She accidentally time traveled with a killer. Now, she may never hold her son in her arms again. Syd Brixton can timeblink. So when she and her sister are trapped on a crashing plane, Syd doesn’t hesitate to use the power to transport them both back in time five years. But things get complicated when they arrive in 2019 and discover three strangers have inadvertently hitched a ride, one of them with a dark and deadly past. It wouldn’t be a problem if Syd could timeblink everyone back to the present, back to anywhere but a looming air disaster. Unfortunately, timeblinking doesn’t work like that. It comes with its own set of rules—and those rules make the group’s return to their present just as dangerous as if they had stayed on the doomed plane. Syd has not chosen this date randomly, though. Her son’s father, Morley, is still alive in 2019 and the only person on the planet who can help her get back to where their little boy is waiting. But when two of the passengers go missing—one a known murderer—the entire group’s return to the present is threatened. And now, even Morley may not be able to prevent them from being stuck in the past . . . separated from their loved ones forever.

Syd Brixton has bigger problems than trying to prove she’s not a terrorist. In the aftermath of Flight 444’s crash, Syd and her fellow time travelers have become the target of an FBI investigation, suspected of orchestrating the disaster they miraculously survived. But the FBI probe is nothing compared to the final blow that shatters Syd's world: her young son, Christopher, is kidnapped and whisked a decade into the past. With the talisman lost during the plane crash and her ability to timeblink gone with it, Syd’s hopes of finding her little boy crumble. In the grips of despair, Syd comes face-to-face with Christopher’s abductor who chillingly reveals that Syd’s past use of the talisman has attracted the wrong kind of attention. Now, along with Christopher's uncertain fate, the very essence of timeblinking is at risk of exploitation, potentially sparking global chaos. Adding to the impossible situation is Syd’s growing affection for Jarett, the Seattle cop she met on the ill-fated flight who wants to help her find Christopher, even as memories of Morley linger in Syd’s heart. Never has she felt more powerless. Will Syd be able to protect her family and stop the catastrophic ripples she unwittingly set in motion? Or will her efforts prove a futile struggle against the natural flow of time? Find out how the past, present, and future collide in Dragonfly, the thrilling conclusion to The Syd Brixton TimeBlink series.

Nazi scientists started many experiments. One never ended. Roger Greene is a war hero. Raised in an orphanage, the only birthright he knows is the feeling that he was born to fly. Flying against the Axis Powers in World War II is everything he always dreamed—until the day he’s shot down and lands in the hands of the enemy. When Allied bombs destroy both his prison and the mad genius experimenting on POWs, Roger survives. Within hours, his wounds miraculously heal, thanks to those experiments. The Methuselah Project is a success—but this ace is still not free. Seventy years later, Roger hasn’t aged a day, but he has nearly gone insane. This isn’t Captain America—just a lousy existence only made passable by a newfound faith. The Bible provides the only reliable anchor for Roger’s sanity and his soul. When he finally escapes, there’s no angelic promise or personal prophecy of deliverance, just confusion. It’s 2015—and the world has become an unrecognizable place. Katherine Mueller—crack shot, genius, and real Southern Belle—offers to help him find his way home. Can he convince her of the truth of his crazy story? Can he continue to trust her when he finds out she works for the very organization he’s trying to flee? Thrown right into pulse-pounding action from the first page, readers will find themselves transported back in time to a believable, full-colored past, and then catapulted into the present once more. The historical back-and-forth adds a constantly moving element of suspense to keep readers on the edge of their seats.
