Time Travel Adventure

 

Here's a time travel story that my husband and I wrote:

Travelers in Time: A Search for the Missing

Description:

Two sisters find themselves back in the 1860s during the building of the transcontinental railroad in search of their missing parents who are on a time travel quest of their own. Equipped with only their wits and a vague idea where they must go, this story puts a fresh spin on time travel and the strong unmistakable pull of family ties. Come along and find out if they can succeed in finding their lost parents or become lost themselves.

One of the characters in our time travel story is a married history teacher who has bipolar disorder. When she agrees to go back in time with her sister and friends, she presumes that her husband will be traveling back with them.

Much to her dismay, she finds herself without him, stranded on the railroad tracks during the 1860s. Unfortunately, her psych medicine did not travel back in time with her and she has to find a way to cope throughout all the time travel adventures that she will be experiencing.

Ultimately, she manages to cope quite well and even has some fun along the way.

Luckily, her husband travels back in time and finds her and together they attempt to find their way back home.

Five Star Review: "A must-read! I couldn’t put it down and read the eBook in a day. Louise Hathaway writing talent shines through her characters, plot, and ending. The dash of romance was just the right amount of seasoning to enhance the flavor of this story."

Highly recommended."

Making Book Trailers

When it comes to the indie publishing world, things have never been so exciting and daunting for us writers.  These days, it's not enough to write a book, come up with a description, and go on social media to market it.  Now, many writers are making book trailers.  Luckily, I have a tech savvy husband who knows how to make anything work out whenever it comes to the computer.

We came up with this "music video" for our murder mystery "Fighting Demons: A New Orleans Mystery."  I wrote the text and we both chose the pictures to show them on.  I wanted the music to be slightly mysterious and more, important, it needed to be by a New Orleans musician.  There are so many classics from which to choose.  Ultimately, we picked Sidney Bechet's rendition of Summertime because not only is it fantastic, but it also corresponds with the mood of our story.

I've been looking at other book trailers and found one intriguing video that had each letter appear on the screen one-by-one, as if someone was typing them.   I thought that it looked slightly "film noire": perfect for a mystery by Raymond Chandler, for instance.

So, without further ado, here is our music video/ book trailer for "Fighting Demons: A New Orleans Mystery."
