Hi all,
Mark and I have finished the time travel we’ve been working on for a year. Back and forth from 2015 to 2027, with things changing, Alex and Jenna uncovering new clues, Alex exhausted from the time travel and living two days on one night’s sleep.
I guess I should give you clue of the story, huh?
Here is a rough cover, not finalized….
The back cover blurb:
Jenna McCowan has learned to live with her precognitive visions. Most she brushes aside, but one will not be ignored: a handwritten list of seven names. One belongs to her friend Daniel Bridges, who has just died.
Then a man appears in her vision.
Alex Burgess is a Boston journalist who practices lucid dreaming. One night, he dreams he is standing in a park, watching a woman hide something behind a loose brick in a wall. When he wakes and goes into that park, he finds a list of seven names, exactly where she tucked it.
The following night, it happens again. He finds himself in the park, but his time he meets Jenna, and they discover an impossible truth: she is living in 2015. He is living in 2026. Alex has somehow traveled eleven years into the past.
Then Alex discovers something even more disturbing. In 2026, five of the seven men on Jenna’s list are dead. They died within two weeks of one another. In 2015.
Jenna and Alex only have a few days to identify the men and prevent their deaths. Their first attempt succeeds. Then Alex wakes in 2026 to learn that the man they saved from an accident died anyway—stabbed later that same day.
As Jenna and Alex work to save the remaining men, they discover that the victims share a secret someone is desperate to keep hidden. The closer they get to the truth, the more dangerous their interference becomes.
Then their investigation puts Jenna in the sights of the killer.
STAY TUNED!
I am reading a fascinating book. I’ve always known, deep inside, that music had healing potential, but lately we are beginning to see proof!
The book, a bestseller by Daniel Levitin is entitled I Heard There Was a Secret Chord, named one of Smithsonian’s 10 Best Science Books of the Year. Levitin is a neuroscientist who presents results of numerous studies on the brain and music, showing how music can contribute to the treatment of ailments such as Parkinson’s, Alzheimer’s, depression, and chronic pain. The author is also a musician and composer, the right combination of talents and passions to bring us this information.
Maybe ideas float around our combined consciousness, as a species, to be received by those with the best antennae! We are radio stations, attuned to pick up the frequencies of ideas. When I was very young, as a singer-songwriter in the UK, I had the chance to work with Tommy Boyce, the songwriter who had some terrific hits with the Monkees in the seventies. He nailed it for me. He said, “In the middle of the night, if I get a song idea or lyric, I better get my butt out of bed and write it down, or it will go back up the chimney and come down Paul McCartney’s chimney.”
