Benji, the 6’7” red headed time traveler, former professional wrestler, and reluctant porn star, wants to return to his natal time: the 18th century. He finally makes it back just in time to rescue a “verra tall, verra stubborn” Negress slave who doesn’t speak English and seems to have attracted quite a few enemies. Life has never been easy for Benji, but his bright attitude and physical strength change the lives of many in both the 18th and 21st centuries.
The Fairies Saga are the tales of time travelers and their friends and family who bounce between the present day and the 18th century, interacting with the ‘fictional’ characters of the popular ‘Lost’ novels. Revenge, intrigue, and passion with a comic twist.

British Lord Marty Melbourne has traveled back in time and is now lost in 1781 North Carolina. His troubles increase when he's assaulted and robbed by the callous Grant MacLeod, a ne’er do well dragging his younger sister and her young child across the country, robbing and pillaging at every opportunity. Marty escapes with his life but little else. No horse, no shoes, and no sense of direction thwart Marty’s homecoming to 2013.

Ever Rose

Patricia Watts

Josef, a young gold seeker in Alaska in 1913, finds an intriguing photo of a woman and uses it to spin a story to appease his young son.  This story – about a noble, adventurous beauty he calls Aunt Rose--becomes a family legend that is carried on by Josef’s descendents. Almost a hundred years later, Josef’s great-granddaughter, Germaine, a troubled teen, runs away from her California home to Alaska, where she discovers that Aunt Rose, honored in stories she’s heard all her life, is a myth fabricated from a picture of a prostitute.  To find her way back home, Germaine must learn the true value of family and of second chances.
