Retro Stories

(SLOWBURN) She gave up on love long ago. Julia Williams has perfected the art of being invisible-a girl who learned to survive alone, caught between parents who chose their new families over her. Emotionally neglected and yearning for affection she'd never receive, Julia built walls around her heart and accepted a bitter truth: some people simply weren't made to be loved. Music became her escape. Performing in bars and clubs, she poured her pain into songs, never expecting anything more from life than the stage beneath her feet. Until one fatal night changes everything. A tragic accident shatters Julia's world and awakens her in an impossible place-a glamorous birthday celebration on August 29, 1987. She's face to face with the most celebrated artist on the planet: Michael Jackson, the King of Pop himself. With a new name, a new identity, and thirty-eight years erased from existence, Julia is thrust into a world of fame, fortune, and unexpected connections. But as she navigates this glittering past, she discovers something she never thought possible: perhaps her heart wasn't broken beyond repair. Perhaps some people are worth learning to love for. Will Julia be able to rewrite his story?

AUDIO / VIDEO BOOK. By the time Nelson Staff wakes up on a September morning in 1983, Earth's accepted timeline has already begun to unravel. His first indication is an impossible letter left by his missing friend, Duke. It is NASA-embossed, marked Top Secret, and describes lunar missions taking place in 1927 - forty years too early. Nelson digs deeper and is eventually abducted by a clandestine group of Elon-esque tech moguls preparing to abandon their 1980s Earth entirely. But, Duke is not missing. He is in another world, recruited into an unfathomable first-contact mission to help a self-serving Captain and a weary Almighty correct a catastrophic mistake in Earth's evolution. The Quit is a dry-humoured sci-fi novel blending the bureaucratic satire of The Office with some retro love of Star Trek. (The book is complete. I am uploading chapters as I get the time, hopefully daily)
