Finn is a hot night surfer, Thana a cool sun worshipper. They clash but click. Together, they dig into his past to find out why he was made eternal. Something wants him dead, all evolutionaries dead. An ancient scroll has the answer. What it reveals is as fantastic as it is devastating to both.
Staying young forever has its perks. It can also lead to unending loneliness. Finn Nilsson has accepted that reality. After he stopped aging nearly a century ago, he also lost the ability to exist in sunlight. Riding waves by night is his one true joy . . . until he meets a young woman who challenges his tendency to self-isolate.
Thana is Finn’s polar opposite. Visits by Fu-mes offer futuristic versions of herself, life’s possibilities. The most tempting is Finn. When he returns to the place of his immortal re-birth in Hawaii, she impulsively follows.
Underwater visions seem hallucinatory until they start to manifest. Once the two connect the dots of his past with her future, they learn the truth: They are magnetically linked but not in the way either could have ever predicted.

Over de auteur
I have always loved literature. My earliest memory is the tale of THE LITTLEST ANGEL. How I felt for this fictional being. By age ten, it was GREEN MANSIONS, by age thirteen A TALE OF TWO CITIES. Every creation in between inspired me, made me feel, made me wonder about existence. My creative side encouraged me to write. Poetry was my primary vehicle in my teens and twenties. My practical side encouraged me to earn a degree. I have several in English lit.: a BA from Marquette Univ., Milwaukee, WI; an MA from Univ. of Notre Dame, South Bend, IN; a Ph D in modern British lit. from Florida State Univ., Tallahassee, FL. I received awards for teaching writing and contemporary literature from both Notre Dame and FSU. Between the master’s degree and doctorate, I received an Ed S from Nova Univ., Ft. Lauderdale, FL. I also studied modern British poetry at Exeter College during a summer session at Oxford Univ. After a decade of managing acting talent in LA, I moved back to West Palm Beach, FL. It is now the time in my life that I choose to write fiction. I am hopeful this co-written, speculative novel will inspire, will make millennials think about their own world, about their own future.
