Join us for an intriguing literary afternoon on Saturday, October 12, 2024, at the independent bookstore in Ottawa. James McMahon, the author of The Loura Lure, will be signing copies of his debut novel from 1:00 pm until 3:00 pm.   The Loura Lure follows Dr. Shamus Bergin, a newly appointed staff psychologist in a secure treatment unit at a mental hospital. Straight out of school, he becomes captivated by an amnesiac patient who challenges conventional diagnosis and who other doctors have given up on. As Shamus digs deeper into the mysterious patient’s past, he uncovers strange inconsistencies about the man's origins, which intersect with his own doubts about the patient’s place in the institution. The narrative takes a dramatic twist when the patient reveals a hidden truth—he claims to have traveled through time from the forgotten Age of Loura, seeking help from members of The Sacred Order of Keepers to locate the last living angel. This angel, he insists, is the key to winning an ancient struggle between good and evil in a timeline erased 20,000 years ago. With the weight of his own tragic past and the advice of his close friend, Dr. John Browse, Shamus faces a life-altering decision: to dismiss these revelations as the ramblings of a disturbed mind or to risk everything and help fulfill the patient's quest.   James McMahon, a lawyer, inventor, musician, and martial arts enthusiast, brings his lifelong passion for history and ancient mysteries to life in this gripping tale. He has traveled extensively with his family, exploring the legacies of ancient societies and uncovering the secrets they left behind. The Loura Lure is the first installment in a series inspired by his fascination with ancient civilizations and their enduring mysteries.   Don’t miss this chance to meet James McMahon and immerse yourself in a world where history, mystery, and the supernatural intertwine at the Ottawa Book Signing Event!
