What if you met the man of your dreams but he was already married... to you? Jamais Vu is a time-traveling romance wrapped in a deadly mystery. Nessa is in the last year of her university studies when she begins to experience strange phenomena - waves of déjà vu, convincing her that she is familiar with places she's never been before. When she sees a bearded stranger, she is powerfully drawn to him, feeling as though she knows the older man already. But Dan is overwhelmed by the appearance of the beautiful younger woman, who is actually a youthful version of his missing wife. Nessa is somehow travelling ten years into the future to meet up with her the man who will eventually become her husband. Past and future become entangled as Nessa meets a young Dan in her present, while ten years in the future, Dan strives to save his wife from the clutches of a lethal serial killer. The clock is ticking as both a young Nessa and an older Dan attempt to keep the future intact, and restrain themselves from falling in love with the wrong version of each other. But is it cheating on someone if you're in love with who they are - just in another time?

"When I was born I was so small I was mistaken for a french fry. I was never an ordinary child. My best friend was a seagull. I was also illegal. Artificially intelligent people like me had been banned ever since that thing with the Twelve Elevens. Mother raised me for profit. Buyers and sellers had other plans for me, but then I grew a mind of my own. This is the story of how my brain ended up inside this box." Candles is a black-market, "artificially intelligent person" (or A.I.P., or "ape" in the colloquial sense, as in 'the planet of the'), an organic being, farm-raised on genetically engineered smoothies and destined for auction to the highest bidding criminal enterprise. Gifted with the ability to communicate with foul-mouthed seagulls and ill-tempered felines, this gender-less, age-less, race-less creature has to find its way to escape from the clutches of its mother and other assorted enemies, in this fairly exciting and ultimately utterly unexpected story.
