Blurb:
It takes only half a
second…
…Like those
commercials where a crash test dummy rockets forward at high speed and slams
into a wall.
…In that
instant, every thought in Emma Lynn Walsh’s head collides with mine—every
thought, memory, hope, disappointment and dream.
…I open
my eyes to see Dr. Walsh peering at me, a puzzled expression on her
face.
“Let—go—of—me,”
I order though clenched teeth.
Mira
wants to die. She’s attempted suicide twice already, and failed. Every time she
comes in contact with another person, skin to skin, that person’s psyche uploads
into hers. While her psychologist considers this a gift, for Mira, it’s a curse
from which she cannot escape.
To
make matters worse, Mira’s father is being investigated in the deaths of several
volunteer test subjects of a miracle drug. Shortly after Mira’s mother starts
asking questions, she ends up in a coma. Although her father claims it was an
accident, thanks to her “condition” Mira knows the truth…but proving it just
might get her killed!
After
earning her B.A. in English in 1995, Laurisa White Reyes spent many years
writing for newspapers and magazines before gathering enough courage to live her
dream of writing novels. Contact is
her third published book. She is currently pursuing her Master’s degree in
creative writing, is a book editor for Hamilton Springs/Xchyler Press, and is
the Editor-in-chief of Middle
Shelf Magazine. She
lives in Southern California with her husband and five
children.
