Anna Elias is a screenwriter who began her career as Don
Johnson's assistant on Miami Vice. She's worked on feature films
such as Nell, The Rainmaker, The Client, 12 Monkeys, A Time to
Kill, and Practical Magic. She has written and co-written spec
films, TV scripts, and award-winning shorts. Anna's passion for
justice translates to her work. This was especially true on the set
of John Grisham's A Time to Kill. Canton, Mississippi had just
suffered great racial hardship and division in a Mayoral race. With
Anna's encouragement, the movie crew made extra efforts to
befriend, buy from, and work with the townspeople, and it served to
break down walls of inequality and injustice that had divided the
town for decades. The impact was so positive that Dan Rather
traveled there to tape a 2-part special for 48 Hours.
"In the Vessels Program, spirits of the dead return to inhabit the
bodies of human vessels and visit their still-living relations to
right past wrongs. Sam has just established a program in Reno,
Nevada, and recruited four vessels, Tal, Link, Avani, and Aaron.
They have all suffered from life's cruelties and are more than
willing to let the spirits inhabit them for their seven-day journey
of redemption as the spirits seek forgiveness or to forgive loved
ones. One of the Spirits, however, is a terrifying, vengeful
revenant not interested in redemption. As the three benevolent
spirits work toward accomplishing their missions, the vessel for
the fourth must figure out a way to prevent this vengeful spirit
from harming others. This unique novel mixes social commentary,
Native American mysticism, the power of love and forgiveness, and
ghostly spirits. This gothic speculative tale will appeal to sf and
horror fans alike, and the open-ended finale leaves plenty of room
for a sequel." Booklist
