Sea of Tranquility

The novel follows several people in different eras whose lives are touched by the same strange time anomaly: a brief darkness, violin music, and a disorienting sense that reality has slipped. The opening threads include a young exile in 1912 Canada, a woman in 2020 searching for a lost friend, and a bestselling writer in 2203 traveling between Earth and a moon colony.

As the story moves forward, these separate lives begin to echo and overlap, with recurring images, shared names, and book-to-book connections gradually revealing how the timelines relate. A detective from the far future is drawn into the mystery and begins investigating the anomaly, while the story also folds in pandemics, book tours, and questions about whether the world itself may be a simulation.

The narrative keeps widening across centuries until the various threads converge. The book is structured around revelation and linkage, with the mystery of the anomaly gradually becoming a larger inquiry into time, reality, human choice, and what connects people across distance and duration.
