Based around true events, The Tears Garden has been many years in the writing. It is perhaps the most controversial book of the age. It is both a human story and a political thriller. A dark and explosive odyssey into the unseen world that governs our lives and deaths.

Wes Holbrook, a writer and freelance news-cameraman, is given an assignment at a retirement community in Phoenix, Arizona. However, from that seemingly routine episode, there escalates a chain of events that not only shatters his own life but exposes a conspiracy that has serious implications for each and every one of us.

Along with local homecare nurse Roberta, he begins to investigate the truth further. And so begins a journey that spans from the dark Redwood forests of California to the White House, the lonely backwaters of the Louisiana bayou to Germany during the Third Reich, before reaching a dramatic climax in the borderlands of West Texas.

They say that every baby boomer remembers where they were the moment President John F. Kennedy took that fatal last ride. I missed that episode in history by a few years. However, as I sat there with the sound of gunfire still ringing in my ears, I knew that this night would be forever inscribed in my memory. It joined a select group of other bookmarks in my mind, like the night my Father died, the day the Twin Towers fell, and the morning my Mother changed...

THE AUTHORS

robin keen writer tears garden

ROBIN KEEN

Robin Keen is an author, and governmental and corporate whistleblower. Arguably, he ranks alongside such truth tellers as Erin Brockovich, Edward Snowden and Julian Assange, if only for the sheer number of deaths and financial stakes involved in his story. Robin began his writing career in a somewhat storybook fashion. In 1976, after exploring all corners of the country on a Greyhound bus, he arrived in Hollywood with his debut screenplay, San Elysium. It soon attracted the interest of Cannon Pictures. Robin was no stranger, however, to the heights of Hollywood society.

ROBIN TREADWAY RN

Robin Treadway was born near the Alamo in San Antonio, Texas, then spent her early childhood in the bayou country of Moss Bluff, Louisiana, before moving to Globe, Arizona during her teens. She had written on and off throughout her life, though it was only after retiring through illness from a career in nursing that she began to do so more seriously. Robin had a number of independent projects on the go when she was so untimely taken, Jayne, a story based on her life as a hospice nurse, Counting Stars, a teenage road-trip saga set in the 1970s, and The Girl, an historical tale about the Arizona Gold Rush of the 1880s.

"I sleep with a gun under my pillow," the FDA Investigator said in a voice edged with fear.

Not faraway is the canyon that Wes and Roberta hold so dear. These settings have their own special place within the couple’s dramatic odyssey.
