WINNER: 2nd place - Bridgid’s Fire Books "Debut Novel" San Francisco, 2005: A drunk driver takes the lives of two strangers: Dane and Victoria. They don't stay dead. San Francisco, 2006: Dane suffers from chronic insomnia, relieved by short bursts of fitful sleep, filled with bloody dreams of a red headed woman who he has never met. He barely remembers the night he died, much less any specific detail of the accident. Victoria suffers no such ailment. She, unlike Dane, remembers quite clearly what happened to them after they died that fateful night. She remembers what happened to them long before that night; spanning back through the years to the past lives they have shared. She remembers everything. Their destinies collide when mystic and friend Mrs. Jeremy leads Dane on a quest to discover what happened to him and Victoria after they died one year ago. Now Dane must race against time to prevent the mysterious Victoria from killing his life partner, Jake, whose actions in his past lives come back to haunt him. This metaphysical suspense targets the GLBT audience primarily, as well as any reader who enjoys a plot centered around the pros and cons of karma.
