Episode One, The Boy and the Shopkeeper: Delilah, Astral Investigator Infinity Series
A Paranormal Fantasy & Time-Travel/Astral Projection Novel for "tweens"/teens/YA/Adults!
Delilah ("Dee"), a modern teenager, saves the life of Bartholomew ("Bartie"), a Colonial American from 1774, unknowingly bringing him to the 21st century. Dee's vivid dreams are really astral projections that she can't control. Together with Dee's intuitive cat, Mollie, the Astral Investigation Team returns to the past to aid the boy and the shopkeeper, who are caught in a time warp of death and betrayal. This is but the first episode of their adventures. They will be able to travel back in time and to the future, never knowing where or when they'll be going or how to help doomed souls. If they don't stop the repetitive vicious cycles, these damaged, bitter entities will be reborn to destroy society as we know it. As the series begins, there is much they have to learn about each other and the astral plane. Can history be rewritten, even after the fact? Can the future be changed to prevent the predicted apocalypse? Not all souls can be saved, and some do not wish it. Join these Astral Investigators on their sojourns to different realities and other planes of existence.

Delilah, Astral Investigator: Infinity Series revolves around a young woman named Deliah who is afflicted with asthma, her angora cat named Molly, and a young man, Bartholomew, who steps from the pages of America history. The three combine their efforts and end up changing history.
The story revolves around a shopkeeper and a boy and an event that profoundly affects Delilah. Each night, when she falls asleep, she dreams of this fateful event, reliving the incident in excruciating detail.
However, One night Delilah’s dream changes, and she witnesses a different dream/occurrence where Bartholomew is about to be murdered. She reaches through time to pull him into her dream where she saves him. Once Bartholomew adjusts to this time continuum, the unusual man from the past becomes her friend.
I enjoyed the story and how this author’s interpretation of time travel allowed a ripple effect to change past events. The storyline delves into the topics of lucid dreaming and astral projection, which really add a paranormal glint to solving the mystery.
The characters were engaging and relatable. I found Bartholomew’s dilemmas in coping with the modern world to be well thought out and at times humorous. This author has a penchant for realism, so some of the dialogue is written in an English dialect which I thought added to the story.
I do hope the author continues the series because the time travel cornerstone of the story is intriguing. There are so many possibilities!

An Intriguing Tale of Time Travel!
Delilah, Astral Investigator: Infinity Series is a fascinating tale of time travel involving, Delilah, a young lady with asthma from present time, her angora cat, Molly, and a young man, Bartholomew, from the old world before America separated from England. These three unusual assortment of detectives of sorts band together to try and change a little bit of history.
In this book, Episode One, the story revolves around a shopkeeper and a boy and what happens to them. The event greatly disturbs Delilah and each night as she falls asleep she relives this fateful event. One night her dreams are different and she comes upon Bartholomew who is about to be murdered. She somehow intercepts and pulls him into her dream and her modern day world where he becomes her friend and her cohort.
The author has created an interesting premise with time travel and how by dipping into history and creating a ripple effect you can change events. This is a fascinating thought if we could only go back in time and change something that we did not like or we we did not do.
This is a creative endeavor by this talented author who plans to write more of these books in this series. It will be fun to go along with Dee and Bartie and Molly to see what they will do next and if they are successful in changing events as they travel through time and place.
