"The sequel to Second Lives, praised by Publishers Weekly as ""a rewarding exploration of the emotions felt both by those confronting their own deaths and those left behind to mourn.""

It has been four years since the first Travellers came back, and in that time their numbers have grown. There is still no explanation for their existence, but for the most part they have been accepted into society and given special protection under the law. There are those, however, who see these Imposters as a threat to both their lives and their faith. The True Borns believe in ""One Body, One Soul"" and will do everything and anything in their power to put an end to the Travellers.

AUTHOR: P.D. Cacek has published over a hundred short stories and five published novels. A past Guest Lecturer at the Odyssey Writing Camp, Cacek's horror, fantasy and science fiction stories have appeared in numerous magazines and anthologies since going professional in the late 90's. She is also proud of the book she recently co-edited, with Laura J. Hickman, the charity anthology, Now I Lay Me Down to Sleep, with all proceeds going to The Jimmy Fund of the DANA-BARBER Cancer Institute."

Reviews for Second Chances (#2 Second) (Fiction Without Frontiers)

P.D. Cacek is the most lyrical-and the scariest-writer to emerge in the horror field in the 90's. I see a shining future for this priestess of the Dark. - S.P. Somtow, Author of Valentine Cacek is certainly one of horror's most important up and comers. - Matt Schwartz, Horrornet Praise for Second Lives: Readers will find this a rewarding exploration of the emotions felt both by those confronting their own deaths and those left behind to mourn. - Publishers Weekly SECOND LIVES is a wonderfully stunning novel, and a definite candidate to reread. - The Haunted Reading Room P.D. Cacek's Second Lives is every bit heartbreakingly beautiful as it is compelling. - Cedar Hollow Horror Reviews This novel is a spellbinding and original exploration of reincarnation...wondrous concept brought to life by P.D. Cacek - Well Worth a Read ...not only one of Cacek's finest works but one any fan of supernatural fiction will savor. - The Horror Fiction Review Fantastic and original, character driven and exciting, this is compelling from start to finish. Looking forward to more from Cacek! - Library Thing
