Initiating HPC’s step into fiction is "Hey! Don’t Hang My Friend" a novel written in the tradition of Harper Lee’s "To Kill a Mockingbird" and Mark Twain’s "The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn," by author and surgeon John Raffensperger. .
The author, a prolific writer, has written two hundred fifty articles on medical surgery, medical history, and other medical related subjects. Additionally, he wrote seventeen books published by J.P. Lippincott, Little Brown and Co. and several other publishing firms. His move into fiction,determined by his self assessment, was a natural consequence of his intellectual curiosity and interest in history. The resulting book was a combination of dramatic storyline and character development.

We at History Publishing are honored to have him join the ranks of our distinguished authors. ”

It was written in the first person and like the exploits of Scout in “To Kill a Mockingbird" and Huck Finn in " The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn" each chapter appears to offer a new experience for the young man in his dealings with the dynamics of the time.

History Publishing Company will publish "Hey! Don’t Hang My Friend" electronically and distribute it to eleven portals in the United States, Canada, England, Australia, Republic of Ireland, Wales, Scotland, Northern Ireland, Argentina, Brazil and Mexico in its Global Outreach Program.
