IS RELATIVE FOR A KNIGHT OF TIME

BLURB:
Meet
Rolland Wright - a seventeen year old orphan living out of his car in
rural Woodland Hills, California. Aside from grappling with the fact
of being abandoned by his drunken father two years previous following
his mothers mysterious murder, his life mostly revolves around
finding a warm place to sleep at night. When one day he is attacked
by men claiming to have killed his father, Rolland discovers a
strange ability to slow the flow of time around him, beginning a
journey that takes him to places outside of time, space, and
eventually to the early 19th century to fight the sinister General
Andrew Jackson. With the help of a rag-tag group of historical and
mythical figures with various supernatural abilities of their own
(Joan of Arc, Jesse James, etc) known as the Knights of Time, Rolland
solves the mystery behind his mother's murder, falls in love, battles
the evil Edward Vilthe - reaper of souls, and finds a home of his own
in the paradise known as Eden.
The
Time is Relative series chronicles the origin story of the mythical
figure Father Time, beginning with the award winning first novel,
Time is Relative for a Knight of Time. All dates and events are
historically accurate. The participants... maybe not.

EXCERPTS
Fire
quickly engulfed the limestone building that locals had come to call
the White House, forcing the frantic women out the large front doors
and into the wide-open marshland beyond the carefully manicured
grounds. The night air hit Dolley’s skin with a damp unevenness
that made every hair on the back of her neck stand on end. Looking
over to Hannah, she saw her own terrified expression mirrored on the
young girl’s face, watching as the girl gazed out into the darkness
of the tree line. There, in the light of the blazing White House,
stood a man so still the trees themselves surpassed him for movement.
The dark
figure walked towards them, seemingly impervious to the chaos that
surrounded the nation’s capital, the shadows and light from the
inferno behind them dancing across him. As he neared, they saw that
he was an older man with bits of silver streaking through the black
mass of hair sitting atop his slim and polished frame. He was
dressed in a dark crimson sweater vest over a pressed long-sleeved
button down shirt, and what looked to be crisp and freshly tailored
pantaloons.
“Good
evening, Lady Madison,” said the man, pausing for a moment to bow
to her before continuing in their direction. His face was
expressionless, eyes mimicking the darkness of the night around him.
The man was not especially scary looking, especially in his elegant
dressings. Still, there was an aura to him that spoke to the survival
instincts within the two women, evoking impressions of jackals –
sharp teeth, claws, and minds.
