What if you
had the ability to experience any moment of another person’s life? Would you
use the knowledge wisely? Or would you use it for your own personal gain?
In my new
novel, Sanctuary, Empath Sonny Blake possesses such a power. She only has to touch
a person to know and see a specific event (past or future) of that person’s
life. And because that ability is rarely wrong, she has become the next victim
on a madman’s hit list.
Enter
handsome Meta Corps agent Logan Reed to her rescue. Or so he thinks. His
arrival sends the pair down a rabbit hole filled with secrets, lies, and a
mysterious project called “Pandora”—and of course, a growing sexual attraction.
In this
crazy world we live in today, I wonder whether having the ability to see and
know a person’s future is a good thing. Perhaps, the old adage is right.
Ignorance is bliss, and what we don’t know can’t hurt us.
I like to
think though, that if I possessed Sonny’s power, I’d use it to help others
rather than exploit them. But again, the point is moot, because having such a
power is more curse than gift—people clamoring for your skills, press hounds exploiting
you for tomorrow’s flashiest headline. No, in retrospect, knowing a person’s past
or future is not a thing to be wished for. In the long run, there’s something
to be said for a life filled with nothing but genuine surprises.
