Tony and Mary Calley had a nine year marriage their friends and neighbors envied. They seemed like the perfect couple, living in the perfect million-dollar house with the perfect son. Tony owned a very successful investment firm and Mary was a main figure in the town’s tennis and parties high- society set. To everyone that knew them, the Calleys were the symbol of wealth and the receivers of the “American Dream”. Yes, they had a life that most of the world would think could never become unraveled. But it did! Tony was a bigtime gambler. He couldn’t hold onto the millions that came in the front door of Burns and Calley Investment. He would bet thousands, or even hundreds of thousands on a single race every day, either from his bookie and or his laptop. He had three mortgages on his house Mary knew nothing about, as he bought the house in his name only, “to use as a work write-off”. She believed him until her credit cards started getting rejected and their bank president contacted her about an overdraft. After confronting Tony on the shortage in their account, he told her it must be a mistake and took care of it by illegally getting a work loan without his partner’s okay. While they were putting on their “we’re very rich show” for the rest of Nashville, they were struggling to pay their bills. Mary threatened Tony with divorce and he promised to stop betting. His secretary retired and in his hunt to replace her, he ends hiring probably the world’s most beautiful redhead. Soon, his financial woes become minor as he starts a relationship with his new girl Friday. He starts working later and later as they use the office as their personal “playpen”. They decide they have to eliminate Mary, and at the same time eliminate all his bills. Tony increases Mary’s life insurance and they cook up a scheme to kill her, which eventually puts her in a coma. Everything seems to be following their script until an unbelievable event takes place. Does Mary have any knowledge of their plans, or even survive the coma? The answer will amaze you. The ending will knock you out. Warning: don’t try any of this at home. It may be deadly!

About the Author E.G. Lander was born in a tiny spec of a town in northern Minnesota called Deer River. He grew up on a fishing resort his parents owned, telling guests, almost as soon as he could talk, about his family of eight, the woods, the local Chippewa Indians, the lakes and the native game. It was there that he realized he would one day be a storyteller, a writer of what he knew and learned as a youngster. He postponed much of that to raise his own family, and build a career to launch him back into writing. He worked his way through college by writing papers for other students, then graduated with a BA in pre-law and political science. From there he joined the U.S. Marine Corps, becoming a teacher and a facilitator of MCI (the Marine Corps Institute). He got married and became a leader for a national retailer, honing his communication and writing skills with speeches and motivational leadership. But he was always dreaming of writing, especially telling stories about families and their efforts to overcome hardships. E.G. retired early to start that second career- the storytelling one. In the last four years, he has completed four manuscripts, (3 fictional and 1 non-fictional) and he’s working on a fifth one. His first work was What’s in the Rear View Mirror? a 80,000 word saga about a family in South Carolina caught up in murders from 50 years ago that haunt them even today, creating even more murders. It’s was published in May 2014. Next came a 117,000 word story called Damn It, Wake Me Up, the drama of an American family being destroyed by a husband who gambles and cheats on his wife and eventually tries to kill her. However, she doesn’t die from the “perfect murder plan” he and his mistress devise. She ends up in a coma, and that’s where the story really begins. E.G.’s third work is a fantasy entitled The Incredible Bucky Berrot, a beautiful story about a family of birds in Australia and how Bucky changes the way all the residents in Bayberry Hills think about their laws and their enemies, as well as the possibility of God (why can’t a bird believe in God?). This colorful family and community fable was co-authored with E.G.’s grandson (12- year- old Connor) to give a slant of assorted creatures never seen before (60,000 words).

This is an excellent read and was extremely hard to put down. It takes you on a ride and a half. The story captured and held my mind. It was a constant theme that kept me hanging on. The characters were likable, believable, and just broken enough to relate to as a reader. Obviously, this is a writer whose work is not a one time fluke, but one who will grow to be a staple of those who love this kind of writing. I would highly recommend getting a copy of this. Can't wait for his next masterpiece!

