Recent Questions I have been asked: "What exactly is Echoes about? What are it's themes? The synopsis is intriguing, but what else can you tell us about the book?"

Miranda Marie All excellent questions, m'dears, and I shall try to answer them without giving away any spoilers.

Emma is an orphan who lost all her memories in a hurricane after she sustained a head injury. The book starts several years later and follows her rediscovery of her past before the hurricane, while giving glimpses of the years she does remember - wherein she spent most of that time living on the streets. That rediscovery is pushed forward by the antagonist, who seeks to use that past for her own gain, and tries to encourage Emma to embrace it, despite it's destructive nature.

It's set in a fairly normal, modern day U.S.A. It's SciFi elements come entirely from Emma's backstory and the past she uncovers throughout the novel. The poetical elements come from Emma's unique way of thinking, spurred on by her past, losing her memory, and having to rediscover the world on her own.

I wrote it while coming to terms with my own disability and used it as a means of release during that time. It is being released on October 16th, 2017
