Let's talk about my Time travel book. I value your feedback and communication. Some say I write a lot of spook and maybe I do, but it's all designed to make us think about the possibilities of a world gone a bit askew. Hmmmmmm, What if?
If you're like me and enjoy reading stories that keep you company during the cold winter while sitting by a blazing fire, or perhaps bundled up while thunder crashes and lightning chases shadows across your pages, then you might get a kick out of The Clock Shop and Charles Rikker's visit to the Emit Levart Clock shop.
I'd like to hear from you, to find out if what I write is maybe keeping you up at night. I don't write horror, just things that may raise the hair on the back of your neck, like a cold breeze when there is no wind. The Clock Shop/ Emit Levart, which is a time travel book to some degree, and an emotional thriller with some spook in the corners. There are moments that may lift you out of your seat and send the proverbial chill down your spine. But, isn't life like that, an occasional chilling moment that happens most unexpectedly. After all, if you expected it, your spine probably wouldn't tingle.
What if NASA inadvertently built a space shuttle that could travel in time, all quite by accident of course, but what if? Would time travel be possible? Is time travel possible? If so, wouldn't someone write a time travel book? If time travel existed, could you return at the same time you left so no one would know you were gone? The answers to all these questions are in The Clock Shop. Perhaps it's not science fiction!

My first Novel, The Clock Shop/ EMIT LEVART, was published a few years ago and I have been fortunate to receive some high marks from the reviews on Amazon.com. and Barnes and noble.com.
I've been a fan of Rod Serling and "The
Twilight Zone" most of my life. The man was amazing and definitely ahead of his time. He
knew how to send a message, raise the hair on the back of our necks, and yet, he avoided being classified as horror. I don't
claim to be Rod Serling, but I do tend to write with a bit of a twist or
two as we navigate along that thin line of demarcation that separates
day from night.
The Clock Shop / Emit Levart is a suspenseful thriller about one man's challenge against the evil forces of darkness. After thirty years as an intelligence officer for the US Army, Colonel Charles Rikker discovers his real mission in life because it came to him in The Emit Levart Clock Shop: The world is on the brink of destruction when he comes face to face with . . .well, let's just say for now that he has an encounter with ultimate darkness, and then a ghostly visit from his father. He has no choice but to accept his mission, and for the first time in his life, he will be completely alone.
In,The Clock Shop/ EMIT LEVART, we watch a very logical character, Charles Rikker, face a totally impossible situation where logic has no place. He is spiritually and emotionally challenged by what he must do or face the consequences of massive global destruction. At a time when he is ready to retire and spend his days with his beautiful wife, he envisions her death and the nuclear destruction of all he has ever fought for. A terrorist has gone insane and he is the only one who can stop the annihilation.
What could one do if they could warp time and cloak hideous crimes?
The Clock Shop is a five-book series, with the second book, "The Lost Inheritance," in the hands of my editor right now and hopefully in your hands soon.
This is another Charles Rikker Novel. As we discovered in the first Clock Shop novel, Charles inherited a mansion from his great aunt and uncle. A rather strange event seeing as his benefactors vanished off the planet eighteen years before Charles was born. He didn't' discover the inheritance until 1983 when the will became public. The structure sat vacant for fifty years and no one knew it would come to life, to seemingly breathe on its own, at least until its new owners moved in. Will Charles find out how Hershel and Margaret Benson decided to write him into their will? And what possible motive would there be to keep the will hidden for fifty years?
I first took and interest in writing in high school. It was the thrillers that caught my attention, the ones that keep you on the edge of your seat right until the very end. In The Clock Shop, Charles and Mary Rikker are, for the most part, quite normal and life has gone quite well for these two. Until, that is, Charles makes a trip to Terretsville, a small town located in the upper peninsula of Michigan. His plan is to visit The Emit Levart Clock Shop with the intention of bringing home an antique grandfather clock, the perfect finishing touch to his inherited Mansion, and an ideal thirtieth anniversary gift.
Even thirty years as a soldier and intelligence officer, couldn't prepare Charles for what waited for him in The Clock Shop. Could the ghost of his long-dead father be waiting for him in Terretsville?
This is an emotional and deeply suspenseful thriller, not horror, but it does take us on that eerily mystifying journey between light and dark; good and evil. Colonel Charles Rikker has been an army intelligence officer for three decades, and everything must be logical in his life; things must fit together, like the pieces of a puzzle.
The world is in trouble, but not like anything Charles has ever faced before, and now he has a different kind of, a task where failure is not an option, but, for the first time in his life, he must act alone; he can't tell one soul what he is about to do.
