Echoes of Another

In the groove. In the zone. A period of intense focus and high performance that feels effortless. Flow.

In a near future Toronto, a naïve young scientist named Kel invents a device to produce the mysterious state of ‘flow’ on demand, hoping to unleash humanity's creative potential on our greatest problems. But the prototype she invents to record and then play back the neurological and physiological states associated with flow can be used to record other mind-body states. Her prototype is stolen, duplicated, and put to use for an astonishing range of causes, some good, and some very bad.

As Kel struggles to regain control of her device, it threatens to destroy her legacy and upend the lives of several others, until all uses of the technology converge on the most unexpected and unintended consequence of all.

Reviews

“A highly immersive and imaginative cyberpunk tale.” — Kirkus Reviews

“…an engrossing blend of thriller and hard sci-fi that will delight readers looking for crossovers that pepper social issues and developments into the story line.” – D. Donovan, Senior Reviewer, Midwest Book Review

 

"I found the author’s vision for the world of tomorrow to be one of my favorite things about Echoes of Another. My other favorite thing about this book is that it’s just a really good story told in a way that felt fresh and even cutting edge. "
- Scott Cahan, Readers' Favorite, 5/5 Stars

"I would highly recommend this book for someone who likes science fiction settings without the heaviness of hard core science fiction. This is a character driven vehicle in a science fiction setting. It doesn't get bogged down in the science. It tells the story of people."
- Mimi L., NetGalley Reviewer 5/5 Stars

"Very enjoyable science fiction. I appreciated the author's use of description and suspense. A recommended title!"

Pundragon

Ian McDonald is trying very hard not to think about how the world might be going to hell in a handbag. After all, what’s he going to be able to do about it? He’s just this guy, stuck in a small town, pinned there by a load of student debt and a stalled writing career. Oh, and a wicked case of writer’s block.

Or at least he was, until a dragon showed up in his bedroom. At midnight. Quoting Freud and muttering about the space-time continuum.

So of course, Ian must Make a Choice and decide whether he wants to follow the dragon back into the Connectome and find his muse again, or stay in a house that surely wants to kill him, one repair bill at a time.

Follow Ian on a rollicking adventure, where he finds out that he can make a difference. And that some things are worth fighting for.

Even if all you have is a can opener.

The Entrepreneurial Parent

Starting a business and making it a success is one of the most challenging things you can do, career-wise. Meanwhile, having children and raising a family is one of the most difficult things you can do personally. So it would be absolutely insane to try to both at once, right?

But thousands of us do, every single day.

Some of us even do this as single parents, or with special-needs kids, or with ailing parents. Or all of the above! It’s tough; no, wait … it’s exhausting.

But—and here’s where it gets really crazy—even with all the blood, sweat, and tears, the guilt and the doubt, you wouldn’t have it any other way, would you?

No, we didn’t think so. And neither would we.

That’s why we wrote this book. We wrote it for you, the unsung heroes of the business world, who are out there on the front lines, following your dreams and passions. You’re the ones out there trying to get it done and do right by your family.

We want to show you that it is possible to do both and still maintain your sanity. This book will show you how.

Join us as we:

  • Bust through the myths surrounding entrepreneurship and work/life balance
  • Walk you through the five phases of business life, teaching you how to cope with the phase you're in now, and set yourself up well for the next phase.
  • Teach you strategies to help you deal with your biggest issues: guilt, stress, and lack of time

Chandra Clarke and Terence Johnson are award-winning entrepreneurs who built their basement start-up into a multi-million dollar company while raising four kids. After selling their original company, they’ve become serial entrepreneurs who want to share their hard-earned knowledge so that others can achieve their dreams.
