Author Lon Maisttison is self publisher who controls all phases of the publishing process including the cover art. He got started into writing books after being diagnosed in 2004 with congestive heart failure (CHF) contracted from a flu virus. In 2005, he authored his first book from researched work titled: “Kissed by Death: Congestive Heart Failure,” centered on patient’s surviving CHF. During his assignment in England in the 1990’s, Lon’s hobby was writing stories about a paramilitary organization known as Air Rescue. As a pledge to himself after being diagnosed with CHF, Lon published his first action-adventure book titled: “Two Sisters of Kuwait” in 2006. In 2008, the author updated and reformatted the “Kissed by Death” book and issued a new version titled “Kissed by Death II: Congestive Heart Failure.” Its now 2010, and the author released in May a second Air Rescue book titled: “The Girlfriend I Almost Lost.” Websites: http://stores.lulu.com/lonmaisttison http://lonmaisttison.tripod.com/lonmaisttison
