Synopsis

Winner of 7 awards including the prestigious Prism Award for Time Travel London, September 1888. An aged Queen Victoria rules. The threat of anarchy hovers in the air. A new kind of evil lurks in the back alleys of Whitechapel. Enter Jacynda Lassiter, a Time Rover on a mission—find an overdue ‘tourist’ and return him to 2057 before he changes history. Victorian London is a dangerous place for the unwary. Mysterious shape-shifters haunt the streets, making friend and foe indistinguishable. When a fellow Time Rover is murdered, Jacynda’s mission becomes personal. Can she trust the two gentlemen who come to her aid, or do they harbor their own dark secrets? In a few days, Jack the Ripper will add to his bloody legacy. But old Jack isn’t the only threat in Whitechapel. Unless Jacynda can outwit a madman, her Victorian sojourn will rewrite history—and end at the point of a blade.

About this title

About the Author

I've actively pursued a writing career since 2001 when I self-published my first two novels (The Lover's Knot and The Circle of the Swan). When Lover's Knot won an award and Circle of the Swan got a good review from Science Fiction Chronicle, I knew I was on to something. The second in the fantasy series (The Summoning Stone) won a Daphne and finaled for the Colorado Award of Excellence. Four years after I started (and one year earlier than I thought possible) I made the leap from self-published to traditionally published with Dragon Moon Press. Signing my first and second contract, all in one year, was a thrilling experience.
