Summary:

Beautiful, talented, and about to inherit – Why is Sarah’s heart in turmoil...? Sarah Miller, the new darling of the Chamber Music Society, the protégée cellist of their in-house Quartet, receives rave reviews for her first series of concerts. She has just buckled her last term at New York’s prestigious music academy of Julliard when a hit-and-run driver strikes her down and disrupts her plans. Luckily unscathed, engagements still need postponing until proper exercises can restore agility and full mobility to her bruised wrist. While the melody is interrupted, Sarah meets up with the formidable Spinner brothers. The younger Mark, handsome and charming, sweeps her off her feet. The elder Julian, black sheep, black belted, and daunting black mood enjoys badgering and humiliating her. Her wrist recovered, playing music again, Sarah wonders which exercises will mend a bruised ego and an aching heart. ...Perhaps it’s because she is unworldly, unsophisticated – an orphan raised by tutors and nannies who ran to the bright lights of New York City...only to slam into the dark heart of Julian Spinner.

Summary:

“Every child is an artist. The problem is how to remain an artist once we grow up.” Pablo Picasso---- Believing WE ARE ALL CREATIVE, Echosis explores the consequences of a world where the threat of a global strike by artists of all disciplines brings the brokers of art, entertainment and the media to their knees. Reminiscent, in part, of NETWORK and its plea for a public to speak out, in anger if necessary, Echosis chronicles the growth of NYC sculptor, Derek Turrel, and the obstacles he encounters in trying to hold onto his integrity as he realizes success and influence via his new paradigm for Art and Entertainment appreciation. He proffers his beliefs to a world gone amuck with media's continued contempt for individuality and its determination to "give the people what they want" instead of affording them a creative opportunity for learning "what they need." AS A RESPECTFUL REQUEST, PLEASE START ANY REVIEWING WITH CHAPTER ONE, AS JUMPING INTO THE MIDDLE OF A NOVEL IS RUDE AND COUNTERPRODUCTIVE TO BOTH WRITER AND READER. IGNORING THIS REQUEST WILL RESULT IN MY NOT READING YOUR REVIEW, AND AN AUTOMATIC 1 RATING FOR LACK OF RESPECT.
