THE REINCARNATIONIST

Summary:

An epic thriller of secrets, history and murder that will challenge how we think about who we are, and who we were.

THE REINCARNATIONIST is equal parts modern-day thriller, historical fiction and love story. With one foot in present-day Rome and New York and another in Rome some 1,600 years ago, my story is about two worlds consumed by the fires of intrigue and passion.

Photojournalist Josh Ryder survives a terrorist's bomb, only to be haunted by near hallucinatory memories of a past life in Rome as a pagan priest whose dangerous congress with Sabina, one of the Vestal Virgins, poses a transgression so serious the lovers will face a certain death if exposed. Scents of jasmine and sandalwood and images of furtive liaisons and violence descend on Josh at will, pulling him to an ancient yet strangely familiar Roman burial chamber harboring the remains of a woman clutching a wooden box.

A trail of present-day murders takes us deeper into a labyrinth at whose heart lies the enigma of a collection of ancient gems or memory stones whose origins trace back to both ancient Egypt and India. The stones' promise to "assist the wearer in reaching his next incarnation" sets the ancient and modern worlds on a collision course.

The questions of who we are cannot be asked without first asking who we were. And I've tried to answer that using my own research into reincarnation theory - as well as the tenets and writings of those who have studied and believed in reincarnation over thousands of years

Can you be organization crazy? or BOOK BLOGS SEARCH ENGINE

Back in August someone came up with the BRILLIANT idea of a way to search what book bloggers had posted about their reading adventures. Of course I thought this was the niftiest ideas since books. I blogged about it. I did every thing I could think of so I could find this wonderful reference any time I need it. I used it to see if I had read the same book as someone else. I used it to read lots of reviews before deciding if I really wanted a book as much as I thought I did. And then I didn't use it.

But today, I needed it! Desperately! And it is all J. Kaye's fault (you know her, J. Kaye's Book Blog). You see, she has this thing about top commenters for the week and Little Miss Big Mouth (me) was one. Not only that, I was chosen to pick a book from "Upcoming Book" list.

How was I the choose?

And then I remembered! I could read what other people had written about some of the titles that intrigued me! Grand! But how do I access it? Simple. Where had I put the address so I would not lose it?

It is now two hours later. I have finally found the old posting. The site, Book Blogs Search Engine, is now on the top of my Safari Screen for ready reference (where I should have put it in the first place!). And I can now tell J. Kaye, I want Beat the Reaper, by Josh Bazell!

Now for the rest of you, should you be faced with the same delima, don't make yourself crazy, record the address where you see your Wickapedia.

You can reach it quickly by clicking on this posting title or where I named it above.

NOTE: I am reposting this because I just needed the link. It took me forever to find in my old postings! If I needed it, you might; check it out!
