Nicole Bross’s two standalone novels take different approaches to a shared preoccupation with how the past follows us. Past Presence (2019) literalizes this idea with a protagonist who can see other people’s previous incarnations, turning a speculative premise into a story about empathy, community, and the weight of accumulated experience.
Moving On (2022) handles the theme in a more conventional way, exploring grief and recovery without supernatural elements. Together, the two books show a writer interested in the boundary between what we remember and what we choose to carry forward, whether the memories belong to this life or another one entirely.
