I had hoped to have news by now on the sale of my time travel novel, A Foreseen Future, but unfortunately it’s still with eight editors awaiting a decision back to my agent. The publishing industry is achingly slow even at the best of times.
I did write and produce a movie-like trailer for the book, which you can view below. I’m pretty happy with it despite the limitations (when you are paying for this yourself you find your budget doesn’t go very far).
Here’s a blurb for the novel.
In 1909 a young girl named Charlotte discovers a strange object buried in the woods, clutched by a long-dead hand. Shortly afterward she disappears, never to be seen again.
In 2047 Anna Lopez is a chemical engineer living in the sweltering Southwest, about to unlock a secret that will change the course of the human race.
In 2083 Carson Somerville is on a hike when a young girl nearly two centuries old appears in his path. At the same time, in every time, the universe dies, as time decays inexorably from the future to the past. All three are connected. All three have the same haunting dreams of the end of the world. And all three know it has to do with the mysterious object Charlotte found that day: a device called the Prominence, that seems to have a will of its own.
If Charlotte, Anna, and Carson are to save the universe from its unmaking, they will have to find each other across centuries and unlock the Prominence’s secrets, before everything they know and have ever known becomes undone.
A Foreseen Future is a thoughtful, intelligent, ambitious and mind-bending novel spanning the breadth of time, while remaining grounded by its lead characters. It is as much a mystery as science fiction, as much about time travel as it is about self-discovery and human connection.
