Koi Pierce dreams other peoples’ dreams.

Her whole life she’s avoided other people. Any skin-to-skin contact—a hug from her sister, the hand of a barista at Stumptown coffee—transfers flashes of that person’s most intense dreams. It’s enough to make anyone a hermit.

But Koi’s getting her act together. No matter what, this time she’s going to finish her degree at Portland Community College and get a real life. Of course it’s not going to be that easy. Her father, increasingly disturbed from Alzheimer’s disease, a dream fragment of a dead girl from the casual brush of a creepy PCC professor’s hand, and a mysterious stranger who speaks the same rare Northern Japanese dialect as Koi’s father will force Koi to learn to trust in the help of others, as well as face the truth about herself.

 

This book is fantastic. When it was submitted to World Weaver Press I whined, wheedled and made deals to ensure that I was the editor who got to work on it — and it was totally worth it. It’s got a likable, fallible main character in Koi, creepy antagonists and enigmatic supporting characters. It tangles together Japanese mythology with mythologies from other places in the world and left me desperately wanting to visit Portland.

At the very least you’re going to want to add it to your Goodreads shelves but I’d suggest going one step further…

Dream Eater will be available April 4, 2017 but you can (and should!) pre-order it now!
