“PURE JOY. The most compelling time-travel adventure we’ve read since Stephen King’s 11/22/63.” — Bella Wright, BestThrillers.com.
PAST IS PRESENT, a standalone thriller, is a heady mix of mystery, music, mirth, the missing–and melancholy. Not to mention time-travel with a twist, and how a single event can echo down the decades. Ready?
One quarter of the adult Western population believe they have had an out-of-body experience. Linda Mitchell, a young, Vietnam War widow living with her 3-year-old daughter in 1968, has an OBE while meditating. She “wakes” on a couch, wearing a T-shirt with an odd word (Reebok), and sees a local newspaper with today’s date, October 8. The year? 1993. She repeats the meditative steps and “returns” home. Anxiety begets curiosity. Can consciousness travel through time, and briefly inhabit another body? The next night…
October 1993. Lately, Sally Mitchell, age 28, wakes each morning exhausted. Her clothes closet seems, well, whatever. Even her cat avoids her. Perhaps she’s a sleepwalker. Must be stress: job, grad school, persistent ex-boyfriend, etc.
October 1993. Vintage rock deejay, “Jurassic Jim” Fleetwood, is heading in the wrong direction. As the world rolls forward to the 21st century, Jim is stuck in reverse, a connoisseur of the dusty past. One night he hears his friend, Sally, talk in her sleep—and the past darkens his life in an unforeseen way. He soon learns that her mother disappeared when Sally was three.
What began a quarter century ago is coming full circle.
Timeless advice for temporal travelers: discard your clocks and calendars. When the past is present…the present is past.

Excerpt:
Sigrid stood in the center of what had once been the Academy grounds on Alcyone. Now, all that remained were the burned and collapsed remnants of the school and dormitories. Smoke still wisped up from the blackened piles of lumber and debris. The stench was raw and acrid, threatening to overwhelm her sensors.
“There’s no way Independents did this,” Christian said. “It looks like a whole battalion landed here.”
Frantic, Sigrid scanned the area again, searching desperately for signs of the girls, but nothing turned up in her sensory modes. She tried calling out with her comlink. If they were in range, they’d pick up the signal. But there was still nothing. Not even the orbital satellites showed any sign of the girls, or survivors for that matter. Whoever had done this had been brutal and thorough.
Sigrid knew she would kill them.
Synopsis:
Sigrid and Suko are two girls from the impoverished and crime-infested streets of 24th century Earth. Sold into slavery to save their families from financial ruin, the girls are forced to live out their lives in service to the Kimura Corporation, a prestigious mercenary clan with a lineage stretching back long before the formation of the Federated Corporations.
Known only to Kimura, the two girls share startling secret—a rare genetic structure not found in tens of millions of other girls.
But when their secret becomes known, Sigrid and Suko quickly find themselves at the center of a struggle for power. Now, hunted by men who would seek to control them, Sigrid and Suko are forced to fight for their own survival, and for the freedom of the girls from Alcyone.
