In Times to Come Series
Displaced is the first book in my new In Times to Come Series, launched in April 2022. Like my previous post-apocalyptic and dystopian works, this is a story of survival action and adventure in a setting where technology has failed or has been disrupted and law and order have collapsed. The main difference is that in this story the central protagonist is also lost in time, arriving by accident in a near-future America he couldn’t have imagined when he set out for a hike in 2012.
The In Times to Come series begins in New Mexico’s Gila Wilderness, a place I have explored many times over the years and continue to find myself drawn to as often as I can get there. The Gila is truly a vast roadless wilderness with rugged mountains, seldom visited canyons and countless remote caves and caverns. The idea for this story came from my own discovery of forgotten artifacts and relics in one of those hidden caves, and as the series progresses, I intend to write a nonfiction account of that particular backpacking trip for those who are interested.
The Time Travel genre has always been one of my favorites, especially when it is mixed with exploration, survival and raw backcountry adventure. The works of Edgar Rice Burroughs in particular held my fascination as a young reader, and no doubt inspired many of the adventures I undertook in the islands, jungles and mountains when I was old enough to set out on my own.
The second and third episodes of the In Times to Come series are planned for later this year, with Book Two: Destiny scheduled for release in October.
