Anna Ricci’s got two problems—her landlord and her left hand. The first—her father—wants her to get a job. The second… well, it has a mind of its own.
Diagnosed with Alien Hand Syndrome, Anna’s unpredictable limb seems to take pleasure in sabotaging her life—one accidental slap, spill, and wardrobe malfunction at a time.
Desperate for a solution (and to avoid eviction), she reluctantly agrees to attend a group therapy session run by the eccentric Dr. Nutter. But when chaos erupts, it’s up to Anna to somehow unite a room full of unpredictable oddballs before the day is over.
Between the cranky receptionist, the cat-obsessed woman, the tech addict, the conspiracy nut, the hunk who talks weird, and the old geezer who just isn’t himself, Anna has her work cut out for her.
If she can’t pull this group together, her life might fall apart—literally at the hands of her own hand. But maybe, just maybe, helping others heal is the first step toward fixing herself.
A laugh-out-loud romantic comedy about control, chaos, and finding your grip when life gets out of hand.

About The Author
Paul Mahoney writes under the pen name PM Mahoney because someone else had already published using his name (how weird is that?) He is an accomplished author who loves writing romantic comedies and mysteries.
In 2020, Paul was also awarded a certificate from the Premier of Queensland for his quick action in helping to save the life of an elderly lady.
As well as being an author, he is also a screenwriter who has had one feature film, Ruby's Choice (2022), made which starred the iconic Jane Seymour (Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman). That movie led to him becoming a Global Ambassador for the Dementia Foundation's Spark of Life program, reflecting his commitment to improving dementia care through storytelling and advocacy.
Paul has had several other feature screenplays optioned and is hopeful that further films will be made in the future. His work has earned international recognition, including awards from prestigious screenwriting competitions such as the Euroscript Award in London, the Pasadena International Film Festival and the Faith & Family Script Showcase in Los Angeles.
