about the book
Journalist Thea and her fiancé, Giles, couldn’t be more excited about joining Coltrane McMurray’s inaugural journey to the year 2123. Or is it apprehension? After all, what if something goes wrong?
Their fears are validated when they arrive to find an alien world of scorching heat, flying cars, and eerie, human-like robots.
And a brutal murder by person or persons unknown.
As murder suspects, they are not allowed to leave. Until the police claim they solved the crime.
Finally free to go home, Thea’s nagging doubts about the case continue to haunt her. But to learn what really happened that awful day, she and Giles must give up their happy lives in 2023 to return to the future.
But unforeseen setbacks and heartbreak devastate them in 2123. And who is the mother-daughter duo that bear such an uncanny resemblance to Thea? Forced to master technology far more advanced than anything she’s ever seen, Thea vows to solve her friend’s murder. But will she ever see her home again?

excerpt
Well, those people are wrong. My former friend Nel defied those misconceptions and then dared you to object.
In sixth grade, I caught my first glimpse of her cruel streak. She showed me a bruise on her upper arm. “My dad did it,” she said. Dark red and hard to miss, the bruise remained on proud display as if it were a new tattoo. Word got around, and CPS showed up at her door, questioned her dad, and placed Nel into foster care.
I missed her companionship, her brilliance. A light had gone out in the classroom. Her intellectual energy was the contagious kind, the kind that made the rest of us smarter too.
I went to her house and knocked.
When her mom answered, I jolted back a step. She looked ten years older. Red streaks marred her face, and she stared at me as if she didn’t know who I was. “Nel doesn’t live here anymore,” she snapped and started to shut the door.
“Wait!” I pleaded. “I want to talk to her.”
She gave a bitter laugh. “After what she did to her father and me?”
“I-I thought her dad—”
“She lied. She inflicted that bruise herself. She was mad because we took some of her privileges away after she deceived us. Forget her. Nel is a narcissist, and you’re better off without her in your life. Because if you ever get on her bad side, she will ruin you.”
about the author
D.K. Till writes Split-Time Fiction With A Twist, a blend of the dual timeline fiction she enjoys mixed with a big helping of the sci-fi she loved as a child. The indie author from the land of microbrews and coffee snobs fell in love with reading in kindergarten when her older sister taught her to read. She used to impress her parents’ friends by reading aloud the entire short story The One Hundred Hats of Bartholomew Cubbins. In first grade, she knew she wanted to write stories, too. Throughout her childhood and teens, she either had her nose in a book or was attempting to write one.
But life got in the way, marriage and children set her dreams aside for higher purposes. Today, with children grown and enjoying retirement, she’s reopened that dream package and is now living the life she had only imagined.
The author is a huge fan of the Back to the Future trilogy, inspiring her to write time travel, too. Thus the Time Passengers series was born, perfect for fans of Back to the Future and The Terminator. A classic rock lover, she names her titles after hit rock songs of the 60s and 70s – Starry Starry Night, Midnight Rider, and Nights in White Satin.
