About your Book:
PINBALL is a science fantasy roller coaster ride through space and time to strange, far-off worlds. Steven Denver is a writer struggling to find a plot for his next novel, the success of which — or lack of — will mean the continuance or the demise of his career. But when he stumbles upon a strange green whirlpool near his home, he discovers that it is a gateway through space and time.
Exploring the Gatespace beyond leads him into worlds unknown and adventures that defy the imagination, perfect fuel for the creativity of an author… But there’s just one complication… will he ever make it home to write that book? PINBALL is the first volume in The Gatespace Trilogy. The second volume, A WILLOW BRANCH, is expected in 2014 and the final volume, REWRITING HISTORY, in 2016.

The Book Excerpt:
Chapter 6
As it turned out, entering the vortex wasn’t as difficult as Steven had feared, either physically or emotionally. When the rope had been tied tightly around his waist, he walked up to it, put his hand up near it, and tentatively reached out to touch it. It was actually a little difficult to tell just where the surface of the vortex was since it had a peculiar three dimensional depth to it, but when he finally encountered it, moving his hand gingerly toward it, he knew it. The sensation reminded him of the feeling of reaching down into a sink of lukewarm water, but one that was swirling as if it were going down a drain, constantly. It wasn’t painful, as he’d feared; it didn’t pull him in, or rip his arm off, or any of a dozen things he’d imagined might have happened. It was just a warm, flowing sensation. He reached farther in and saw first his forearm, then his elbow, then his upper arm, tinted green by the light of the vortex, take on the green shimmering quality shared by everything inside it.
He looked back. His wife was standing behind him, slightly to his left, surrounded by the children. Her eyes were wide now, concern filling her face. “Steve… are you sure about this?” she asked.
“I have to do this,” Steven replied. “I have to.”
“Hurry back,” she said in a whisper. “Please.”
“I will,” he replied, and took a single step forward.
