so, as part of the pair of novels (Watcher and Reaper FP#3) I'm currently working on, I'm, “Investigating THE OTHER SIDE,” whatever form that might take or whatever imagery that might put into your head. Let's put it this way, “Duality, or dual purpose/function, is an essential part of both these novels' narratives. They're not even necessarily 'the same book' seen through narrative filters; they have their own unique story to tell.

Watcher is about a man finding himself through eight others. Reaper is about averting an Extinction Level Event after which mankind, as we know it, is no more. I've already addressed such a(n eternal) duality issue in my recent novel Tandem, which wasn't just about a boy-girl team of secret G3 agents working for 'the dark government' i.e. the one we never see but still pay for with our taxes, it was also about DUAL nature (dual existence) in general. At the personal, atomic and galactic levels, everything seems to have its twin. I use this concept in Tandem, and I'm exploring it further in Watcher, and to a lesser extent in Reaper.

Duality seems to be 'the norm' in this universe, rather than the exception – soul/life mates, parallel space/time locations, electron/proton pairings, yin-yang; the very definition of the term co-incidence. But how do we make sense of our 'dual lives'? How do we discover what it means to be alive?
