Jul. 10th, 2014 01:20 pmYoung Becky has been my guest many a time (so many she's used up all my questions!) but she's welcome here any time she's got a new release. She's talking about a subject close to my heart, which is sleep, and the power of the subconscious mind. And you can enter the draw to win a copy of Dream for Me by commenting here! (Click on the little pencil icon to do so.) Winner picked in a week's time.
So, Becky, writers and sleep (or lack thereof). What do you think?
Sleep. It’s a subject I’ve had an interest in for many years, since reading a library book when I was a kid about the strange and wonderful world of sleep. And like most teenagers and students I carried out extensive personal research into the subject. So it was fun to write my new book Dream For Me. Sleep is a central theme of the story, because one of the heroes is one of the few people left in the world who does sleep. ( Read more... )
Dream For Me
In a society awake for twenty-four hours a day a man who sleeps is a freak. But not to neurobiologist Shay Mistry. Jacob Garcia, the last known sleeper in America, is the test subject whose brain Shay has been dying to get his hands on for years. When they meet, Shay discovers the sleeper’s brain comes accompanied by a gorgeous body and a hostile attitude. As Jacob sleeps night after night in his lab it’s harder and harder for Shay to resist their mutual attraction.
Jacob is tired of being a lab rat, but he’s got his reasons to be in Shay’s lab—one of them he’s not going to tell anyone about—and his plan is to do what he came to do and leave. So falling in love with Shay is like adding a hand grenade to all the other balls he’s juggling. He doesn’t need this added complication, but his desire for Shay is too strong to resist. When Jacob’s secret comes out it triggers a chain of events leaving Shay irrevocably changed and forcing Jacob to choose where his loyalties lie.
A m/m science fiction romance available now from Loose Id.
