Les McCubbin is an ordinary guy, but he doesn’t think much of himself. “I’m dull, mercurial, and often morose. Always Les,” he tells us. But he is passionate about his fraternal twin brother Addison who, he says, “is everything I’m not: tall, blond, athletic, outgoing.” Despite the psychic bond the brothers share with one another, Addison comes and goes as he pleases, in and out of Les’s life, often leaving a trail of trouble for his brother to clean up. His final act upon the stage, however, leaves both lives changed forever.

Praise and Reviews

Maria Savva, author of Second Chances, says :

5 out of 5 stars — I was hooked on this story from the start. I find the way it was written fascinating. The author literally dreamt this book, and then wrote it all out from his memory, without editing it. It’s just perfect as it is! I heard about Marty Beaudet’s experimental writing and, although curious, I didn’t have time to go and read the serial as it was developing online. I finally found time to visit the blog and read the free online version when the author had already written 16 chapters. I read the whole thing in one sitting because it was that gripping!

Losing Addison is a psychological thriller exploring schizophrenia and the unexplained bond between twins. It’s a story that will have you glued to the page. The suspense is well constructed and made me want to continue reading until I found out what was happening. The story unravels bit by bit, slowly revealing the reasons behind the characters’ behaviour. Beaudet drip feeds the information in the most effective way, with flashback scenes and high drama. A wonderfully entertaining story. I’d recommend it to everyone who likes a good suspenseful thriller.

Joel Kirkpatrick, author of Breathing Into Stone says:

So chilling. There are so many possibilities brought to life by this story. The one that just haunts me – this is NOT an insanity. Written directly as a paranormal, to force that response, it might have lacked the power it has. ‘Losing Addison’ is a wide-open doorway, with terrible monsters in the darkness beyond. Name your accolades, Sir, you have earned a basket full.
