This is not just a love story; it's a journey through the human soul, a celebration of art's immortality, and a tribute to those loves that, though lost to time, continue to shape our very beings. It's a story that resonates with anyone who has ever loved deeply, felt the sting of loss, and dared to dream of love that lasts beyond a lifetime.
Facing enlistment in the Algerian War in 1950s Paris, French Army officer Yann Roussel had a heavy heart for his future. Seeking solace, he found The Journal of Marie Bashkirtseff, the diary of a late French-Russian artist who’d lived in the late 1800s.
Marie's diary, posthumously published (to bestselling success), offers sensual details of a bohemian life cut short, fascinated Yann. Soon, fascination gave way to near madness when he found himself in love with the spirit of a dead woman.
The Reincarnation of Marie, a historical romance by Jim Woodman, tells the story of how Yann’s obsession led to a love affair with Marya, a haunted young art student with uncanny similarities to Marie. Convinced he'd discovered Marie’s spirit reincarnated, Yann found the impossible love he'd been looking for—just before leaving for war.
Based on the authors experience, The Reincarnation of Marie is a rich narrative blurring historical reality with supernatural love. In the end, we’re left with one question: can love truly conquer all—even death?

In development, with a working title of Slippin’ - a love story about reincarnation and slippin’ through time. Most of us are intrigued by time travel, which is often seen as a science fiction fantasy. However, what if time travel is less about controlling time and more about transcending our perception of it?
In our dreams, time is not linear—it bends, jumps, and warps. This introduces the concept of “Time Slippers,” individuals who experience time non-linearly, even while awake. More common than believed, these people navigate a reality where they confront their “Shadow,” as Carl Jung describes it—the dark, repressed aspects of the psyche. Facing these aspects is crucial for personal growth and connecting with one’s potential.
“Slippin'” follows our hero, whose journey is not just about navigating these experiences but understanding the mystical power he’s had since childhood and falls in love with the reincarnated Marie Bashkirtseff. The series, being developed by Doug Weiser and Henry Woodman, delves into themes of self-discovery, the metaphysical, and the quest for understanding beyond our conventional perception of time and space. .
