TIME SLICE by Kerry Downing.........

I am thrilled to be apart of the Blog Tour for TIME SLICE by Kerry Dowing! His new book TIME SLICE has been released from Camel Press and is a must read for anyone who loves books about real people with some really kick butt Time Travel aspects.

REVIEW: Do you ever wonder where time went? While you were working all these years, getting up every morning to support your family, what was going on at home? I am sure you have an idea of what your family is doing, but someone through time, minute by minute you have slowly lost part of them and they you. Time stretches on and it is time to retire, and for Roy Washburn life isn't exactly what was waiting for him at home all this time. With too much time on his hands and nothing to do his wife is at a complete loss and a daughter that is less than daddy's little girl.

In comes The Traveler, a mysterious stranger he meets at the mall and now the portal to alternate worlds is at his fingertips. Not only that, but to travel through time is one of the most fascinating possibilities of all I think. When Roy finds a weird cylindrical tube at the mall while waiting for his wife, life is seriously about to change.

Roy is a good guy, despite his issues he is really trying to get a handle on his life now that he is retired and understand how he lost his connection to his wife and daughter. A fantastic adventure that will have you one your toes until the last minute. You will be wrapped around the life of Roy Washburn and his travels throughout time and space that your own imagination of what could be will take you away!

Time Slice Book Summary
Ordinary People. Extraordinary Adventures. Science Fiction with Heart.

Newly retired workaholic Roy Washburn is not ready for a life of leisure. On a trip to the mall with his wife, he finds a small metal cylinder with odd markings. One nudge of the cylinder's triangle-shaped pointer and Roy finds himself embarking on an exciting new adventure in the Time Stream.

There he meets The Traveler, a tall, gangly being who shows Roy how to use the cylinder to visit other civilizations that co-exist on "his" Earth, each occupying a different, thin Time Slice. The Traveler solicits Roy's help in recovering an object invented by his murdered father and beyond his own reach. Roy is his last hope.

At first it seems that the Traveler's wish might be easily granted. But after Roy's wife Emily becomes ill and his daughter's long-held resentments rise to the surface, he can no longer "travel" at a moment's notice. He also discovers the very real physical and mental risks involved in roaming the Time Stream.

Despite the dangers, Roy is determined to help the Traveler. But he can't do it alone. Fortunately he has a loving wife and a core group of loyal friends. But first he must convince them--and his daughter--that he isn't crazy ...


Kerry Downing's Bio:
Kerry Downing set out to become a meteorologist, but was hooked by the world of computers instead, becoming a systems analyst and programmer. Astronomy and science fiction are his passions. He’s been gazing at the stars at all hours of the night since the age of 10, when he received his first telescope. As for science fiction, Arthur C. Clarke and his brand of “it really seems as if it could happen” has always been his favorite. In the 90s, Kerry found the third love of his life: his wife, Lucy. They live in St. Louis, Missouri, with their five children. Time Slice is Kerry’s second science-fiction novel. His self-published, debut work is The Collective.

About Me

Brande
I am a working mom with an addiction to coffee, chocolate, and books.. I read an average 3 to 4 books a week to escape reality. I have setup this site to organize my own thoughts and help others when choosing what to read. Since I can be a dimwit at times I decided to keep a record of the books I read. This record turned into reviews so I would remember if I liked the book I forgot I had read. I am not particularily funny and my grammer sucks so please don’t expect much. Basically I don’t know jack about many things, but I do know what I like in a novel and what makes me want to spend my money on an author.
