We are just about there!!
THE AFTER TIMES looks like it's going to be ready to order on or about August 19th!
It's the final book in the Bean series, a time-traveler, and yes, it's got pretty much the whole cast of characters you've grown to love (I hope you love 'em, anyway). Bean, Zak, Amp, and Claire are now elder advisers. The new younglings are self-proclaimed nerds, Shakespeare lovers, vinyl record fans, and all around misfits: Gracie (a time-traveler to 2020 from 1962) and her friends Zoey and Dylan.
There are evil time demons, a concert cellist with a promising career in three different centuries, and a highly unlikely save-the-day visit from the last person you'd expect to want to smash the patriarchy. And yet...
This book took me two years and then some to write. I started at the beginning of lockdown, where the book is set. And then my pandemic pivot called me away from fiction. It was a real joy to get back in the saddle and finish THE AFTER TIMES for you. I'll be posting excerpts, details about my upcoming blog tour, and buy links as soon as I've got em! Till then, start remembering just how crazy it really WAS right at the beginning of the pandemic--no vaccine, not enough masks to go around, testing hard to come by...and people locked in together. That's where my tale starts, but I promise you a very happy ending. (I rewrote the last chapter three times!)
I think you're going to like THE AFTER TIMES.
