Sci-Fi Meets Romantic Comedy...With Sword-Swinging Adventure!
This boxed set includes the first three books in the Time Amazon series: Memoirs of a Time Traveler, Confessions of a Time Traveler and Revelations of a Time Traveler.
Memoirs of a Time Traveler: In this journey through time, archaeologist David Preston comes into possession of a baseball supposedly signed by the legendary Ty Cobb in 1908, thanks to Ariyl Moro and her mysterious companion, Jon Ludlo. Except the ball tests out to be an impossible paradox. It was signed with a ballpoint pen (not invented until 1938) using ink that's several centuries older. But then, Ariyl and Ludlo aren't who they claim to be either.
Ariyl, a voluptuous 6-foot-3 beauty, turns out to be a tourist from a 22nd century paradise where time travel is the latest craze. Unbeknownst to her, however, her traveling companion, Ludlo, is a psychopath whose thefts are starting to alter history. In a world were even small changes in the timeline can cause catastrophic consequences, Ludlo's actions may completely destroy the future.
To stop Ludlo, David and Ariyl must solve a mystery involving Bronze Age swordsmen, modern-day Nazis, a steampunk world, Albert Einstein, some highly skeptical Founding Fathers, and a Golden Age Hollywood where the murder of a beloved movie star will spell doom for civilization.
Confessions of a Time Traveler: History's not what it used to be. Ariyl Moro, the gene-powered amazon from 2109 A.D., drags David Preston, archaeologist, back to ancient times to help her fix some broken historical events. But after an epic night together, Ariyl vanishes, leaving David her Time Crystal…and a clue that might lead him back to her…in the camp of a Mongol warrior princess…or a harem in medieval Baghdad…or a monstrously mutated 1950s America.
Revelations of a Time Traveler: Humanity is running out of time. Ariyl Moro, superstrong amazon from the 22nd century, has changed history again...and again...as Earth's climate ricochets from hothouse planet to ice age. Ariyl and her main squeeze, historian David Preston, have to travel through time and fight to restore her lost utopia...while battling Civil War assassins and Roman gladiators...and solving a deadly mystery in 1933 Hollywood.

Elvis Cole is just a detective who can't say no, especially to a girl in a terrible fix.

Five minutes after his new client leaves his office, Elvis and his partner, the enigmatic Joe Pike, are hip-deep in a deadly situation as they plummet into a world of South Central gangs, corrupt cops, and conspiracies of silence. And before the case is through, every copy in the LAPD will be gunning for a pair of escaped armed-and-dangerous killers—Elvis Cole and Joe Pike.

Jack Mitchel is willing to risk everything to survive the apocalypse—including his essential humanity.
An EMT in 2042 San Diego, Jack knows he won't survive the impact of the massive asteroid hurtling towards Earth. After all, he's not one of the handful of lucky lottery winners scheduled for rescue. But he did luck into a NexGenVR capsule, which means Jack can risk a one-way trip to the virtual reality world of Viridan Gate Online, a completely immersive online multiplayer fantasy role-playing game, or RPG.

If Jack can’t game the system, he’s going to be trading in a quick death for a long, brutal one…

In the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, greed and corruption plague New Orleans… As 2007 begins, New Orleans is past due to begin its recovery from the devastation of the storm. A proposed real estate project in an impoverished minority neighborhood known as Bacauptown could ignite the City’s recovery. The conflicting agendas of three resolute men clash as their paths intersect in this project. Clint Johnson, Louisiana native and successful Baltimore banker, is beset by financial and marital problems from the stress of a severely autistic daughter. He commits a reckless act, and to redeem his career and troubled family life, he must go down a path of undercover intrigue in Louisiana. His work will bring him into a relationship with a beautiful Creole woman and into the crosshairs of a mob hitman. Joseph Pacello, a self-made real estate developer, borrowed mob money to keep his business afloat after the hurricane and now must close the Bacauptown financing to pay it back. As the wizard behind the deal, he must orchestrate all the bribes, bogus contracts, and political contributions necessary to grease the skids for a closing.
