Echoes in the Current
a novel by Vysia Yong
This is the story I couldn’t not write. Thirteen years, countless revisions, and one persistent question: what if a moment of silence could change everything?
Told through fractured timelines, unsanctioned controller logs, and moments of quiet unraveling; it is a meditation on memory, agency, and the fragile brilliance of being human. It is a story not of heroes, but of hesitations and the pauses that shape the future.
It explores what it means to speak when it matters most, and how even the smallest voice can ripple across time.
Part love letter, part warning, it’s a reminder that our voices matter more than we realize.

The Undercurrent
Behind every book is a steady presence that helps shape its becoming.
For Echoes in the Current, that presence was Joshua Lowcock. He brought discernment, clarity, and the kind of editorial pressure that sharpened the story line by line. At a pivotal moment, he reminded me it was worth sharing.
