Timothy Goodwin's vibrant writing style brings to life "Pariah's" protagonist Eric Hawthorne, who grapples with bipolar disorder, employment woes and heart wrenching childhood memories. With a pleasing backdrop of passion and love, Eric manages to muddle through until, following a serious car accident, he finds himself in an exotic and vivid world, light years away from home. He is at once disturbed and awestruck as he faces the physical and mental challenges of forced assimilation. Goodwin's astounding imagination is reflected in the creation and machinations of this shocking world Eric fights to escape.

With poignancy and finesse, Goodwin conveys a refreshing worldview through Eric. He masterfully leads readers to yearn for the disenchanted Eric's success, as they would a loved one's. Goodwin is at his best as he shines a glaring spotlight on the disingenuous proselytizing of the overly pious. I highly recommend this enlightening book and the unparalleled journey that comes with it.
- Review by Laura Somers, Author of "Didn't See It Coming."

Eric Hawthorne has bipolar disease, it's hard for him to hold a job. Going to work at Storms Palafox Securitiese as a Security Guard wasn't what he really wanted but it would help pay the bills. What he really wanted was to be an author.
When Eric is involved in an auto accident, he is thrown into another world. Becoming someone else in this new realm, Eric must battle to survive to make it back to the love of his life.
Timothy Goodwin has created a wonderful book that will keep you on the edge of your chair until the last page. There are twist and turns that you don't expect at all. I highly recommend this book. I look forward to reading more of this author's work.

Timothy Goodwin takes science-fiction and fantasy and melds them together perfectly in his novel "Pariah," the combination and congruity of the two genres as well as the blending of fantasy and reality makes for a sensational tale that will keep the reader turning pages! I recomend "Pariah" to any reader--not just those that read science-fiction and fantasy, but those who also read western and horror novels as well! You won't be dissapointed.
