Echoes of a Past Life

Echoes of a Past Life

After 21 years battling Chicago's deadliest blazes, firefighter Jackson Alexander retires to the quiet ranches of Big Country Texas—until nightmares of a deadly train derailment drag him back to hell.

Jackson craves peace: wide skies, no sirens, just the rhythm of ranch life. But every night, the screams return—a mangled train wreck, twisted metal, and a mysterious woman pleading, "Brad, save me!"

Who is she? How does she know him? And why does she call him Brad?

As fragmented memories flood in—ones that feel impossibly real—Jackson questions everything. Are these his buried traumas... or someone else's life bleeding into his own? The line between past and present blurs, forcing him to confront a truth that could unravel his sanity—or reveal a destiny he never knew.

A gripping psychological trauma blending heart-pounding suspense, identity twists, and the heroism of a first responder. 

Dive into the mystery that haunts Jackson's dreams. Will it redeem him... or destroy everything.

About the Author

Ruby Sloane
I’m an indie author who loves telling stories that pull you in and don’t let go—whether that’s through suspense, emotion, or a little cozy mystery. I love to read as well, having a goal of 100-150 books per year. I live in Texas along with my husband and German Shepherd. I've been writing since I was a young girl but only started publishing in January 2026.
