Quando Dormo: When I Sleep

by Edward Izzi

Overview

Dr. David Fazio is a maternity physician at Chicago-Western Medical Hospital. He is a handsome, divorced baby doctor who has more than his share of personal flaws. But Dr. Fazio has one good moral quality going for him: He is a pro-life obstetrician. In a state where late term abortions are now legal, he is currently being pressured by the hospital to perform abortions to any patient requesting one.
Dr. Fazio has one other problem...he has horrific sleep issues and has been known to be a sleepwalker. He wakes up one morning with severe burns on his hands, while a family planning clinic one block away has burned down to the ground with casualties.
The authorities are now suspicious, as the 'Abortion Arsonist' is burning down clinics in Chicagoland, and Dr. Fazio has no clue who it is.
Every time Dr. Fazio sleeps, he has no concept of where he'll wake up or any memory of what damage he may have done the night before...

About the Author

When the author was in high school, it was suggested by his English teachers that any career, other than writing, would be 'a total waste of time'. He always had a passion for writing but was discouraged to pursue it as a career. After working in public accounting and starting his own accounting firm, Izzi became a successful CPA and businessman. But becoming a fiction author was always his life-long passion.
He now devotes all his time in developing new and exciting story lines for his next fiction novels. His writing prose and style is often set within his hometown of Chicago, his native Detroit, and his many travel experiences to Italy and in Europe. He invests a considerable amount time and historical research in developing his story lines and various characters, which are very often modeled from many of his real-life experiences. Edward Izzi has written a countless number of short stories, poetry, and has completed several fiction thriller novels, including "Of Bread and Wine", "A Rose from The Executioner", "Demons of Divine Wrath", "Quando Dormo” and "El Camino Drive".

Editorial Reviews

Through his characters' personal stance on induced abortion, Izzi peers into the souls of both "pro-life" and "pro-choice" activists as he examines the ever-present abortion debate and the ongoing controversy surrounding the moral, legal, and religious status of induced abortion. Readers should be prepared for extreme scenes of graphic violence and adult language. Izzi knows how to tell a captivating if familiar story.
It's a fast paced crime thriller and a compelling novel of moral complexity.

Prairie Book Review - Matt Ettinger

One of the most interesting parts in this novel was the relationships between the myriad of characters that appear throughout the novel. At least fifteen characters are introduced and even though that may sound overwhelming, Izzi masterfully crafts these delicate intertwining relationships between each one of them.
An entertainingly provocative tale!

Online Books - Kathy Strack

In a story that does not allow the reader any chance to catch their breath, Izzi spins a tale like no other. Recommended for those who love high-velocity thrillers, as well as the reader who can handle the politics of the abortion debate.
I cannot say enough about Edward Izzi, particularly his writing skills. Izzi lays the groundwork for a sensational story and builds on it from there, never taking a moment to lull the reader into some form of calm.
Brilliant work and so poignant!
