A better description for book now on pre-order

[Karen]

Happy Cyber Monday! This would be just the right day to check out my next novel....

Playback Effect, a near future sci-fi thriller, comes out December 9th and is already available for preorder on Amazon and the Nook Store. (Kobo and iTunes ebook stores will follow, but probably not today.) I posted about it once before, but (foolishly) before I had a description I really liked. I've deleted that post, and here's the current teaser.

--------

"O wad some Power the giftie gie us/To see oursels as ithers see us!" But what if it's the other way round?

New technology records the highlights of emotional experience for others to share. Buy a helmet and you can feel the exhilaration of an Olympic ski jumper, or the heat of a lucid dreamer's erotic imaginings. Commit a crime, and you may be sentenced to endure the suffering you inflicted on others.

But such recordings may carry more information than the public has realized. What will criminals learn about their victims? When a husband is wrongfully convicted of injuring his wife, how will their marriage change? And what uses will a sociopath find for recordings of the experience of death?
