Lance Stouffer first published a children’s book, ‘Ode to Miss Jasmine Cat’ that was featured in the January 2005 issue of Cat Fancy Magazine along with the brilliant illustrations of Chicago artist Brian Bourke. He followed that in 2009 with his acclaimed romantic time travel novel ‘Changed Fate,’ first in the three part Ed Drummond series dealing with fate. And newly released in January 2012 is his new action adventure romance novel ‘Singapore Gold’ which debuts Australian soldier of fortune Dickey Kincaid’s TOSA files series that takes place in Southeast Asia in the early 1950’s.
Author quote: “…..I have always loved action adventure romance stories that come alive visually in your mind as you go along for the ride with a smile, spring in your step, fascination, wink in your eye and chuckle under your breath. They say you should write what you know and I try to do that. The characters in my stories you can identify with; ordinary men and women thrust into doing extraordinary things they never knew they could do. Their journey is what’s exciting to me as the overall plot of the action adventure book is developed……Hold on!”
INTERVIEWED in March 2010 by Orlando’s ‘Orange Splash Magazine,’ he answered these questions about the book ‘Changed Fate - A Love Story Across Time’....
Orange Splash – Tell us a little about the story?
Author – This is a love story that exemplifies the best in romantic time travel novels and is in the same genre as the book 'Bid Time Return' by science fiction writer Richard Matheson, which was made into the 1980 movie classic ‘Somewhere in Time’ starring Christopher Reeve and Jane Seymour. My central characters, Nan Orland and Ed Drummond, have been unknowingly searching for each other their whole lives, separated only by time. They are finally brought together by the incredible circumstances of a 1952 airplane crash at Denver’s Stapleton Airfield.
Orange Splash – Who would be your ideal reader?
Author – Anyone who enjoys action adventure novels with a large splash of romance and science fiction or paranormal activity tossed in. I barely scratched the surface of all the concepts involved in writing ‘Changed Fate’, but focused on bringing my central characters together across time against all odds, with a twist of fate also tossed in. As Americans we always like a winner and the underdog overcoming extreme obstacles. If readers like a positive outcome against impossible odds, then this story and series will make them smile.
Splash – Anything you wish to add to our conversation today?
Author – Rescue missions are heroic. Answering a SOS call across time and attempting a rescue mission takes kahunas. Can I say that? I wrote this book for all you lovers and dreamers that can see all the possibilities out there with a smile! You will thoroughly enjoy ‘Changed Fate
