Truth is indeed stranger than fiction - especially when the message comes from someone who is deceased. Imagine being woken by the presence of a specter at the foot of your bed asking you an enigmatic question - "Which would you rather be, a Wick or a Fuse?" Furiously typing - 24 hours later a book is born and the answer to the riddle shared. Wick or Fuse will provoke emotions and thought - calling you to action. In the process, 100% of the author's share of proceeds from your purchase will go to The Innocence Project. Because finding truth and seeking freedom, isn't free.

About the Book
The genesis for this book occurred one early morning when I “awoke” to see Patsy Ramsey at the foot of my bed. I recognized her from the media coverage surrounding the murder of her daughter, Jon Benet who was 5 years old.
As most would be, I was confused why the apparition of Ms. Ramsey either entered my dream or stood at the foot of my bed. We looked at each other for several seconds when she asked me, “Which would you rather be—the Wick or the Fuse?”
This book provides an eye-opening history of our present psychological state in America and how we have shaped the lens through which we see the world. It offers a sage message hoping to provoke critical thought, self-reflection and examination, with the ultimate goal to inspire actions—large and small. Moreover, it provides simple, incremental ways each person can effect changes within themselves and the world around them.
About the Author
Hope Verdad
Hope Verdad means hope for truth. It is a pseudonym for Francesca Flood who holds a Master’s in Pastoral Theology and a Doctor of Education. She is an author, speaker, life coach, and activist who hopes to change reality one person at a time. Life experiences have taught her, we are all capable of unleashing evil – but more importantly, we are hard-wired to be righteous and bring to bear our wick – our force of Light for the greater good.
