Singing Johnny Cash in the Heart Ward

John Tognolini

32K0

On October 28, 2011, at the age of 54, I underwent six and a half hours of heart surgery to replace my original valve with an artificial one and also had a heart bypass. Without this surgery, I would have died of a coronary aneurysm and heart failure 10 months later. My purpose in writing this book is to encourage people, especially men, to get their hearts checked. Many people don't even know they have heart disease and lose their lives in this mysterious way. Men are particularly unwilling to pay attention to health issues, and are not as good as women in this regard. In addition, this book also mentions music and describes the magical healing properties of melody. This is not only a record of my own "mental journey", but also a record of my story with music. I have had the privilege of knowing some great musicians over the years, several of whom have played a pivotal role in my life.

Mountain Murder Case

John Tognolini

54K01

"Murder on the Hill" has been described as "Melbourne Vice" meets pub trivia, with a twist of Shakespeare, satire and action (including murder and football training). The plot of this book is full of ups and downs, not only describing murders, but also corruption, drugs, abuse of police power, political protests, disagreements, and how to open a bar in a mountain city. Shancheng is a tourist town surrounded by mountains and a local transportation fortress. In this story, people who yearn for a pastoral life escape the rat race and move from Australia's largest and most expensive city, Sydney, to the tranquil countryside. Here, everyone is familiar with each other; here, the past 20 years ago resurfaces in front of them. "Murder on the Hill" is the author's tribute to the great Australian writer Frank Hardy.
