The Storm is the foundation, the book that sets the stage for the series, The Cayhill Three Mysteries, and introduces the main characters: Lylle Cayhill, his wife Avila Pembroke-Cayhill and their three children 16-year-old Acer, 13-year-old Dahlia and 10-year-old Alec who find their lives turned upside down when Aunt Rebecca Pembroke, who prefers to be called Aunt Becca arrives to deliver the shocking news that Lylle and Avila are missing possibly dead.
The heirs to the Cayhill fortune find their world shattered and they aren't sure who to trust as things aren't as they seem. Even though they're convinced that Aunt Becca masterminded their parent's disappearance, they discover that she's not the only person hiding something from them.
Mitchel, their parents' lawyer has stopped by the mansion several times since their parents have been gone and has only spoken with their aunt, and Robert, the Cayhill family driver, has become quite close with her too. Then there is Debra, their father's assistant who has disappeared and Suzanne, their mother's assistant, who won't answer her phone.
Relatives and friends converged on Cayhill mansion; trying to convince the Cayhill three that their parents won't be coming home, but the children know it's not true.
With so many people acting suspicious, and so many baffling unanswered questions, the Cayhill three take matters into their own hands, but nothing can prepare them for what lies ahead.

They recruit the former special agent to send her back fifty years, to take just one man out of the equation, a minimal change with a predicted maximal effect on the fate of the world, and prevent a devastating war that has driven the last surviving humans to live in decrepit underground bunkers. Every action has a consequence. Alyssa is humanity's last hope, and her actions will determine the fate of the whole world. She is willing to sacrifice everything for a better future.

At first I thought I'd pick something a bit out of my comfort zone (so.... NOT SciFi for once...) to expand my horizon, but when I saw a prompt about time travel I was immediately inspired. Please keep in mind, all of this is WIP! The title, cover, and some of the content might change at any time... I have an outline and I worked hard to come up with a compelling and consistent story line, but due to the nature of the story (timey whimey stuff!) I might have to revise things a few times as I write. I'm grateful for any feedback and I hope you enjoy :)
