Here’s the set-up for Kathy Bell’s Regression, just $2.99 on Kindle:
Fourteen-year-old Adya Jordan wakes after a terrible accident with memories of another life…and echoes of even more. Was the family and husband all a dream, or did she really die in 2011 and begin all over again in 1985?
As Adya searches for answers, she encounters the Three Eleven Corporation. The leaders of this powerful global entity share her recollections of past lives, but not her philosophy about the world they are trying desperately to save from a future disaster. The company is trying to remedy future mistakes with past actions, but might not be changing the right things to prevent the fall of humanity.
Stuck in a desolate future, scientist Nicholas Weaver is forced to watch Adya replay the past again and again as he labors alone to save the world from the disaster he has lived over and over. Is this the time they finally get it right and save the woman he loves? If not, does he have the will to try again?
Regression was an Amazon Bestseller, in the Science Fiction and Fantasy bestseller top 100 for 28 days as a new release, peaking at #17
From the reviewers:
In a stunning first novel, Kathy Bell introduces a future apocalypse but offers a possible and radically innovative solution to the end of mankind as we know it. Kathy Bell makes her scientific premise understandable and believable, even to a reader with no scientific background. What’s even better is her ability to make you care enormously for Adya as she struggles to find her place in this version of her world, while mourning her family’s loss in another life. – Gerry Dailey
It got me right from the start – especially after the accident. There was some unexpected twists and turns, and a few things I kind of guessed before Adya herself found out, but that did not make it boring or too predictable. There were moments where I actually shed tears for Adya, which proves how realistic the story is. – Susan L. Carter
I’m not even sure how I came across this book, but it is fantastic reading. Full of both emotion and science fiction it captured my full attention. I can’t wait to read the second book in the series, and hopefully by the time I finish that the third book will be released. I highly recommend this book! For the price on Kindle, you can’t go wrong. Good job Kathy Bell! – Athena Neox

The new profile picture shows me at the entrance to Xibalba, the Mayan Underworld. Trent and I went to Belize to research places and experiences for my new novel, due out April 1, 2012. Synergy 2012:Return to Magic is an urban fantasy.
Born in 1971, I’ve called the Georgian Bay and Lake Huron area home for my entire life – minus the years at university. Even so, I found books a wonderful way to travel through time and around the world.
I live in my dream house on 60 acres with an amazing view of the city skyline in one direction and the sheer cliffs of the Niagara Escarpment in the other. I was only able to start writing after checking off most other things on the to-do list of my life: marry high school sweetheart (check); get an awesome career as a high school teacher(check); have four wonderful kids (check); build my dream home (check); be a successful entrepreneur (check); breed Canada’s top winning bulldog (check); get a herd of horses (check). Suddenly, I found myself inspired to begin writing after a break of more than twenty years – when I was in high school I wrote short stories which never made it past my journal binders. I still have both.
Regression was conceived in the middle of the night, one hand cradling a fussy baby while the other pecked at the keyboard – you can only surf the internet for so long! I feel it is a reflection of the many roles I have had in my life, and the observations of human nature accumulated through those roles.
