Her discovery would rewrite history... starting with her own.
Lyra Goodwin's quiet life in Liverpool is shattered when she unearths a strange, humming device hidden in a derelict warehouse—an artifact pulsing with otherworldly energy, clearly not of this time.
One accidental touch and the object roars to life, violently catapulting her through the decades. Lyra crashes into the gritty, unfamiliar streets of 1969, a dangerous anachronism in a past she only knows from history books.
Alone, disoriented, and marked as an outsider, she must fight for survival in a world that is now her terrifying present. But what is the mysterious device, why did it send her here, and can she ever find her way home before the past consumes her?

Review from Kelly Cresswell via Facebook (25.06.2025)
I’ve been reading ‘Echoes’ during my holiday and can highly recommend trying one of Dave’s books…beautifully written: an engaging, descriptive and interesting story that has kept me fully engaged whilst chilling out in the 35 degree Mallorcan heat
10 from me xx
She was his muse. He was her masterpiece. Their love was a beautiful, chaotic, and ultimately destructive mess.
When shy, introspective literature student Neil collides with Gemma, a whirlwind of artistic energy and fierce independence, his grey, solitary world is flooded with colour. She is everything he is not: loud, confident, and unapologetically herself. Gemma sees the poet and musician hidden behind Neil’s quiet exterior, and she pulls him into her vibrant, chaotic orbit, a world of unauthorised murals, impromptu jam sessions, and underground gigs.
Drawn to her flame, Neil begins to find his voice, his secret lyrics taking on new life through their intense, all-consuming connection. But the very passion that fuels their creativity also threatens to tear them apart. As their individual dreams begin to pull them in different directions—Gemma towards a prestigious London art school and Neil towards a promising music career—the beautiful world they’ve built together begins to fracture.
Set against the backdrop of Manchester’s thriving 90s music scene, Come As You Are is a raw, honest, and heartbreaking love story about two people who find and lose themselves in each other. It’s a novel about the intoxicating, beautiful, and often painful collision of art, love, and ambition, and asks whether a fire that burns so brightly can ever truly last.
