Authorpreneur Dashboard – Becky Parker Geist
The Left Turn
Literature & Fiction
If your past vanished . . . who might you become?
Hannah, a forty-six year old author plagued with anxiety, and her partner James, an HR recruiter caught in a headlock of grief over his brother’s death, are as desperate for inner peace as they are clueless about how to find it.
But when they embark on a sunny bike ride shortly after moving to the San Francisco Bay Area, a split-second decision propels them into different versions of their lives—ones they don’t recognize as their own. With a mental fog obscuring their recent past and who they were, they are forced to dig inside themselves to figure out who they are now. Surprising discoveries about the nature of the universe send them on a psychological journey towards who they can be.
Will they be able to let go of their deeply ingrained subconscious beliefs about life and themselves to embrace the unfamiliar potentials they now face?
Reminiscent of the film Sliding Doors and novels The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho, The Midnight Library by Matt Haig, and The Two Lives of Lydia Byrd by Josie Silver.

Hatching Dreams
I recall a conversation with my youngest daughter, in college at the time. She doesn't remember it now, but I have held onto the wisdom she shared. We were talking about how to manifest our dreams and intentions, and she held out her hands, palms up, and said, "You have to hold hold them, but lightly, not too tight." I've experienced now many times over how dreams become reality with this simple technique. Focus intention, but hold it lightly.
Disappearing
Ever had the What If thought about just leaving behind all your connections and just breaking free? Hannah's moment of deletion mania might look like a success or a disaster, depending on your perspective. Either way, her universe is conspiring for change.
Forgetfulness
We forget who we truly are at least part of every day. So what happens when we forget the part we usually remember? Suddenly we're operating with a whole new perspective and frameworkâone where the mystical starts feeling more real.