He proved it in the wonderful children's tale, the "Incredible Bucky Berrot," which he co-authored with his grandson, and "What's In the Rear Mirror," another thriller, published last year. Lander has done it again in the deceptive "Damn It, Wake Me Up." It's a mystery novel with a huge twist that will leave you grinning when you realize that the author has set you up from the moment you begin reading.Ostensibly, "Damn It" is the story of the "perfect family" -- well, perfect on the outside, anyway. There's dad, Tony, the successful investment banker with a knack for making his clients -- and himself -- lots of money. And, there's the beautiful wife, Mary, who simply loves her hubby and their precocious son Connor, who just happens to be the best student in the Rymont, TN, public school system. For years, the Calleys seemed to have the idyllic life. Their life was truly an idyll, in the truest sense of the word. You see an idyll is a tale or fable that shows that heroes have problems too.For the Calleys, the problem was Tony's dark secrets. Tony was a liar and an habitual gambler. He couldn't be one without the other because he not only lied to his wife and his bookie, but he also lied to himself about the strength of his addiction to playing the ponies and puppies. How bad was his problem? Let's see, he took three mortgages out on his house; he'd used up his pay for this month, last month and next month and more. What was the more? Hmm, how about taking a loan from a pawn shop on his new Mercedes? That's a good one, isn't it? It's a good thing he bought the car for cash as he was able to use the vehicle for a $12,000 loan. In turn, he took the loan, and instead of telling his wife the truth, said he earned the money through shrewd investments.Mary, for her part, knew her husband and knew there was something wrong, but just couldn't put her finger on it. On confronting Tony about it, he lied of course and he kept on betting and lying; telling falsehood after falsehood about where the money was coming or going. It got to the point where Mary had to do something, so she called the bank -- a move Tony never thought his beautiful wife would make. He had successfully kept their financial picture from Mary, even with all his bobbing and weaving, and now it was about to unravel especially when he realized he was $62,000 in debt; his bookie had cut him off, and his wife was breathing down his neck. So, what did he do? He not only lied, but he stole from a client, but luckily things worked out -- that time and he escaped.It seemed to Tony that he could do no wrong because he figured he was above being found out. He even began a dalliance with his new secretary and expected his wife to believe that he wasn't involved with anyone, even though there was a ton of evidence to the contrary. Being totally smitten with himself, Tony believed he would escape everything just because he was Tony. Well, maybe he did and maybe he didn't, you will have to read "Damn It" to find out.If you do take the time to read and appreciate this thoroughly enjoyable thriller, you will easily see the immense talent of E.G. Lander. His easy writing style pulls you into the story quickly and before you know it, you just can't put it down, even if you had intended to do so for dinner (you do end up reading at the table). And, say goodbye to sleep until you find out just what happens at the end (there's a mind-blowing twist in the book that will have you doing two things, especially if you appreciate good authorship, grinning and shaking your head thinking "I just didn't see that one coming." Trust me, it's obvious, but, then again, I've finished the novel and you'll have to read it to find it).Lander, who came to writing later in his career, knows how to plot a novel and create three-dimensional characters for whom you feel lots of empathy. He also knows how to play with his plot and he knows that once he has hooked his audience -- baiting his trap, so to speak -- he reels it around as he pleases and delightfully so because you are willing to be led right through to the end. It is an end, that, I will tell you this much, is highly satisfying.Altogether, E.G. Lander has a real hit on his hands with "Damn It, Wake Me Up," one that you can't help but enjoy.

Lander has that rare gift to blend a mystery with a respect for interpersonal (especially family) relationships that sets his book WHAT'S IN THE REAR VIEW MIRROR? apart. He has always known he was a writer, even though his college studies focused on pre-law and political science. Joining the USMC he served as a teacher and facilitator of the Marine Corps Institute, and upon completing his tenure he moved into the corporate world of retail, specializing in communication and motivation. Now his life long dream of writing has again blossomed with this, his second novel, DAMN IT, WAKE ME UP. The seeds have been well nurtured, as he writes with a fine sense of ingenuity of plot and ability to escort the reader through a maze of twists and turns that make his story a bifurcated tale that comes together in the end. It is the tale of a well-planned murder that reverses - all in the dignity of a perfect little family, perhaps....Lander this time places us in Nashville, Tennessee (and Rymont, TN) where we meet a young, age 30, couple Tony (`a beautiful man with wide muscular shoulders fitting perfectly into his six-foot-two frame. Everything about him was what a woman would call a "hunk," from his baby blue eyes to that wonderfully soft looking dark brown hair) and Mary Calley and their precocious son 9-year-old Connor. For all intents and purposes Tony and Mary remain profoundly in love and lust until little gradual secrets begin to arise. Tony has a gambling problem that started on their trip to Las Vegas some years ago and has move to the horseracing category - big time. Tony owns Burns and Calley Investment firm and manages to hide his increasing debt from gambling for a while - until Mary begins to uncover his/their debt. Tony's beloved long-term secretary Michelle retires and is replaced by the delectably delicious redhead Brenda Jean who has secrets in her own past. Mary increases her nagging at Tony about his gambling, Tony falls for Brenda Jean, nosy obese neighbor Bobbie's eye is a bit too keen and registers some of Tony's and Brenda Jean's consignations, Mary increases her drinking and forgets to take her levothyroxine that keeps her hypothyroidism controlled and that tips Mary into a coma. And idea is born: Bobbie becomes a `no problem', Tony and Brenda Jean attempt to combat Tony's debt and pursue an affair with the plan to substitute Mary's thyroid meds with look-alike OTC stool softeners while increasing Mary's life insurance policy to include triple indemnity in the case of accidental death. It all works according to plan until Mary actually goes into coma, but retaining her ability to hear conversations, and once the coma is resolved Mary carries out her own revenge in a surprising and heart thumping way. And to tell more would be a spoiler.Lander is so smooth that he makes this convoluted tale read like a well-played chess game. His characters leap off the page, the various crimes are completely credible, and in the end we are left with a very satisfying mystery thriller - rich in romance and action. Another very fine novel from E.G. Lander! Grady Harp, May 15
