The Time-Traveller's Choice
One moment, Emma Scott is in her college room in 2015, and the next she's in 1921 falling in love with an ex-soldier with a charming smile and a secret... Emma's an old hand at time travel: the first time she was pulled backwards she was ten years old. She can sense the memories that stone, fabric and wood have soaked up: usually she just sees them, but sometimes she ends up living them. She knows the drill: (1) avoid getting pulled backwards in the first place; (2) avoid the object that's pulled you backwards; (3) prevent the memory that imprints on the object, or, if all that fails, (4) wait it out until you're back in the right time. The problem is that the object was an old ring that her Granny Alice bequeathed to her, and Emma last saw it on the finger of her great grandmother, fleeing into a crowded London street. Now Emma is trying to find the ring and go back to her own time, but her great grandmother has vanished, and meanwhile there's Charlie Lawrence who's making Emma wonder if she even wants to go back at all...Concluida

Fractured | The Portal Series book 1
**COMPLETE!!!** Two warring countries, a hidden nation, and the power to control them all. 341 years into the Universal Millennium, Pangea is the newest colony world. Young and exotic, it is a planet of paradise. But all paradises have a flaw. Pangea's is the twenty-year-old war that has been going on between the planet's two Earthian countries, Sylva and Distonia. Also, unbeknownst to the colonists, there is an entire nation of Pangean natives living underneath the peaceful waters of the Great Ocean. The natives' lives revolve around an ancient portal called Xuhgea, which bridges the interstellar gap between Pangea and Earth without warp technology. Fifteen-year-old Jessica Lewis is a Pangean, and has been training to be a spy for Sylva for eight long years, and is determined to prove her worth. Sixteen-year-old Claire Railstone is an Earthling living with the natives, and, thanks to the portal, is forever stuck with people who resent her entire race. However, there is someone out there, who is willing to kidnap, steal, and kill to possess the infinite power of the portal. Despite centuries-old prejudices, Xuhgea's only hope may rest with Claire and Jessica. But it might already be too late.Concluida
India Rose & The Eternals - The Fountain Of Youth Chronicles Vol. 1
For fans of the Harry Potter universe, LOST and Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children: What if that really was the Mona Lisa that India Rose saw walking around her small, Maine town? What if her father's innocent bedtime stories of hidden mysteries below the river and secret identities of ordinary citizens were more than mere fairy tales? Why did her essay on her town's history make a few select town officials so angry? And why was young Finn and his master (who bears more than a passing resemblance to Leonardo da Vinci) sent across the sea to the new world on a mission to protect "the secret" that his order has been charged to guard? Told over the course of almost one hundred years and multiple continents, India Rose and the Eternals tells the parallel stories, told in concurrent chapters, of twelve-year-old India Rose and two-hundred-and twelve-year-old Finnegan Rufus Magondolovich (don't ask him about his middle or last names) who are both struggling to understand the upheaval in their own little worlds. Add to this the sinister Man In The Brown Hat and his shadowy organization, who are chasing Finn and his master across the globe, an oil spill that threatens India's coastal town, a stern Head Librarian who seems to have it in for India, and India Rose and the Eternals packs enough adventure and hairpin turns to keep readers turning pages. With strong themes of using your gifts and abilities for the good of others and the rise, use and abuse of technology, India Rose and the Eternals is the opening salvo in the expansive Water Chronicles universe, a series that takes contemporary notions of history and re-examines them.Concluida
