Betty Bines went missing in July 1947.
Her older brother, Bill, spent his life trying to find her. His work at the secretive Swamphenge research facility should have meant he had a chance, but his one-time partner and superior Clyde Waller had a lie to uphold, that in the 1950s, was more dangerous than their relationship.
Nori Furukawa and Brigid Pearson went missing in 2016.
They were sent back through time to find Betty, to reunite her with Bill, and to uncover an alien conspiracy that threatened time itself.
Lax Morales, TV psychic and founder of the Virtualist church, was somehow present for all of these events. He was there when the first starship fell in the desert. He was there when Betty's father Charles died. He was there when Bill's heart was broken. He was there to break it again. And he was there when the time machine Nori Furukawa built blew up, taking the entire physics department with it.
Lax is the thread that binds these stories together.
This is a trilogy about missing truths, cover-ups, and love that transcends the barriers of time and space. It is a dark, honest, and brutal look at the implications of time travel.
Where would you go? If you could turn back time?
It will be coming to Kickstarter in August 2022, and I am looking into pitching it to Netflix.

The aliens kill every human they catch, or in rare cases, put trackers on them to discover their hidden villages. When Natalie is caught in an ambush, she is unexpectedly released. But there is no tracker. The Saursunes have an entirely different motive this time.

Run. Don't look back.
When Natalie is trapped in an alien ambush, she is unexpectedly released. The first human to ever be let go.
The Saursunes invaded centuries ago, and everyone knows that getting caught is certain death. Natalie is confused but grateful to be alive. As a porter, one of the few humans with the rare ability to teleport between special crystal formations, she must leave the safety of her desert village every day to help gather food.
When other villages increase their raids on the Saursunes' farms, the aliens retaliate by hunting down every human they can find - except Natalie's group. Instead of trying to kill her and those helping her, they bring them food instead.
Is it a trap? Or something else? Natalie isn't sure, but one thing is certain: the Saursunes aren't done with her yet.
