“M.E. Strautmanis’ Reverse Ripples will appeal to lovers of time travel novels laced with romance, fate, destiny, friendship, love and choices. Strautmanis weaves suspense and adventure into the storyline. She brings the Island of Vieques and New York City to life with vivid descriptions. Her attention to the smallest of details coupled with the first-person perspective for the narration gives the book the feel of a memoir. The plot twists were startling as I never saw them coming. Starutmanis writes with remarkable depth, which allowed me to experience the cast’s emotions.”

It’s midnight and you’re standing alone on a pitch black beach. You cannot see where the water meets the sky. Suddenly a streak of blue light illuminates the water. Did you really see that? Did that really happen?
It’s calling you in. You’re surprised by the warmth as you wade into the water. Bright ripples radiate from you, your body illuminated, as you submerge yourself in this warm darkness.
Is this magic?
You disappear into the mystery.

About m.e.
Everybody has a story.
All of my life, I have written stories on scraps of paper, in old school notebooks and in the note app of my phone. My thoughts are scattered and my interests varied, but I love possibilities and promises. I love the idea that something unexpected can happen at any time.
I start my writing by asking myself…
What would I do if… ?
How would I react if… ?
Could this really happen?
What would you do?

Read previous works by the author:
“The Adoptee's dilemma is carefully crafted here in a lovely autobiographcal tale. The good forture to have fantastic parents, and yet the eternal wondering about origins is beautifully expressed by Strautmanis. The miracle of genetic testing lends a happy ending to this sweet tale of family, love and longing. Thoroughly enjoyed.”
— Holly Manon Moore, Writer & Artist
“A very enjoyable read, full of fun insights and quirky observations.”
—Lawrence R. Chaplan, Musician
