John Donne wrote that no man is an island. Every life is interdependent with other lives, and you cannot exist alone. True, even to the point of existence itself, because without an interrelationship between two other people, you cannot be born at all.

But is there a deeper significance to Donne’s words? What of the interlinking of minds, in that barely understood world of the sixth sense? Who has not experienced the eerie sensation of déjà vu when you suddenly feel as if everything that is happening now has happened before? Is there a valid reason for that instant antipathy on meeting someone for the first time, or conversely an instant attraction? Why should a place feel familiar although you know you have never been there? And why do certain eras from the past draw you into history, hauntingly, as if their story were yours?

Fly the Wild Echoes explores these phenomena in the interwoven tales of three women, apparently unrelated, whose lives touch briefly, but with tragic consequences. The stories unfold piece by piece as the protagonist, Fliss Gregory, struggles to make sense of an inexplicable picture that has invaded her mind in nightmare.

The story is set in the last decade of the 20th century, in the time just before the explosion of electronic communication, where it was still possible to escape from the world, without the intrusion of the internet, laptops and mobile phones. Her retreat from the bombardment of outside noise enables Fliss to tune in to the deeper levels of consciousness in which her truth lies buried.

The echoes of the title resonate through the layers, one within the other, as they are stripped away. And perhaps there is laid bare a deeper truth to the poet’s words. No man is an island, for even his little island may be crowded with other lives.
