Calling Anna and Bennett’s romance long distance is an understatement: she’s from 1995 Chicago and he’s a time traveler from 2012 San Francisco. The two of them never should have met, but they did. They fell in love, even though they knew they shouldn't. And they found a way to stay together, against all odds.
It’s not a perfect arrangement, though, with Bennett unable to stay in the past for more than brief visits, skipping out on big chunks of his present in order to be with Anna in hers. They each are confident that they’ll find a way to make things work...until Bennett witnesses a single event he never should have seen (and certainly never expected to). Will the decisions he makes from that point on cement a future he doesn't want?
Told from Bennett’s point of view, Time After Time will satisfy readers looking for a fresh, exciting, and beautifully-written love story, both those who are eager to find out what’s next for Time Between Us's Anna and Bennett and those discovering their story for the first time. Views: 747

Would you survive an encounter with the ultimate evil, or simply become another notch on his bloodied belt?In a classic game of cat and mouse, the thin line between prey and predator becomes a blurred shadow at best. Serial killers aren't made, they're born. This is a fact that each of their victims fights helplessly against as they draw their final breath. Death is a battle fought by all, but when in the skilled hands of a killer, death becomes a carefully baited performance to be savored in tantalizing bites. The Roadside Slasher is just that type of evil. He is a skilled predator who hunts his prey with a single determination, toying with the minds of the defenseless, as well as the far from innocent. Would you survive an encounter with the ultimate evil, or simply become another notch on his bloodied belt? Views: 746

Hugo Meyers, lead singer for the Seattle indie-band, Shyshank Puppets, just found out he has super powers. That should be awesome right? Unfortunately they came with visions of a nightmarish future, and the realization that having powers not only doesn't make people any more responsible than they normally would be, sometimes it makes them a great deal worse.Hugo Meyers, a 22-year-old hipster who has long-since shoved all of his ambitions under his bed with a moldy pizza box and a forgotten pile of dirty clothes, knows he is not cutout to save the world, and yet, he’s started getting nightmarish visions of a fast-approaching nuclear apocalypse. Either the Powers That Be hadn’t looked at his resume, or they were stacking the deck in favor of a global catastrophe that his meager musical talents, or the ability to control the wind that had come with the visions like some sort of consolation prize, couldn’t possibly stop.Well, it turns out nobody cares if Hugo is hero material or not. A chance encounter with the (almost) 16-year-old lightning-monster, CJ, leads him to the one man always at the center of the apocalyptic visions; the incredibly charismatic philanthropist and CEO of Gideon Enterprises, Alexander Gideon. Now he’s been dropped face-first into a cold war between people with superpowers that has been going on behind the scenes for generations. With the help of, thankfully, more competent allies, Hugo must untangle years of lies and betrayal before it’s too late for everyone. But is it all worth it, when each sacrifice Hugo makes trying to save the world brings him one step closer to becoming the type of detached, calculating monster that would want to destroy it?

Follow the young prince as he tries to balance his loyalties to his house with his loyalties to his people against the backdrop of the European enlightenment.Prince Charles Stuart seemed to have his future laid out for him: he is the heir apparent to the English Throne and his father rules over a prosperous British Isles, enjoying the bounties of the recent Renaissance.
