Post image Book promo image of a twenty-something white woman with wavy dark hair, bright red lipstick, and wearing a long, olive green wool coat of World War II Army vintage. She looks anxiously over her shoulder at a cityscape at night, with searchlight beams cutting across a teal-colored sky and lighting up old-fashioned propellor-powered airplanes overhead. A text box superimposed over the image reads: 5 stars, a perfect blend of historical fiction, a bit of sci-fi, and wonderful romance. A text box at the foot of the image reads: Beryl Blue, Time Cop, A WWII time travel adventure.

#TimeTravelAuthors Day 7

Beryl Blue isn’t serious about #timetravel, until she’s trapped in a time machine:

“A tornado whipped up. The walls melted like a Dali painting. The library dissolved and my body was yanked into an undulating vortex. Now I believed. Every damn word Glo had said."

😊 50 years ago, All the President’s Men hit theaters. Deidre Daly, the FMC of my 1976-set #comingofage MY BICENTENNIAL, is excited when The Boy asks her to see the film. Until a mob of friends tag along. So does another kind of friend, cramping her plans.

Jeff Bezos has $222 billion.

If he paid my wealth tax this year, we could fund insulin in America for everyone who needs it plus free school lunch for every kid in Texas—and have plenty of money left over.

And Bezos would still have $215 billion dollars to spare.

I hear you. I cut a couple of moments from Beryl 1 when my then agent was shopping it around, but put back in when I ended up taking it indie.

Ehhh, not exactly illegal, but certainly heavily regulated. Not a problem for a time traveler, anyway.

(And thanks for not narc-ing on Beryl!)

Post image Square image of an audiobook cover, with a vibrant pinkish-purple background and the setting sun. Beryl, in the foreground wearing a summery red dress, looks back at a shiny new blue 1946 car and a 3-story building; yellow light spills out of the building's upper floor window, framing the silhouette of a man wearing a fedora gazing out at Beryl. The author's name is in white at the top of the illustration: Janet Raye Stevens, Award-Winning Author, with Narrated By Cassandra Medcalf underneath. At the bottom of the picture is the book's title, It's Been A Long, Long Time: A Beryl Blue, Time Cop Novel.

Beryl Blue loves coffee, which is in short supply in the future, so she's stuck w/a fake brew called triple-synth:

"I took a sip, followed by a grimace. It tasted like caffeinated mud. It always tasted like that. So why did my taste buds hope this time it'd be different?"

It's #IndieAuthor month! I'm celebrating in my usual way: blatant self promotion.

Kicking off w/my award-winning #timetravel BERYL BLUE, TIME COP. Feisty librarian finds herself in 1943 w/no phone, no clue & no idea how to save a WWII soldier from a time traveling assassin.

That's great! Librarians make great characters - they roll with the punches and have all the answers (and can look them up if they don't!).

Listen to my story ’bout a woman named Blue
A modern day librarian who doesn’t have a clue
Then one day she falls while shelving up some tomes
Next thing you know, she's in WWII on her own
To save a soldier, that is. Who’s hot. And very stubborn.
