When he encounters Belia Demkakova, he negotiates to do yardwork for her. But the old woman has something that can erase his withdrawal symptoms. At a price. What will Pauly give to be free of his addiction? More than he bargained for Writing about The Elixir, author Lee Allen Howard said: \"The story is about desperation and what people will do to free themselves from addiction. I'd had the idea of an old woman asking a young man to do her a favor. As part of an online writing class, I developed the idea into the story...I wanted  it] to have somewhat of a gritty, noir feel to it. My challenge was to keep readers interested and include a nice twist at the end. I hope I've been successful.\"(Cover by Adrian Baldwin)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Lee Allen Howard\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 8644893971\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9798644893973\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Independently Published\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/11\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 48\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.14lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.99h x 5.00w x 0.11d","brand":"Lee Allen Howard","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44634639040767,"sku":"9798644893973","price":7.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_4e0755d6-baec-4c5e-b095-8311fefa9b3a.jpg?v=1703590202","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-elixir-lee-allen-howard-9798644893973","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
