What happens when a young woman recovering from infidelity collides with memories of tragedy and past life love?

A freethinking, emotionally-charged, highly addictive spin on love, life and the nature of reality.

In 1996, Toronto author Karen M. Black began to write in a curious, unstructured wave.

What she wrote scared her so much, that she abandoned her writing for five years. What she didn't know was that she had just written the climax of her debut novel Moondance, which would be published more than ten years later.

Today, Karen's early words are preserved virtually uncut in a series of riveting scenes that are literally keeping readers up at night.


Past life love and the true meaning of karma. Are you ready?

Moondance is modern and slightly edgy, exploring universal themes like soulmates, karma and past life love. It's not only the ideas Moondance explores that make it unique, but how it explores them. Intelligently. At a compulsively readable pace. 

Uniquely exploring the idea of choice and second chances and offering rich perspectives beyond fictional time travel books, Moondance is consistently captivating readers all over the world.

Grounded in the real world and written with short, readable chapters that grab you in the first five pages and won't let go, Moondance's pages will fly, keep you riveted and leave you thinking about your own life long after it's over.

Do you believe in reincarnation?

What is the meaning of karma and reincarnation? Is there survival after death? What is a soulmate? What is true love?

Do you believe in past life love?

What if you could travel back in time and undo those things that you regret? What if you could re-claim the past life love you've lost?

Are you captivated by karma stories, soulmate books and stories of reincarnation? Are you drawn to time travel romance books? If you can say yes to any of these questions, then I have more than a hunch that you'll love Moondance. Buy Moondance

Are you ready?

Are you ready? is a question that's asked of Moondance's main character Althea as she fights the signs of spiritual awakening. Her surprising answer takes her on a wild ride that changes her life. Is Moondance time travel romance? Psychological thriller? Magical realism? A chronicle of past life memories? Sort of. But not really.

Honestly, Moondance may be in a category all its own. It's all about past life love, it weaves together reincarnation stories, it's like time travel stories, but it's so much more. What we know is that it's radically different than other reincarnation stories and stories of spiritual awakening. We're told it's hard to put down and it stays with you long after it's over.

Plot summary

MBA student Althea Brecht's life changes overnight when she discovers her boyfriend's betrayal. Devastated, she focuses on the future. Yet the more she does, the more her past threatens to engulf her.

Desperate to forget, she falls into the arms of a lover whose desire for control borders on sexual obsession. In a chance encounter, she meets Michael Foster, a man with secrets of his own. Later, she's plagued by visions of a seductive green-eyed man who claims to be able to unlock her past and change her future.

Wondering about her own sanity, Althea seeks answers in chillingly accurate tarot card readings and in the ancient secrets of karmic astrology. In dreams, she receives unsettling messages from her step-father Albert who died when she was a child.

When tragedy strikes, Althea loses her grip on reality and everything she believes about life, her family and herself is in doubt. She's terrified to face what's happening to her. Yet she knows if she doesn't, she risks losing everything.

Addictive, intelligent and unabashedly erotic, Moondance explores life, love, the nature of reality and plunges the reader full-force into the wake of an astonishing climaxBuy Moondance
