Familiar Strangers
by Emma Kahm
About the book
Your mind is yours for twenty-five years. Then it belongs to the person you used to be. Nick Morgan and Marek Kreek are total strangers who first meet at Bean & Leaf Haven, a nice coffee and tea shop, when Marek arrives there, seeking a gig as a guitarist. Immediately, Nick is struck by a sense of familiarity and accidentally embarrasses himself by ‘mistaking’ Marek for someone else. However, what initially seemed like a random accident soon becomes a confusing reality. Nick discovers he knows facts about Marek that have never been shared and recalls events he never experienced. Nick can't explain how it's happening and is shocked to learn that Marek is experiencing the same thing. As if that's not weird enough, they realize they've both been dreaming about each other in a century-old setting. Agreeing to investigate the mystery, Nick and Marek find themselves stuck in the confusing world of reincarnation. What kind of cycle allows souls to carry memories of a past life? In a state of desperation, they turn to Nick’s grandmother, Vera, a former religious scholar. With her guidance, they plan sessions of exposure therapy that will eventually lead them abroad—back to the very place where it all began.

About the author
I always found a home in writing. My journey began traditionally—with pen, paper, and stacks of notebooks—before migrating to now-forgotten blogs and, eventually, to the messy but magical world of Word documents. As an introvert, I often find my imaginary worlds far more active than my calm, monotonous daily life. In my works, I love to transform my characters' ordinary lives through fateful, supernatural events. I enjoy writing in the 3rd person POV, mostly focusing on one character to make them shine introspectively.
