Press F5 to Load Game
Novel

General Audiences
How to win an election:
1. Shake hands.
2. Kiss babies.
3. Travel through time.
“Politics is more difficult than physics,” said Albert Einstein. Now that we can time travel, this is no longer true.
All the State House gossips go abuzz when an influential senator forms an alliance with Rep. Frannie Upwood, the capital’s most famous underachiever and favorite butt of jokes. Why his sudden interest in such a lightweight politician?
It’s up to Lars Uxbridge, the senator’s disloyal staffer, to find out, after he joins a network of political spies. What Lars discovers is a secret far beyond anything other state reps can muster. To get ahead in politics, Frannie’s got something better than snappy slogans, wealthy donors, and door-to-door volunteers.
She’s got a time machine.
Frannie shows that when you’re armed with time travel, you’re the star athlete in a game where the world is your playing field, you make your own rules, and you always beat the shot clock.
But as Frannie will learn, this game has opponents to contend with. Rivals who might not play fair. When the prizes are enormous power, money, and control of time itself, watch out for cheat moves and low blows…

"In addition to being a crime thriller, the interjection of humor makes it a tongue in cheek analysis of politics and politicians. Not a far reach in our world of today."
-- Serenity, Amazon Top 500 Reviewer
"It's a surprisingly thought-provoking read; I found myself imagining what I would have done had I been in the characters' shoes with the ability to reset my life whenever I desired."
