Welcome to
I'm thrilled to be hosting Eileen Cook
Eileen Cook is a multi-published author with her novels appearing in eight different languages. Her books have been optioned for film and TV. She spent most of her teen years wishing she were someone else or somewhere else, which is great training for a writer. Her latest release, REMEMBER came out in February 2015.
You can read more about Eileen, her books, and the things that strike her as funny at www.eileencook.com. Eileen lives in Vancouver with her husband and one very naughty dog and no longer wishes to be anyone or anywhere else.
Eileen's latest novel, REMEMBER, released in February:
A thrilling tale about what a girl will do to get back a memory she lost…or remove what she wants to forget.
Harper is used to her family being hounded by protestors. Her father runs the company that trademarked the “Memtex” procedure to wipe away sad memories, and plenty of people think it shouldn’t be legal. Then a new demonstrator crosses her path, Neil, who’s as persistent as he is hot. Not that Harper’s noticing, since she already has a boyfriend.
When Harper suffers a loss, she’s shocked her father won’t allow her to get the treatment, so she finds a way to get it without his approval. Soon afterward, she’s plagued with strange symptoms, including hallucinations of a woman who is somehow both a stranger, yet incredibly familiar. Harper begins to wonder if she is delusional, or if these are somehow memories.
Together with Neil, who insists he has his own reasons for needing answers about the real dangers of Memtex, Harper begins her search for the truth. What she finds could uproot all she’s ever believed about her life…
Want to know a little more about Harper?? I have an exclusive interview right here:
Tell us a bit about what your dad does and how that impacts on you.
My dad owns a company that offers a medical procedure called Memtex. It’s designed to “soften” people’s traumatic memories so they don’t bother them anymore. It’s pretty amazing.
The procedure has just been approved for use with teens and some people don’t think that’s a good idea. It can be difficult to deal with what people think of my dad, but it doesn’t really impact me. I’m usually pretty busy with school, my boyfriend Josh and Win, my best friend.
But there’s more to it than that, isn’t it? Didn’t you have the procedure?
(Shifts in seat) How did you hear about that? It’s not supposed to be public knowledge. (Pause) Okay, I did have the procedure. Something happened to me and I needed it. My dad didn’t know about it.
Did the procedure help you?
It did. (smiles)
Did you have any problem with side effects?
(Looks around) Who told you about that? It was Josh wasn’t it? (Shakes her head.) I keep telling him that I’m fine, but he won’t listen. My boyfriend hero-worships my dad so he’s always trying to get on his good side.
I’ve had a few problems since I had the procedure. Nothing big. Some… I guess you would call them hallucinations.
What are you seeing?
No big deal. (Shrugs) They’re a bit like a dream, things are a bit confused and don’t make a lot of sense.
You seem nervous.
(Looks around) Who is going to know about this?
What is it you’re afraid of Harper?
In these…visions, or whatever you want to call them, my mom is there. Except she’s not my mom. She looks nothing like my mom. She’s a stranger.
And?
(Takes a deep breath) And I’m not convinced it’s a vision. And that means the woman I’ve grown up with isn’t really my mom, but why would she and my dad pretend that she is? And that makes me wonder just what else in my life might be a lie.
How far are you willing to go to find out the truth?
I’m willing to do whatever I have to.
Whoa! Sounds like Harper has a bit of a catch-22 situation. She could find out what really happened, but she might not like what she finds...
