Journalist Thea and her fiancé, Giles, couldn’t be more excited about joining Coltrane McMurray’s inaugural journey to the year 2123. Or is it apprehension? After all, what if something goes wrong?

Their fears are validated when they arrive to find an alien world of scorching heat, flying cars, and eerie, human-like robots.

And a brutal murder by person or persons unknown.

As murder suspects, they are not allowed to leave. Until the police claim they solved the crime.

Finally free to go home, Thea’s nagging doubts about the case continue to haunt her. But to learn what really happened that awful day, she and Giles must give up their happy lives in 2023 to return to the future.

But unforeseen setbacks and heartbreak devastate them in 2123. And who is the mother-daughter duo that bear such an uncanny resemblance to Thea? Forced to master technology far more advanced than anything she’s ever seen, Thea vows to solve her friend’s murder. But will she ever see her home again?

Book Excerpt

Brendan opens the capsule door, and we shuffle inside and plop to our seats.

“What now?” I ask. “Stay? Head back?”

Brendan sighs. “The only way you’re going to learn what happened is to be there to witness it.”

My heart leaps. “Is-is that possible?”

“To take you back to yesterday? Technically, yes. We can try.”

I nod, rubbing my dry palms. The control panel lights up. “Reset?” it asks.

When Brendan curses, I’m not alarmed at first. Out the window, I expect to see blue sky. Instead, the solid metal fence still encloses us.

“What the…” My head jerks around to where Brendan is poking at the control panel, swearing and muttering.

“What’s wrong, Brendan?” I smooth the edges of panic from my tone. Maybe it’s nothing.

“This is saying we’re in 2113.” Brendan lurches to his feet. “It’s saying we went back ten years instead of one day.”

“No way.” I pinch myself. This has to be a dream. Which would explain the darkness outside. “Can’t you fix it?”

“I’m trying! But it won’t reset.”

My heart stalls. How could this be happening?

“Well…” I gulp, aware of my vast ignorance of the science behind this thing. “How do you get it to reset?”

Brendan points to the clear panel. “It’s stuck on the year 2113, as if someone keyed it in.”

I droop. “Are…” I struggle to utter my worst fear. “Are we stuck here, then?”

Brendan pounds the panel. “Unless I can get this thing unstuck, then yeah, we’re stuck here.”

About the Author

D.K. Till writes Split-Time Fiction With A Twist, a blend of the dual timeline fiction she enjoys mixed with a big helping of the sci-fi she loved as a child. The indie author from the land of microbrews and coffee snobs fell in love with reading in kindergarten when her older sister taught her to read. She used to impress her parents’ friends by reading aloud the entire short story The One Hundred Hats of Bartholomew Cubbins. In first grade, she knew she wanted to write stories, too. Throughout her childhood and teens, she either had her nose in a book or was attempting to write one.

But life got in the way, marriage and children set her dreams aside for higher purposes. Today, with children grown and enjoying retirement, she’s reopened that dream package and is now living the life she had only imagined.

The author is a huge fan of the Back to the Future trilogy, inspiring her to write time travel, too. Thus the Time Passengers series was born, perfect for fans of Back to the Future and The Terminator. A classic rock lover, she names her titles after hit rock songs of the 60s and 70s - Starry Starry Night, Midnight Rider, and Nights in White Satin.
