Joining me this episode to talk about his book The Karma Factor, among other things, is Thomas Lane.

Thomas is an author, a musician, a painter and a poet. Growing up, he was deeply influenced by poet singer songwriters, Bob Dylan, and Leonard Cohen. He was also drawn to landscapes where street spirit and progressive values intersect civil rights relationships, the search for higher ground, as well as wild and wacky things that happen along the way.

Thomas is also the founder of The Helen Hudson Foundation, a not-for-profit organization inspired and dedicated to his late mother, that uses the power of story to help end homelessness.

Thomas’ book The Karma Factor’s plot revolves around a highly decorated but conflicted cop who gains access to a database of past lives (the Akashic Records). Using these expanded “profiles,” he begins solving cases from a deeper perspective. In the process, our hero (James Bond meets Sherlock Holmes meets Siddhartha) is forced to evolve: struggling to overcome his own dark past to take on the mantle of an “awakened” detective.
