Future
Echoes In The Dark
This novel began life as the Memoirs of Merith,
the main character. It was told in the first person as that was how I visualized
her. As I mentioned in my own Bio page, I had invented the character as a
means of helping others survive, as such I often had to be that character
(This does not mean talking in a silly voice! but it did mean thinking
like her). The novel was completed in the summer of 2005 but no-one in the
publishing industry was interested.
I began to write a new novel, this
time I thought, what if Merith had been transported into her future, where
would she end up? What would her experience be like, where could she go,
how would that work. I began writing, but at that time my laptop was
acting a bit strange. I had written about 3 to 5 thousand words, about the
size of a short story when it crashed.
I gave up on this idea but kept on thinking. What
if this were to happen with the original Merith novel, could i merge the
two ideas and create something new.
Future echoes was born.
Literally the
maze is magically dark. Merith is bounced back and forth into her future
like an echo.
Therefore Future echoes in the dark.
