Howard McCoy
may have been exposed to COVID-19, so he abandons his seemingly happy life and
isolates himself in a remote cabin for two weeks and examines the life choices
that led him to that place. Which is more frightening for a semi-cynical,
middle-age advertising executive: a pandemic or a deep look into his own life?
Howard is about to find out.

You can order Fever Cabin here:
“From Pepys to
Camus to Saramago, pandemics generated a distinctive literature that is
reflective of their times. John Sheirer's Fever Cabin proves just such a work
for the current COVID-19 crisis, a window into the crisis itself and the
society that slumbered as it spread. Fever Cabin offers a compelling and
insightful antidote to cabin fever.” - Jacob M. Appel, author of Einstein’s
Beach House.
“With language
as tightly-wound as the protagonist himself, John Sheirer takes us on the
physical, mental, and emotional journey of a man’s quest for distance and
connection: hiding out in complete isolation, confronting his past, pondering
his future, and seeking answers to life’s most troubling questions. This mini
Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance is raw and powerful, wonderfully crafted, and deeply
satisfying.” - Robin Stratton, author of Some Have Gone and Some Remain.
“An
extraordinary tale of self-examination and personal discovery that will make us
realize that we all have much more in common than we might think.” - Herm
Rawlings, author of Family Tradition.
