Jurassic Jail, The Time Wars Book 1 by William Alan Webb

The Time Wars have begun!

Can you prosecute a 155 million year old murder if the victim is still alive? Peter Dance thinks he can, unless the killers get him first.

During a shady militia meeting in New Orleans, a famous scientist claims a bold discovery. The government mole in the group, known only as Gomorrah, knows he’s been tagged. He takes off with carloads of gunners on his tail.

Meanwhile, a partial skeleton turns up in a flooded Tennessee ditch, the bones brown and aged from long years buried. But something is very wrong with those bones. M.E. Sydney Hammick tries to interest D.A. Peter Dance in the mystery, but Dance now has a wife and kids and doesn’t want to play her games.

But someone nasty wants those bones, and he doesn’t care who he must kill to get them. When bullets fly, only Gomorrah can save Hammick and Dance — and the bones — from vanishing into the mists of time… or into the jaws of a long extinct killer.

Mad Max meets Bones and Jurassic Park in this explosive new time travel thriller by bestselling author William Alan Webb!

Time Is Irreverent by Marty Essen

AN IRREVERENT, LIBERAL, TWISTY, TIME TRAVEL COMEDY!

What if you could make a change to history that would eliminate the Spanish Inquisition, American slavery, World War II, global warming, and an egomaniacal US president who thought he was smart enough to drop nuclear bombs here and there without negative consequences? What if that change also made the United States and 5 billion people poof from existence? Would you do it?

When alien time travel specialists, the Krichards, learn of President Handley’s game of dodge the mushroom cloud, they race to Earth to investigate. For them, the question of whether it’s worth it to change history is easy to answer, but they will only proceed if the human they deem best qualified to represent Earth agrees to make the change. Erasing Handley’s nuclear annihilation would require a quick jump to AD 31 to make a simple correction to the past. If the Krichards had selected a brilliant scientist or an elite athlete for the task, Earth might be in good hands. Instead they selected Marty Mann, a mildly successful travel writer, whose only superpower is not taking life too seriously. What could possibly go wrong?

Spanning from the Cretaceous period to 2056, Time is Irreverent is a hilarious, thought-provoking satire, with unpredictable twists, colorful aliens, huge dinosaurs, a smokin’ hot lesbian from the future, and a cameo from Jesus Christ himself!

The Princelings of the East by Jemima Pett

The first book of the Princelings of the East series introduces us to Princelings George and Fred. Imagine them scurrying around the castle using secret passages, carrying out scientific experiments that occasionally blow up in their faces, or quaffing ale at their favourite tavern.

But there is trouble in their world. They may not use much energy, but when they do, it is usually for important occasions. Energy draining to a halt to ruin the King’s Birthday celebrations is enough to send the king at Castle in the Marsh into a rage, and demand that everyone cease and desist from using it. George’s latest machine is destroyed; their world looks to be falling apart. So who better to go and solve the problem of this energy drain than the Princelings themselves?

Leaving the security of their Castle is a big step into the unknown for these boys, and they soon meet strangers, some of whom are stranger than others. Who to trust? Prince Lupin, so suave and sophisticated, with so many hangers-on fawning at his feet? The businessman, Hugo, who seems so smooth and worldly, yet has an air of deceit about him? The young barkeeper, Victor, always bustling around and never bothering to string a sentence together when three words will do, unless for royalty? And that’s just Fred’s problem, since he has irritatingly lost touch with George in the darkness of the strange tunnel that appeared from nowhere in the corner of their room.

Meanwhile George seems to have been transported to another world, full of hustle, bustle and shining towers. Where, or when, is he? How come these strangers know so much more about his reputation than he does himself? And will he manage to escape being thrown into a dungeon or killed by an assassin?

One man is her soulmate.

Another owns a piece of her heart.

Together they share a distant past that will change everything. Forever.

IN THIS LIFE
When psychologist Lottie Morgan meets Galen, their encounter is as intense as it is eye-opening. Something about him is familiar. His looks. His words. His touch.

Lottie can’t resist the urge to know more about him, or the smoldering memories that surface every time he’s near. Only Galen’s keeping a dangerous secret, one linked to a life shared thousands of years ago. One that could destroy the relationship Lottie has with her current lover David.

One that is about to cost Lottie her life. Again.

Take a trip to mysterious ancient Egypt, where powerful passions ignite and deadly deceptions begin. The Past Life Series starts here.

COVET
Everyone wants something. Even if it belongs to someone else.

And some will destroy the very thing they want, just so no one else can have it.

Professional soldier David Bellotti’s latest mission seems simple: steal the key card to a drug lord’s compound so the empire can be infiltrated and destroyed. But when David discovers evidence of his lover Lottie’s possible infidelity, his mission turns personal. He searches for answers others would kill to keep buried and discovers a link to the past he’s been trying hard to ignore.

Ancient lives, twelve thousand year old secrets, murder, and primal instincts lead David on a journey through past lives and present danger all to save the woman he loves.

Find your way back through alternate history, when hunter-gatherers roamed and David and Lottie’s supernatural incarnations began.

YESTERDAY PEOPLE
David Bellotti’s only focus is to find his abducted twelve-year old daughter. When he sees her on a news segment with her captor, a renowned archaeologist who’s made a major discovery, David sets out to bring her back home. But the search leads him to a secret message that could alter man’s history forever.

A message David and his daughter inscribed twelve-thousand years ago.

A message that will prove dangerous in the wrong hands.

Protecting this powerful information seems simple until David realizes some people will use his daughter against him to get it, at whatever the cost. Now David must make a choice. Protect mankind from a secret past that must remain hidden, or save his little girl.

Readers call the Past Life Series “Epic”, “Addictive”, and “Impossible to put down.”

How is Writing In Your Genre Different from Others?
Fantasy must be absolutely the most fun genre to write in. We fantasy writers can let our imaginations run wild building new worlds, creating extraordinary creatures, and devising otherworldly adventures. As much as possible, I try to do my research and keep my creations believable, so as not to stretch the bounds of suspended disbelief to the breaking point, but for the most part, I just want the reader to have an awesome time in a completely unique environment.

What Advice Would You Give Aspiring Writers?
The best advice I ever received about writing was “just finish it.” I had several half-finished novels languishing in a drawer, and my current story seemed to be going nowhere. A local author visited my son’s school and over lunch she convinced me that finishing the first draft–no matter how ugly–was 80 percent of the battle. I took her advice and even though the story shifted and changed over the course of the drafting process, and I did about a million rewrites, I finally finished my first novel, TRANSCENDER. It felt great!

Author Bio:
Prior to becoming an author and publisher of young adult fiction, Vicky Savage enjoyed many diverse occupations; flagman on a construction crew, trial lawyer, and healthcare company executive, to name a few. She holds a bachelor’s degree in Sociology from the University of Minnesota and a Juris Doctorate from the Florida State University College of Law. She has resided in seven different states and London, England.
Vicky currently lives on the west coast of Florida with her boyishly charming husband, her handsome son, and two effervescent dogs. She is diligently working on Illuminosity, Book 3 of the Transcender Trilogy.

What Inspired You to Write Your Book?
I believe that, at some point, everyone wishes to possess magical powers of some kind! Don’t you? If I could choose my power, I’d choose to have the ability to travel among different dimensions and visit new and exotic worlds. Also, I think it would be fun to experience different lives simultaneously. Of course, if I could choose a life to experience, even temporarily, it would be that of a princess or queen (or, let’s face it, a rock star). So, I gave my protagonist this remarkable ability, and presto, she wound up in a parallel universe where she was a princess! How cool is that?
