The universe is falling apart. So is Alex. She's trying to fix both.
Forty-five, half-drunk, and facedown in Sedona's Oak Creek, Alex Scott has seconds to decide if her life is worth fighting for.
What comes after is messier, stranger, and harder than any battle she's faced before. Sobriety. Shame. AA meetings with aggressive sponsors. A found family who responds to her worst moment by making eggs and talking about the local art fair.
Alex faces the slow, uncomfortable work of learning that she might deserve to be okay.
But the world won't wait for her to heal. Her former billionaire boss JT, equal parts Darth Vader cosplay and fecal catastrophe, is rebuilding a machine that severs people from their spirit guides, with a kidnapped scientist forced to do the work.
A murdered tech genius has uploaded his consciousness to the internet and declared his own war.
And the Spiritual Enterprise Network needs Alex back inside JT's Las Vegas casino, face to face with the man who assaulted her, before everything falls apart.
The Light of Wounds is part recovery story, part cosmic absurdist reckoning, part unflinching portrait of a woman choosing herself for the first time.
The third book in Diane Hatz's Mind Monsters Series is for readers who like their visionary, genre-bending fiction funny, strange, and emotionally true.

A well-crafted and emotionally layered novel....Themes of resilience, healing, and the battle between light and darkness are woven through the narrative in a way that feels both urgent and emotionally resonant. -The International Review of Books
Filled with thought-provoking insights about heroism, choice, spiritual direction, and revelations about underlying psychological motivations and assumptions, The Light of Wounds incorporates a force every bit as compelling as in Alex's previous encounters. - Midwest Book Review
