Thank you for reading. This is a work in progress. Any comments, feedback and criticism is well appreciated!
A map of the area is included in Part 2
For a moment, let's just imagine a world where timetravel is possible, but strictly bounded by the laws of physics. One of these laws is the so-called principle of self-consistency. The principle dictates a zero probability of past-changing events that give lead to a state of paradox.
Just before Reyle is offered the promotion of a lifetime, he meets a man who claims to be from the future. Is this all just a silly coincidence or is there more to his confusing story?

Post Plague Kidnapping - Published!
It's been five years since the plague struck. Leah knows there are other survivors, but she's avoiding them. She is doing just fine on her own. Surviving after everyone she knew died has made her physically strong and honed her intelligence, but she is emotionally devastated. There is nothing to fear if you don't make yourself emotionally vulnerable. James has spent the last five years helping to build up a colony of survivors. He believes in the small town they have populated and its mission to save humanity from extinction. He and his small team of men find scattered people and bring them in. Over the last two centuries, women have fought for and won more and more rights, gaining equality with men. Society, law, and technology bolsters and enforces these rights, but now they are gone. Women's equality with men is over. There are just too few of them. They aren't lesser but greater, more important, more valuable than men. Men are expendable. Men can stay outside alone if they like, but all women must be brought inside the safety of the Colony and properly taken care of. James has been searching the area Leah lives in. Her time of solitude is up. Leah sparks something in James he's never felt before. He's not letting this one get away, certainly not twice. Warning: Contains sex, some violence, occasional foul language, and adult issues. Genre: Science Fiction, Romance, Post-apocalyptic, Dark romance Length: 84,468 words This book has been published on Amazon. The first ten chapters will be updated to what you get in the published novel and will remain here, so you can try before you buy.Lengkap
Inevitable Ascension
***Completed*** If you knew your world would soon be torched to carbon, would you fight to save it? ...Or light a match of your own? Violina, a girl polarized by love and loathing, finds herself thrown into a post-apocalyptic world with mankind on the brink of extinction. Discovering the means to travel back in time, she teams up with the ever-optimistic, pun-loving Lux and sets out to prevent the apocalypse from ever happening in the first place. But as her crusade advances, she becomes increasingly disturbed by humanity's apparent *lack* of humanity and comes to a frightening realization: To build a new world, she must first tear the old one down. Inevitable Ascension-The twisted jigsaw puzzle of a story with equal parts rapid-fire action, humor and charm. It's got a host of twists that will literally make your brain explode! Actually not literally, you know, because otherwise that would be really gross. Who is V.K. McAllister? We're a husband/wife duo (Andrew and Sasha McAllister) with a unique approach to writing. We work simultaneously and in secret before combining what we come up with, resulting in dramatic and unexpected twists that surprise even us! Crazy? Yes, yes it is, but it's surprisingly fun and effective. :) We pretty much live for the Inevitable Ascension series and did just about everything ourselves-the writing, the editing, the publishing, the art (well, Andrew did the art, but Sasha provided invaluable consulting when it came to eyebrows), the audio book, the trailer-everything. We're basically a one-man band, except with two people... and no music... so perhaps not the best metaphor, but we're confident you get what we mean.

The Ill-mannered Door (humorous sci-fi)
What would you do if you woke to find a door in your room? No, not an ordinary, well-behaved door that stays in the wall where it belongs, but one standing near the side of your bed that leads to another world. That is precisely what happens to Thomas John, a widowed university professor in rain-soaked England. Lured through the door by blue skies and white sand beaches, Thomas has no idea that his newfound paradise will be blown up on Tuesday, or that it will be up to him to stop it, wearing little more than a bathrobe and fuzzy ducky slippers. -------- A humorous sci-fi novel inspired by the works of Douglas Adams and Terry Pratchett. I hope you enjoy reading it as much as I've enjoyed writing it. **The story is complete!**Lengkap
Arnesto Modesto: The World's Most Ineffectual Time Traveler
This story is a full-length novel on Amazon (and elsewhere) and is currently (12/12/2018) a #1 best-seller in Time Travel Fiction in Australia. Though I'm unlikely to make big changes at this point, comments are always welcome and typos almost certainly squashed. Now the REAL description: What if you could go back and do it all over again? By sending his memories back in time, Arnesto Modesto gives himself a do-over. Of course, his much younger self may not be prepared to handle all that foreknowledge... Encouraged by his friend Pete, Arnesto attempts to use his limited recall to do some good - and winds up stumbling through some of the biggest events of the past quarter-century. Take it from Arnesto: Life isn't easier the second time around. (Think Groundhog Day if the main character went much farther back and only got to repeat his life ONCE.) For anyone who has ever wondered, "What if?"Lengkap
Dear Emily, Love, Emily
Every New Year's Day, like clockwork, Emily receives a mysterious letter in her mailbox-from her future self. These letters have always guided her through life's biggest decisions, offering advice, warnings, and glimpses of what's to come. For years, they've shaped her choices, giving her the sense that her future is under control, written in the stars. But this year, things are different. As the clock strikes midnight, there's no letter. Emily is left with silence, uncertainty, and the unsettling realization that her future may no longer be scripted for her. For the first time, she's forced to face the terrifying possibility that she must choose her own path without the comfort of knowing what's ahead. As she grapples with whether to follow the cosmic fate she once believed in or forge her own way, Emily embarks on a journey of self-discovery. With no letter to guide her, will she trust her instincts and change her future-or was the absence of a letter a sign that she was always meant to write her own story?Lengkap
