Determined to make amends, Athena allows Sam to be reincarnated over and over again in the hopes that he will be reunited with his only true love, Fizz. Breaking all the rules, she feels she's doing Sam a favor, but Sam's fate follows him no matter where or who he is. Will he and Fizz ever have the chance to live in peace? Finding Fizz was a great, great read, and I enjoyed it immensely. Author Julie Hodgson has done a fantastic job in creating interesting settings and characters that her readers will enjoy, relate to, and come to care about. If that isn't a hallmark of a great author, I'm not sure what is. Any reader who enjoys creative and unique story lines, fantastic characters, or just a great work of fiction will love Finding Fizz. I highly recommend this book, and I will certainly keep my eyes peeled for more work by author Julie Hodgson. Her creativity and original writing style will surely make her a promising author to watch!
