While Dr. Isaacson has written many academic articles that have been published, writing a novel has always been on his "bucket list".
"I was at a point in my life where I needed a creative outlet. I have been an avid reader for much of my life and enjoy hearing good stories with adventurous plots."
The idea for Dr. Isaacson's new novel "Rise of a Raven" came after he had read an article in the Star Tribune.
"It gave me a light bulb moment. I thought this could be a great plot line and from there I developed the story and characters. It was a fun process with a lot of challenges along the way, but I had a great writing coach from the University of Wisconsin-Madison guiding me."
The arrival of a mysterious cedar box summons national Bureau of Indian Affairs head Anne-Maree Harris to the villainous mastermind behind a rogue Native American terroristic plot against the U.S. President.
When the terrorists kidnap and torture Anne-Mareeās one true love, it makes her look in the mirror and consider changes to make in her heart and how she deals with people on all levels, especially powerful men.
