"What I loved most about this story: it made me think." ★★★★★

An inevitable breakthrough. An irresistible opportunity. The second chance of a lifetime.

My name is Charlotte Rhys Fenn. Call me Charley, and I guess you could call me a guinea pig too. I prefer to describe myself as a leader by example, though. Here begins my story, and yet, it doesn't end here.

In the not too distant future, a bioengineering breakthrough-touted the modern-day fountain of youth-will change the world ever after, one life at a time, beginning with mine. You see, like many people, I have regrets. On the verge of depression and disturbed by the machinations of our technologically-driven world, I longed for that road not taken. Then one day, the answer presented itself: Renovation.

For the unimaginative, Renovation was just another anti-aging cosmetic procedure. For me, it was the second chance of a lifetime. Transforming from fifty-five to seventeen, those long since buried dreams would be again within my grasp. And the best part: behind the fresh face of youth, I would be the same. With all my past experiences and memories on my side, I could pursue a new career and have a bit of youthful adventure as well. Two things only life regression could promise.

Still, my decision would warp my life in unimaginable ways, creating a chasm between myself and the ones I love most in this world. This is something you should keep in mind before you decide to travel down such a path-after you re-imagine the future of your dreams, that is.

Flash Back is a character-driven, speculative, mind-bending story for fans of social science fiction and literary fiction with a hint of romance.

You've likely heard it once or twice or even found yourself saying, "In hindsight...." Well, Flash Back will leave you questioning whether the rewards of being able to redo past choices are worth the risks.

Given the chance, would you drink from the fountain's waters?

BONUS: This edition includes an excerpt from Second Nature, book two of The Fountain trilogy.
