Essence, Book 1

Our minds often wander, but can our souls?

Jocelyn Timmons does not believe she is anything special – just an ordinary high school senior, living an ordinary life full of schoolwork, volleyball, and friends. She is about to find out how wrong she is.

Jackson Chandler moved into the house across the street. His dark wavy hair, green eyes, and charismatic personality draws every to him. Everyone, but Jocelyn.

Whenever Jackson gets near Jocelyn, she feels ill and dizzy. When he touches her, she blacks out and has visions of another life, in another time. As the odd hallucinations evolve and become clearer, she feels a strong pull towards the people she sees there. Frightened, she watches her once stable life begin to crumble around her, and she begins to question her own sanity.

Could it be possible that these are actually her own memories of a life she is living somehow, somewhere, some – when?

Enlightened, Book 2

Time stands still, cause time can’t heal.

Present-day Jocelyn uncovers the vast wonderment of the Victorian era but soon learns that life then was not as grand for women as she had read about in the classics. Still, she finds comfort in the support of family and friends; a bolstering contrast to her overly hectic, career-oriented family in the twenty-first century. Her love for Jackson Chandler strengthens across time and becomes the light she so desperately needs as the world she has always known no longer makes sense. Yet, the closer she is drawn to Jackson by their mutual ability, the more strain develops amongst those she loves in 2009.

On the other side of Jocelyn’s consciousness in 1878, she remains ignorant of EVE. Her life is crumbling around her, yet she finds herself anxiously awaiting the images that invade her dreams. Jocelyn longs to be the woman she portrays in that world, yet her jealousy is unbearable. Miscommunication, betrayal, and hidden agendas make trust near impossible. The clearer the visions become the more she questions motives of her closest confidants and foregoes revealing the images that plague her perception. As her life seems to unravel, Jocelyn’s two worlds collide, and she is enlightened as the pieces start to fall into place. But is she strong enough to survive the truth? Is Jackson really her destiny? And can their love transcend time?

Disheartened, Book 2

“I do not know which is worse – sitting on the edge of a Civil War you know is coming or watching your country implode from within on the verge of another that could happen at any time.” ~Sidney Timmons-Marshall

Gifted or cursed with the inherited ability of EVE, Sidney is forced into the inconceivable – her 1860 self-watches on the eve of the American Civil War as the Northerners and Southerners dismantle the fabric of the nation. Whereas her present-day self-witnesses the extreme Progressives and Liberals shred away the decency of the American Culture on a world-wide stage and make the USA the laughingstock of the globe.

Sidney is heartbroken watching everything her loved ones and countrymen from her other life fought to preserve be destroyed by a minuet mindless minority of entitlists and a political party so hell-bent on spreading hate, they would rather burn the nation to the ground than relinquish power.

But what can she do? Can one small voice change the mind of millions with hate in their hearts? Can the country survive a second American Civil War?
