The Far Time Incident

Social dystopia meets traditional mystery in this standalone page-turner driven by a female protagonist. When New Seattle's most popular resident--charismatic Delilah--takes a tumble off her balcony, the blame for the seeming accident lands on nineteen-year-old Scottie. More interested in finding out who her parents were than searching for a brand, Scottie's already scraping the bottom of the town popularity list. This will send her toward the very last spot--which brings a short ride out into the frozen wasteland that surrounds the dome of New Seattle. While the town's social stars scuffle for the open spot at the top, Scottie, aided by her "Watson," the personal assistant her brain chip provides, scrambles to save herself and find the real culprit. What she unearths will shake the very foundation of her world...and place her squarely in the crosshairs of a shadowy killer intent on clearing a path to number one. A murder mystery set in a dystopian future, All the Whys of Delilah's Demise asks the ultimate question: How far are any of us willing to go to be liked? *** KEYWORDS: dystopia, mystery, science fiction, scifi heroine, scifi standalone, near-future scifi, social satire, for fans of Black Mirror, science fiction mystery, dystopian novels, people brands, genetic engineering, neural implants, female sleuth

All the Whys of Delilah's Demise

We found ten men, red from blood and dead… At the center of an expanding mystery: a fabled Viking runestone left behind in the Minnesota woodland of ages past. In this much anticipated second installment of Neve Maslakovic's time travel series, St. Sunniva University's Julia Olsen and Nate Kirkland find themselves hot on the trail of a fourteenth-century artifact, a missing runic specialist, and an all-too-familiar kidnapper who has used the time travel lab's STEWie (SpaceTimE Warper) for a joyride deep into America's past. Armed with nothing more than a hunch and a keen understanding of History's rules, can Julia, Nate, and their teammates track down the kidnapper and the missing researcher before the inevitable—and perilous—clash with History? A skillful blend of mystery, science, and history, The Runestone Incident is a smart and satisfying follow-up toThe Far Time Incident.

The Runestone Incident

Julia Olsen and Nate Kirkland, St. Sunniva University's time-traveling crime-stoppers, are back and facing their toughest challenge yet in this third and final installment of the series.

The situation requires sharp investigative skills of the literary kind, as Sabina has managed to outwit History and disappear into parts unknown, with the only clues to her whereabouts hidden in a Kurt Vonnegut novel. But fiction and reality collide as it soon becomes clear that the consequences may be all too real...and all too high. Can Julia and her teammates rescue Sabina before the final, unstoppable showdown with History? Continuing where "The Far Time Incident" and "The Runestone Incident" leave off, "The Bellbottom Incident" brings the series to a gripping conclusion in this lively adventure through history, science, and literature.
