“Time Walker” on Sale!

Happy Fall! (Or Spring if you’re Down Under)

My gosh, it’s been a long time since I last posted something.  Here’s what’s been happening over the past few months. I’ve written a paranormal cozy mystery under my actual name and getting that edited, published, and promoted took a huge chunk of my time. I not only did that novel, but also a free prequel novel that is now up on my www.RPAverett.online page. If you like a cozy mystery with a paranormal twist, check out that website for A Trapdoor Tragedy. I’ve also been busy with other projects and have done very little writing on my next novel, which is the third book of the Time Threads series.  It will be out in 2025, probably toward the end of summer.

But why I am writing today is to tell you about the sale that is running right now on Time Walker! Let me tell you about the book!

Are you ready for an epic journey across time and space? Time Walker, the thrilling first book in the Time Threads series jis on sale for just $1.99 (regularly $3.99) from now until October 21st! Don’t miss your chance to dive into this unforgettable adventure at a special price.

About Time Walker

Set in the 23rd century, Mali Harper’s world is all about maintaining the delicate balance of time. As a time monitor for the Temporal Integrity Management unit aboard Alpha Station One, she ensures that no tampering with the past alters the future. But when a major anomaly disrupts 18th century London, Mali is thrust into a high-stakes mission—her first ever.

Time travel, history, and futuristic technology collide as Mali and her team journey to 1798 London, where steam-powered automobiles threaten to rewrite history. Mali’s journey soon takes an unexpected twist, with allies like engineer Brayden Coleman and the enigmatic librarian Doyle Martin by her side. When the team’s leader disappears after a catastrophic explosion, Mali’s mission becomes personal—and deadly.

With enemies in every time period and a dangerous secret threatening to unravel the future, Mali must decide where her loyalties lie. Along the way, she encounters her long-lost grandfather and uncovers a dark plot that could alter the course of history—and time itself.

But nothing is as simple as it seems, especially when Mali’s heart gets involved. Time-travel, forbidden romance, and impossible choices intertwine as Mali races through centuries in a bid to save the future.

New Interview with Author Jacci Turner and Next Episode on Vella

I have two things to tell you about today. First is the interview I did with Jacci Turner, a Reno-based author. Jacci usually writes young adult books and her previous one Tree Singer was her first foray into fantasy. However, this interview was to talk about her newest book, which is a self-help book. It covers a subject many people might be struggling with in this chaotic times. It’s called Tumbled People, Deconstructing and Reconstructing Your Spirtuality. 

I’ve talked to many people who are questioning their beliefs or struggling to reconcile their lives with what they’ve believed from whatever religion they’ve been following. In this book, Jacci examines this disconnect and addresses it along with a plan to help people reconnect with their faith on their own terms.

Unfortunately, the recording on Google Meet had a glitch and Jacci’s video froze although the audio continued fine. So you can listen to it and see me in motion, but not Jacci. Still, she has a lot to say and it’s worth hearing.

Sorceress Emerging Episode 29 is on Vella

I’m trying to keep a schedule with getting these episodes posted, but real life isn’t cooperating. Still, I think I’m three episodes from the end.  You can find all the posted episodes on the Amazon page for the Vella story here. 

If you read an episode and enjoy it, please give me a thumbs up and maybe a short review. I love it when people comment on my stories, so feel free to stat a conversation or email me with your thoughts.

By the way, the image for this episode is created using Imagine Art, an AI program that often returns some weird images, but on the sixth try, I got one that fits episode 29 where Cynara is discussing her  defense plans with the prince from Minos.

Happy End of Summer,  everyone. It already feels like Fall where I am.

New Author Interview with Adam J. Whitlatch and a New Vella Episode

Hello, my friends and readers! I am delighted to post an interview with science-fiction writer, Adam J. Whitlatch that I recently did. Adam is the author of the War of the Worlds: Goliath book adaptation of the animated film from 2014. He also wrote The Weller, Vengeance for My Valentine, and the Temujin Saga. In this interview, we talk about the new installment on the saga, War Machines, among other things. Check it out.

I will be doing another interview later this week with a Reno author on a totally different subject, but it’s one that might interest to you.

New Episode of Sorceress Emerging on Vella

I’m winding down on this two-season story that includes Cynara’s Destiny and Sorceress Emerging, with only a few episodes to go. If you have yet to try Kindle Vella, this is a great time to start since the story is almost complete. I don’t plan to release this story as an e-book or printed book, so Vella is the only available place.

In case you don’t know, Vella uses tokens to buy each episode of the story.

Image and link to Sorceress EmergingBy clicking on the links (the story titles), you will go to the story on Vella and find a link to purchase tokens. However, the first three episodes of each season are free, so you can check it out.

The image above is an AI-generated picture using Imagine.art. It took many attempts to get an illustration close to what I was trying to achieve when depicting the alien Cantrese race in the story.

I am still working on the third book of the Time Threads series, but progress could be faster. I don’t expect to have this one out until late next year. And I plan to start a new book with NaNoWriMo in November. More on that later.

I’ll be posting my next interview in about a week.

Don’t forget, and this one is on Kindle Unlimited!“I just finished O’Ceagan’s Legacy and enjoyed it immensely!! I enjoyed her smooth writing style and she sucked me into her characters. Thank you for a well written original science fiction story…”     Reader review for O’Ceagan’s Legacy (Book One).
