Caroline and Tony ride again
Yes, Book II of Temporal Affairs, 'The Mariner King' is finally out. At this point a few of you have been given the opportunity to read it, and I appreciate all reviews and feedback I've received.
Those of you familiar with Book I, 'The Foster Children of Time' may be surprised by some developments in this current installment of Temporal Affairs. When I set out to write 'The Mariner King,' I was never thinking to myself, "Tony and Caroline get back on the time-bus and cruise to another adventure." I wanted to challenge the reader, play against expectations and basically write an entirely different story.
I'll admit some trepidation in going in a somewhat darker direction with my cast of characters, even though this was always my intention. Both Caroline and Tony make choices that you would not expect of heroic characters. But human beings in general do not always make the wisest or best choices in life, and I felt that I would be doing my readers a disservice if I presented infallible protagonists.
