Soul Sleep sequel takes dreamscape to new depths
Wisconsin author’s genre-bending book series returns on Oct. 2. “If Sin Dwells Deep,” the second installment in David Michael Williams’ speculative fiction series, The Soul Sleep Cycle, tells the story of dream drifters—gifted individuals who can invade the dreams of others.
- Fond du Lac, WI (1888PressRelease) September 19, 2018 - Even good girls have secrets…
“If Sin Dwells Deep,” the second installment in David Michael Williams’ speculative fiction series, tells the story of Allison, a straight-laced woman who transforms into a rebellious goddess when she dreams.
“Allison is living a double life,” the Wisconsin author said. “She thinks having a fling in the dreamscape is harmless fun until a sadistic predator learns her true identity and she must deal with the real-world consequences.”
The 380-page paperback and e-book delves deeper into the hidden world of dream drifters, people who possess the power to invade the minds of others. “If Sin Dwells Deep” also sheds light on the war between gifted government agents and those who would use their abilities to corrupt life, death and the afterlife—a conflict only hinted at in the first book.
As with its predecessor, “If Souls Can Sleep,” the new novel contains elements of science fiction, fantasy, suspense, metafiction and more.
“It’s a wonderfully weird mashup,” Williams said. “I took a risk by doing something different. Given the positive reception of the first book, I’m thrilled to report that readers apparently appreciate the strangeness.”
Although “If Sin Dwells Deep” is the second book in The Soul Sleep Cycle, it is not a typical sequel.
“Book Two is a parallel novel, which means the plot runs concurrently with that of Book One. It’s another side of the story. The two books are interconnected yet independent,” Williams said.
“Which means readers can enjoy ‘If Sin Dwells Deep’ without having read ‘If Souls Can Sleep,’” he added.
Williams’ indie publishing company, One Million Words, will publish “If Sin Dwells Deep” next month. The e-book is currently available for preorder through the Kindle Store, while the paperback will be available at Amazon.com on Oct. 2.
The third installment in The Soul Sleep Cycle, “If Dreams Can Die,” is slated for publication in spring 2019.
In addition to The Soul Sleep Cycle, Williams is the author of The Renegade Chronicles, a fantasy trilogy comprised of “Rebels and Fools,” “Heroes and Liars,” and “Martyrs and Monsters.” He is a 1999 graduate of UW-Fond du Lac and a 2001 graduate of UW-Milwaukee, where he studied creative writing. He joined the Allied Authors of Wisconsin in 2005 and the Wisconsin Writers Association in 2018.
