May 2019 Group Read with Guest Author, Glen R. Krisch

[Elke]

Finished over the weekend, here is my review: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...

Once I got used to the repetition, my mind created countless variations of its own. What would happen if Billy didn't do this but that, if he didn't turn here but there and on and on...

I was surprised to find that he didn't always re-start at the very same position/point in time, but then I thought OK maybe he did that part of the 'journey' right so he doesn't has to repeat it again. I imagined an endless number of parallel worlds, each triggered by a different decision, but only one leading to survival. Now Billy has to find that one way out, like in a labyrinth. The main important factor seemed to be to not separate from his brother/family, and I thought that came more and more into focus with the course of the book.

It was a pleasure reading Echoes of Violence, thank you Glen and thank you HA team for enabling this group read!

Thanks for answering my questions, Glen!

I finished this last night. I had a great time reading it. The premise was very cool, and the quick pace made it hard to put down. Which of your other novels should I be checking out next?

A couple of additional questions:

1. (view spoiler)[Do you have any thoughts of writing a sequel? I feel the possibilities are endless, whether by further exploring the stories of the main characters, or by meeting new ones. (hide spoiler)]

2. (view spoiler)[Do you hate Tommy Herr? Go Cardinals! (I'm assuming you're a Cubs fan) (hide spoiler)]

Hey Grant,

Glad you had fun with Echoes! As far as what to read next...? Perhaps Arkadium Rising. That's another fairly violent novel. If you like quieter horror, give Nothing Lasting a try. My new ghost novel, Little Whispers, is now available in print with the ebook to follow on June 4th.

I'd be up for writing a sequel, but I don't have any current plans for one.

I am a Cubs fan, but growing up with the 80s teams, it was hard not to respect the Cardinals of that era (Herr, McGee, Ozzie, Tudor).

Thank you, I will seek those out!
