The Sixth Sense is part of the Brier Hospital Series.

The original idea came to me while we were walking our dogs and found them fascinated with the aromas they were detecting and wondered how humans might react if they had noses equally or more sensitive.
The premise opened a new world to me and to the reader.
The sense of smell is the oldest and most primitive of our senses. Evolutionary biologists believe that this sense eventually led to the development of the modern brain.
I enjoyed writing The Sixth Sense and still enjoy reading it as it's emotionally moving and funny.
I hope readers agree.

Arnie Roth, a family practitioner, develops viral encephalitis. He awakens from the near-death experience with a new appreciation for life and an unexpected talent, his sensitivity to smell has increased a thousandfold.

At first Arnie is enthralled with his talented nose as he savors the aromatic delights of his world. Soon, however, Arnie discovers that all smells are not sweet and many come with unsolicited messages that profoundly affect his psyche.

Arnie can detect danger, disease, drugs, contaminated food and medications, and he senses when his wife is horny. He smells when people are lying to him.

Arnie's nose captures molecules beyond smell, the invisible chemicals that effect human behavior known as pheromones, his sixth sense.

Soon the surge of aromas inundates Arnie and puts his sanity in jeopardy.

The Sixth Sense is highly entertaining, thought provoking, and touching journey through a world that influences us every day, but one that we know too little about.
