Junebug has knocked about five years and five pounds off of my kitty Sinny. This morning my lighter and stealthier kitty was running through the house chasing a little stick he was tossing around. This is something I haven’t seen in years. Junbebug was still asleep, so it was Sinny playing all on his own. On the opposite end though I think Junebug has aged my old pup five years. I have never heard a dog sigh so much in my life. He doesn’t snap at her nearly as much as he used to, so I think she is really growing on him. It only took nine months, but he is old and it takes him a while.

Love Beyond Time (Book 1): Nearly 400 years ago, the Conall clan and their people were murdered, their castle burned to the ground. In centuries following, archaeologists searched the ruins looking for any evidence of those responsible. Efforts were fruitless until a spell put in place by an ancient Conall ancestor finally began to work its magic…
When Bri accompanies her archaeologist mother on a dig in Scotland, they discover a spell room below the castle ruins, and Bri is transported back in time and suddenly married to the castle’s ill-fated Laird. She must work to change the fate of his people, all while trying to find a way to return to her century, but Bri finds herself falling in love with her new husband. If she finds a spell to bring her home, will she use it? If she stays, will it mean her own death as well?

Love Beyond Reason (Book 2): Arran Conall lives with the consequences of his foolishness daily. He had no way to know that his beloved would fall prey to ancient magic. The only woman to ever give pause to his philandering ways lives centuries ahead of him while holding on to his heart. Now, he must try to live without her. His love for Blaire haunts him. With every breath, he prays that she will be able to feel his love across time…
Born in the 17th century, Blaire MacChristy lives each day adjusting to the challenges of modern life. Magic brought her here, but heartbreak keeps her from using magic to travel back to her home. When visitors from her past arrive asking her to return to the life she’d known before, Blaire takes a chance on love. Will fate find a way to mend their broken hearts? If it does, will they be able to stop the darkness that is coming for them both?

A Conall Christmas: A Novella (Book 2.5): Christmas is approaching, and Adelle is determined to make it the best one Conall Castle has ever seen, but loneliness haunts her. Love for her daughter sent her into the past, but she’d not expected the isolation she would feel. She finds her current age seems much older in the 17th century and resigns herself to the fact that she will remain single for the rest of her days. At least until an unexpected visitor arrives.

Hew has spent the last twenty years all alone, only leaving his home once a year to pay homage to the wife he lost long ago. When a storm causes him to seek shelter at Conall Castle, he meets the first lass since his beloved Mae to make his heart flutter once again. Can he release himself from his past and allow another love in his life? If he does, will his love be returned?

Love Beyond Hope (Book 3): Mitsy is in serious need of a distraction. With the ink still drying on her divorce papers, she flies to Scotland to forget about her own problems and help her best friend re-enter reality. She knows Bri’s claims that she is able to travel back in time and is currently living in the year 1647 are a lie, but Mitsy falls prey to the same magic and is forced to believe the impossible.

Few people understand her fiery personality in the 17th century, but she finds her match in Baodan. The more time she spends with him, the harder she falls, but a dark secret from his past holds him back. Mitsy works to uncover the truth in the hopes that resolution will free him. But the truth is darker than she expects, and it threatens to destroy them both.

Intervention: A Science Fiction Adventure
by J.W. Huemme, Nancy Halseide
4.0 Stars (51 Reviews)
Genre: Science Fiction & Fantasy | Science Fiction | Action & Adventure

FREE for a limited time

Over population, global warming and food shortages have caused the American government to devise a plan that only allows for the survival of 7% of the world’s population — the handpicked elite. Among this group is Christopher Adams.

Christopher grows up with kind and loving parents who are devoted to each other. His father is an insurance salesman and his mother is a stay-at-home mom. Just your average hard-working American couple… who just happen to raise an extraordinary son.

At 12, Christopher is accepted to MIT, and by the age of 21, he is recruited by the CIA. Solving puzzles and decrypting codes come very easily to Christopher. His mind is so advanced, it almost seems as if he is from another world.

When Christopher finds out about the governments plan, Operation Down-size, he is horrified by the thought of billions of innocent lives being sacrificed to save the elite 7%. He knows he must stop Operation Down-size, but the puzzle is how?

Cindy, an astronaut and a member of the 7%, joins in Christopher’s quest. Thankfully, they have help: an alien spacecraft, equipped with a highly advanced artificial intelligence created by a highly advanced alien race.

Thousands of years ago, a highly advanced alien race on a mission of exploration discovered Earth. They could see, even at this early stage of development, that the human race was advancing its technology faster than it was maturing in compassion and wisdom — a combination that would one day lead to disaster. The aliens decide to intervene by implanting an altered gene code into several of the primitive females that would be passed down from one generation to the next for activation at a later time. The spacecraft was left hidden until the time was right to intervene further in order to save humans from themselves. That time has come.

Together, Christopher and Cindy, utilizing the spacecraft’s advanced technologies, seek to save the world and dismantle Operation Down-size. One question remains: Can they do it in time?
