IN THEIR OWN HANDS: VOLUME I - PUPPETS AND PROVOCATEURS
“It is mine to avenge; I will repay. In due time their
foot will slip; their day of disaster is near and their
doom rushes upon them.” – Deuteronomy 32:35
October 18th, 2017:
We’ve all been there at least once: a place, a stranger, a situation that feels too familiar, though we know it’s never happened before. Several cultures throughout history have connected Déjà Vu with past lives, but what if reincarnation were not out of our hands, and instead a willful choice made at a critical juncture... then forgotten forever?
I'm pleased to announce the completion and copyright of my second full-length novel: In Their Own Hands - Volume I: PUPPETS AND PROVOCATEURS. A work of historical fiction told in four volumes, this series follows the evolution of a soul and explores the idea of willful reincarnation; four people across consecutive time periods and different countries, connected by the same grudge: unfulfilled vengeance.
Upon dying, each manifestation resists the pull back to oblivion, to eternal rest, and instead folds into the next evolution, carrying with it no recollection of the previous life, save for those strange moments we all know so well. That universal and incomprehensible feeling: I’ve done this before.

Volume I: PUPPETS AND PROVOCATEURS begins the saga with a new and controversial interpretation of a mysterious assassination. In 1793, during the bloodbath of the French Revolution, Jacobin journalist Jean Paul Marat was murdered by Charlotte Corday.
The series In Their Own Hands investigates the madness of mankind's endless cycle of perpetration and retribution - my interpretation of Ouroboros - the snake eating its own tail. It therefore explores the futility of revenge, for vengeance has never brought a single person back to life, and the dead never know they've been avenged.

In addition to the cycle discussed above, In Their Own Hands tackles such contentious themes as the
delusional power of alcohol, religious zealotry, killing in the name of God and the Enlightenment's astro-theological interpretation of the Bible.

Below are some hints about the next three volumes - the three other consecutive stages of "evolution" for this tortured and frantic soul, moving from one time and place in human history to another...
