When she was a little girl, Amy Holland's father started losing his memory. The moment she realized, she vowed to find a way to save him.
Two decades later, Amy has dedicated her life to studying the brain, while her father is almost a complete blank slate. So far, she hasn't found a way to fix the problem.
Fortunately, Amy's girlfriend -- a scientist in her own right -- just had a breakthrough on her own pet project time travel. If Amy can just figure out why her father started to forget, she's confident she can save him, even if she has to do it in the past, before his memories started to fade.
But when Amy discovers the horrible secret of what caused her father's memory loss, there's only one thing she can do to save him -- and to do that, she's going to have to forget everything she knows.
"Like the best science fiction, the emphasis of 'Memories of My Father' is less on the technology that makes time travel possible and more on the believably complex and heart wrenching situations that make the human experience so uniquely tragic." -Sabrina Peña Young, composer and author of LIBERTARIA GENESIS
"'Memories of My Father' gets to the science-fictiony widget early, points it out for the audience, and goes right back to tearing apart the reader with emotional human drama. Don’t worry, though; there’s still enough widget for any SF fan." -K.T. Katzmann, author of MURDER WITH MONSTERS

PRAISE FOR JOSH ROSEMAN'S "THE CLOCKWORK RUSSIAN"
"This is a great book, the kind you read for enjoyment rather than duty. It crosses time and space, from steampunk to space opera, and the stories are intelligent, compelling, and always entertaining." -Sean McMullen, winner of the Aurealis and Australian Science Fiction awards, and author of the Greatwinter trilogy
"Clever, thought-provoking, and occasionally unsettling in all the best ways, The Clockwork Russian challenges and encourages the reader to see something new in a genre most wrongly decide is not for them. Definitely a must-have on your bookshelf." -Andy Martello, author of The King of Casinos Willie Martello and the El Rey Club
"Josh Roseman transports the reader into his stories with vivid details and incredible pacing; a moment never lingers too long, and I can see the scene unfold in my mind's eye." -Beau Hall, author of Snapshot
"The Clockwork Russian includes more than a dozen thought-provoking stories that reach out, grab you, and make you want to keep reading well into the night. Each one is more intriguing than the last, building strange worlds, situations, and characters that remain long after the page-turning pleasure has passed." -Big Anklevich, co-editor of The Dunesteef Audio Fiction Magazine
"A diverse and fiercely-intelligent collection, these are stories that interrogate the future while reflecting on the past. Highly recommended." -C. S. McMullen, AWGIE-nominated screenwriter and author
Memories of My Father eBook Josh Roseman Sara Noto
Mr. Roseman's "Memories of My Father" is a compelling, intellectual novella with a premise and family relationships that are both unique and relatable. The casual narrative guides readers through a story that grows in complexity page-by-page. Starting simply, with a father losing his memory and his family grappled with caring for the ailing man, the story grows, primarily following the man's daughter who sacrifices almost everything for the benefit of her dad and others suffering like him. The reader hits several twists along the way, from time-traveling elements to surprising revelations of the root cause of the father's condition.I found the character relationships to be sweet and heart-felt. In the Afterward, Mr. Roseman reveals his personal connections to the story. This personal touch rings true throughout the novella. The writing is smooth and doesn't bog down in unnecessary descriptive detail. The frequent jumps in time are jarring at first, but once the reader gets into the rhythm, they help advance the story efficiently, giving little time for the reader to catch his/her breath before the next twist.
I highly recommend this novella. It's a quick read whose insight and themes linger with the reader long after finishing. I look forward to reading more by Mr. Roseman.

Memories of My Father is a fascinating sci-fi twist on the subject of memory loss and it's impact on those affected. I was crying by the end of the book and still wanted to read it again. I highly recommend it!
DISCLOSURE I received a preview copy of this book from the author.
WOW! I DID NOT SEE THAT COMING! As always, Mr. Roseman delivers with a craft comparable--if not outright BETTER--than the likes of King or Baxter. Never have I ever been disappointed by the twists and turns this author puts his readers through, and it is always a delight to see that he has written yet another masterpiece to sink my teeth into. A MUST READ! Thank you for sharing this with the world, Mr. Roseman!
The author sent me a review copy of this title, and I loved every page of it!
Memories of My Father is another engaging, superbly crafted story by Josh Roseman.

Full disclosure I received a review copy from the author prior to release, which is great, since I am a big fan of his writing.
A twist I never saw coming in a compact story. I had no idea where this was going at first, but fear not, it does go somewhere. A good solid story.
