Announcing the release of "Ten Thousand New Year's Eves" by Dawn DeAnna Wilson
-----Billie Hinton, author, "claire-obscure"
From award-winning North Carolina writer Dawn DeAnna Wilson (author of "Leaving the Comfort Cafe") comes this novel of tangled lives desperately searching for a new beginning.
Mallory has a neurological condition which causes her to see certain letters in different colors and taste certain flavors whenever she hears sound. The condition is synesthesia, and researchers believe it may be caused by overlapping brain neurons...but try explaining that to her well-meaning but clueless friend Rochelle, who seems to be more concerned with rescuing animals.
Rochelle takes Mallory to New York City for New Year's Eve to help Mallory forget about the man she has a crush on, and en route to city, their paths intersect other pilgrims seeking a new beginning, including:
Stephen, a washed-up contemporary Christian singer who has "crossed over" to mainstream rock music and is expected to perform in Times Square on New Year's Eve.
Tad, a NYPD wannabe who never finished police academy due to a bad knee.
River, a tree-hugging kayak enthusiast who believes she's in love with Poseidon, the god of the sea.
David, a psychologist who is conducting extensive research about synesthesia...and Mallory...
Wendy, a teenage gospel singing sensation who is madly in love with her minster's nephew, but she cannot tell him the truth about a past relationship.
Liam, a blind man who is not what he seems.
Kelso, a nervous German Shepherd and former police dog who has been traumatized by an event in his past.
The novel takes the reader from North Carolina to Atlanta to New York City, illustrating that all things are bound together in a web of life---all things connect. What we do to the web, we do to ourselves.
