I
have 15 minutes to save my mother’s life….
15
minutes is all the Rewind Agency gives you in the past, but for Lara
Crane it’s enough time to race through the city, find her mother,
and stop her from being killed in a mugging that happened over ten
years ago.
But
that’s not how it happened. The story she’s been told all her
life is a lie and when Lara takes a bullet meant for her mother, her
future changes forever.
The
love of her life acts like a stranger. Her simple life is replaced
with a giant house, glamorous clothes and a new boyfriend.
Except
someone knows her secret. And he will try to stop her at every turn
as she races against the clock to unravel a dangerous conspiracy.
15
Minutes is an edgy high octane YA thriller that can be described as
Back to the Future meets Inception where the people Lara trusts
change in an instant. She is in a timeline she doesn't understand,
and is about to make one fatal mistake as she faces an enemy so
familiar, he’s family.
EXCERPT
“That’s funny,” she laughs. “That’s
my daughter’s name.” Her eyes aren’t suspicious. Her face is only kind.
My wrist watch beeps. I’m down to
two minutes.
Mom turns towards the music store,
and I follow. I see a man in the alley out of the corner of my eye.
“Mom!”
Mouth agape, her head whips toward
me. “What did you call me?”
There’s no time to answer.
A gun
goes off.
About
the Author
I
could write this in the third person. I could tell you what I like,
where I was born, and what my favorite things are.
But instead, I'll say I don't want to write like everyone else. I don't want to craft stories you've read a thousand times before. I want my novels to be a cinematic experience, blending themes, genres, and situations unlike any you've ever read.
I want to break the rules. I want you to break out in a cold sweat as you read my books out of fear, love, and excitement. I want my books to be an experience. When you finish, I want you to feel something. Good or bad.

If you do, then I'll have succeeded. If not, I'll keep trying.
