edit data

RE Johnston writes speculative fiction for teens and young-minded adults, blowing their minds open to experience what their lives would be like "if only."

In his debut novel, Two Moons, RE introduced us to a planet (much like ours) populated with people (much like us) who have detailed memories of their past lives on Earth (where they were us.) Now he’s expanding Two Moons’ world into a series, Echoes of Past Lives. The second book, League of Secrets, will be released in early 2021. He is irrationally optimistic that young adult reincarnation fiction will become the next big thing.

RE has degrees in physics and management. He spent a very long time developing systems and bossing people around, but he’s finally settled down to invent new world

I especially hit this problem with Two Moons because each of the characters has an alter ego on Earth. I recommend keeping a detailed "dossier" on each of your characters so from the first time you introduce them you have one go-to place for their details. For example, it took me a while to learn how to spell the name of my main character's alter ego, Ri Sun-Hui, but her dossier got me through.

You'll have more information than you need for most of your characters, but that makes it more fun. In Two Moons there's a minor supporting character named Wayne. In his previous life he was a Japanese salaryman who loved baseball. That detail's not mentioned in the book--you heard it here first.(less)
