Time travel is always a classic. "Lighting Odyssey", my kid's historical time- travel tale, is finally in paperback. I ransacked the historical archives of New Paltz, New York, an early Duzine settlement, for the characters in this exciting tale, and brought them forward in time via a lightning bolt. "Lightning Odyssey" is available at the Hand Made and More Shop, and the Mohonk Mountain House in New Paltz. If this is not an option for you and you'd like a copy of this historical sci-fi, fun for kids 8 to 80, please leave a message on the message board here at authorsden or contact me at BettyAnnDamms@hotmail.com. Leave your e-dress or phone number and I will contact you. Lightning Odssesy is $16.00 each, includes S&H. Thanks. I am also currently seeking an agent (preferably AAR) for my suspense, "Fiddler's Rood" a 120,000 word, 2-part story of a hard-earned family that entails murder, romance, and the IRA; a search for Irish roots, and a coming to terms of where real love comes from. And for "Survival at Sumitville" - another young people's historical fiction about a kidnapping on NYS's Delaware & Hudson Canal.
