Cameron Walkes is a Barbadian-born novelist who hasn’t sold anything for nearly a year when he is encouraged to write an autobiography. A reluctant Cameron knows he is facing many obstacles. What lessons could he teach? How could he explain the recurrent dreams that had gradually increased his stress? Despite his trepidation, Cameron writes the first words of his autobiography later that night. As his life story laboriously begins to take shape, Cameron traces his development from a poor fishing village in Barbados, through athletic and teaching careers, and finally to attain a role as president of an American college. While chronicling his pursuit of the American Dream, Cameron also details why he left academia to take up writing as a profession, and shares a glimpse into his mindset as his physical prowess declines, leaving him with no choice but to face his own mortality. But just as life comes full circle, fate intervenes and provides an unexpected ending to Cameron’s story. In this intriguing novel, a Barbadian immigrant who reluctantly begins penning his autobiography in an effort to boost his writing career embarks on a journey inward to reflect on his experiences.

Where paths cross, fear lives. Driving off-road across the African savannah is never easy, especially during an alien invasion. Having a crime lord handcuffed to the steering wheel and a pet monster in the back seat, definitely doesn’t help. But it gets worse when Trisha, Simba, and their dysfunctional crew cross paths with the wrong people. And these days, all people are the wrong people. Pursued by both the local army and the aliens, Trisha also has to worry about her daughter Celine’s growing powers. If Celine can stay alive long enough to learn how they work, they just might survive. So they’re racing for Mt. Kenya, hoping to find safe haven. Problem is, they aren’t the only ones. A great migration is in motion: animals, humans, and aliens seeking a mythical place where gods and demons are resurrected. All paths converge on the mountain — but some of those paths are definitely, dangerously wrong. Convergence is the second book in the Avery Blake and Vered Ehsani series, The Next Evolution.

National Book Award Finalist: “This man’s ideas may be the most influential, not to say controversial, of the second half of the twentieth century.”—Columbus Dispatch At the heart of this classic, seminal book is Julian Jaynes's still-controversial thesis that human consciousness did not begin far back in animal evolution but instead is a learned process that came about only three thousand years ago and is still developing. The implications of this revolutionary scientific paradigm extend into virtually every aspect of our psychology, our history and culture, our religion—and indeed our future. “Don’t be put off by the academic title of Julian Jaynes’s The Origin of Consciousness in the Breakdown of the Bicameral Mind. Its prose is always lucid and often lyrical…he unfolds his case with the utmost intellectual rigor.”—The New York Times “When Julian Jaynes . . . speculates that until late in the twentieth millennium BC men had no consciousness but were automatically obeying the voices of the gods, we are astounded but compelled to follow this remarkable thesis.”—John Updike, The New Yorker “He is as startling as Freud was in The Interpretation of Dreams, and Jaynes is equally as adept at forcing a new view of known human behavior.”—American Journal of Psychiatry
