Uptimers

I’m going to do two posts today, because 1) my blog, my rules and 2) I want to keep with the book synposi.

Uptimers is a book my husband and I co-wrote when we first met. He liked a character of mine, (Teryn from Dream Warrior – see earlier post) and wanted to use her in a book idea he had. So we did.

This was one of those, Douglas Adams kind of books, where anything might happen and seems to have done so. We played ‘fast and loose’ with past Earth history and future Earth history. If you are writing a book about time travel, it seems like you should be allowed to write the history you want.

We stuck mostly to places we knew something about (either through travel or studied history – Don’s a history major, I’m a history reader), so we included Iwakuni-Japan, Rome (of Caesar), Agincourt (the one where Henry wins), Lincoln-New Mexico, Dallas-Texas, Mars Colony, Meepus IV, Nerd World and somewhere in the very distant future, even uptime from our ‘heroes’ own time.

Oh, did I not explain these are time travelers? And their job is altering history, sometimes by assassination. But someone is out to get them, which they take exception to. It becomes a fast and loose cat and mouse game through time to see if they can avoid those sent back to stop them before they can get to the asshat who has it in for them.

Uptimers can be found on Amazon. And if you read it and like it, would you please leave a review on Amazon? Thanks.
