My latest book is now available on Amazon. There’s No Such Thing As Time Travel is book 1 in what I hope will become a four or five book series titled The Forest Throne.  It is the story of 12-year-old Ethan Wagner, who finds a strange rock formation in the hollow behind his grandparents’ home in the Ozarks. He is sure it is manmade and is a time portal. His grandfather disagrees, though a hold drilled in the “arm” of the throne is certainly manmade. When they find, in another place in the woods, a peg that will exactly fit into the drilled hole, Ethan knows he must try out the throne.

I uploaded the book on Saturday. The e-book went live that day, and the print book was available on Sunday. I haven’t yet bought copies for distribution and local sales, but will do so after the proof copy arrives tomorrow.

Here’s the long description.

Ethan Wagner doesn’t mean to cause trouble.

But his imagination and desire for fun and adventure sometimes overwhelm him. When he found the strange rock formation down in the holler behind his grandparents’ Ozarks home, he was sure it was manmade. He called it “The Forest Throne”. When his sister found a peg that fit perfectly in a hole in the throne, he just knew it was a time portal that would take him to the future.

Grandpa said he’d better not mess with the throne. But, of course, Ethan can’t resist. He goes down into the woods when he’s told not to, sits in the throne, uses the peg to activate it and…nothing happens. At first. He doesn’t get transported to the future. But, when he steps out of the throne and removes the peg, the real adventures start.

Ethan’s disobedience results in the time portal being activated—not once but twice. No one seems to have a way to put things back the way they were. Ethan knows it’s up to him to right the wrong he’s done.

There’s No Such Thing As Time Travel tells the story of one boy’s encounter with the past—and the future—and how going between them may not quite be the adventure people think it will be.

You can find it here at Amazon. And here’s the whole cover, back on the left, front on the right.
