My debut novel, My Travels With a Dead Man, is a New Adult book that blends paranormal, time travel, magical realism and fantasy elements, launched today.
"In MY TRAVELS WITH A DEAD MAN Steve Searls explores the possibilities of time travel and parallel worlds while questioning the premise of free-will that poses many ‘what-ifs’.
What if you were able to live different lives through different times? What if you had a reset button to your life? What if you discovered you had a special ability that you didn’t wish for? These are just a few of the questions that Steve Searls throws out in his MY TRAVELS WITH A DEAD MAN, an extremely fascinating book.
It all starts with Jane Takako Wolfsheim falling in love with Jose Luis Borges. No, not the famous author but an eponymously named stranger. Although Borges loves Jane, he turns out to be a man she ultimately cannot trust. He sizzles with an undercurrent of violence and darkness that makes her fear him. But she is also inexplicably attracted to him, a compelling need that changes her life in unimaginable ways. With him, Jane discovers her capability to travel through space and time. She has strange visitations from Basho, the Japanese poet, who offers her cryptic suggestions in the form of haikus. Sometimes, even the Daibutsu, a giant bronze statue of the Buddha situated in the city of Kamakura, in the Kanagawa Prefecture, speaks to her. ...
A compulsive page-turner that contains elements of romance, tragedy, adventure, journeys through space and time, terror, mysticism, and meditation. It's a high-octane, multilayered odyssey that is perfect for readers looking for a little bit of everything."
I look forward to any comments or questions. Thanks,
