-Life is confusing with 30,000 years of alien experiences thumb-tacked to the back of your brain. When eleven-year-old Kailin and her younger brother escape from their off-world captors and her brother is recaptured, only Kailin's encounter with a salamander saves her from a volcanic eruption. The salamander is Henki, a thirty-thousand-year-old shape-changing alien whose obsession is imitating the full lifecycle of each species he encounters. Henki has experienced many such lives, but complications in bonding with Kailin while escaping the volcano limit Henki's abilities.Burned by the volcano and confused by her tie to Henki, Kailin loses some of her memory, but while she recovers and yearns for her home and family, she makes friends among the exotic Vanhem Pi. Memories from Henki's many lives seep into her dreams to produce disturbing visions of events she never experienced. It's tough enough being a pubescent girl without being haunted by alien lives, but without those add-on experiences, Kailin may have difficulty surviving on this mish-mash world. Mistress of Vision is Book 1 of a Young Adult science-fantasy series. Cover design and layout by Pat R. Steiner.
