A Novel About Real Love and a Fake Pandemic


Summer 2020. The first lockdown has ended in the small Canadian town of Moosehead. Twenty-four-year-old Vincent McKnight emerges from three months of stay-at-home orders into a surreal new normal of multi-coloured face masks, acrid hand sanitizers, and germaphobic neighbours standing six feet apart.


The new normal becomes even stranger when Vince's Indigenous grandfather sends him to buy a loaf of bread from the town's new baker. Stefanie Muller speaks five languages, has beautiful blue eyes... and is a certified conspiracy theorist. She believes the pandemic is a hoax to justify totalitarian "public health" measures.


But when the local cop pulls out his taser, Stefanie's dystopian premonitions no longer seem so theoretical. And when the restrictions threaten Granddad's life, Vince finds himself going face-to-mask with the emerging police state-forced to choose whether to follow senseless rules or to follow his pounding heart.

Industry Reviews

"...a ripping story of courage, awakening and love (with some good laughs thrown in)..." -Patrick Corbett, former director of W5 and The Beachcombers

"Seriously folks, read the book. Much Ado About Corona is a fantastic read and well worth your time. The thing I really enjoyed about the story was how three-dimensional the characters were. It's an excellent tool if you have friends, family or co-workers who are on the fence and open to starting to hear the truth."-Will Dove, The Iron Will Report

"This is it! The great Canadian COVID novel! Much Ado About Corona offers a pleasant world to be engrossed in, despite the dystopian backdrop, thanks to the well-drawn characters, wry humor, and accurate moral compass."-Dr. Kevin Barrett PhD, author of Truth Jihad: My Epic Struggle Against the 9/11 Big Lie

"The book is quite thick and yet I surprised myself at how quickly I got through it; I had a hard time putting it down! It is a captivating and relatable story. I loved all the characters, and the writing style. While it is written as a fiction it feels real. I cannot wait for the next one!"-L.L. Tremblay, author of Seven Roses and Light Over Dark

"... a fascinating, entertaining, and sometimes very sad story, full of irony and subtle humour." -Dr. va Sz©kely, psychologist (Ret.), author of Never Too Thin

"I enjoyed Much Ado About Corona immensely. The police interaction was bang on..." -Constable Leland Keane, Royal Canadian Mounted Police (Ret.)

"I have high praise for Much Ado About Corona's characterization, pacing, condensed truth and irony, and just the right amount of humour." -Nowick Gray, author of Chameleon: The Virtual Reality Virus

"[A] historically significant.... page-turning fictional account..." -Andrew Brannan, registered ICU nurse

"Guys just get it! Much Ado About Corona is a great book... If you get this book and don't love it, I'll send you a refund. It's that good. John's created something beautiful and wonderful."-Ken McCarthy, Brasscheck TV
