Synopsis

Homicide Detective Dixie Freeman has been chosen by the Federal government for a secret time travel expedition. It is the government's contention that if the world is to survive the raging crime on the streets, she is their only hope of finding new ways to solve crimes. For this mission, the government needs someone tough and intelligent, the least likely to crack under pressure, someone who most likely would do their best to succeed, and someone who is alone in the word. Forced into a world as alien as the planet Jupiter, Dixie immediately finds herself face to face with the head of organized crime of that era. Moments later, she is aided by Commander Randal Forty, head of the New York Police Department. From that moment, the heat is on.

A propos du livre

About the Author

Vickie Kennedy lives in a small town just south of Atlanta where she grew up. She started her writing career as a staff writer for an Atlanta-based professional wrestling magazine, moved up to become editor, but when the magazine sold and changed, she went on to writing poetry and fiction, although still an avid wrestling fan. She has also co-authored a non-fiction book on hiring contractors. Her poetry has been published in anthologies by Watermark Press, and can be viewed on the internet.

When asked how to get started in writing, her answer is always, "Just sit down and do it, but don't stop until you finish, then re-write it, then re-write it again. Write everyday without fail, no matter what. Don't find time to write; make time." She has taught writing classes for Personal Enrichment Programs, has been guest speaker for numerous writer's meetings, and is founder of a writer's group called "The Writer's Block," which meets twice monthly to evaluate each other's work, but it's more than just a critique group. About the group, she says, "We started in 1994, and some members have come and gone, but those of us that persevered are the ones that have succeeded. We not only help each other with writing, but we also help each other personally. No one knows what a writer goes through except another writer. We give support, encouragement, and we're of all genres so we get a feel for other types of stories, not just our own. It's great."

Vickie Kennedy is now single, a mom to three, grandmom to five. She has three dogs, one cat, and two lovebirds. She loves nature's animals and the mountains. She has held jobs ranging from a waitress, telemarketer, market research supervisor, and executive administrative assistant.

She says, "Of all the things I've done in life, writing is what I love most. To succeed, you have to be tough enough to take all the rejection slips and returned manuscripts that come your way and not get discouraged. The best way to handle that is pack it up again and send it to someone else. There is always a publisher looking for a good manuscript, so if you have faith in yourself, faith in the story you want to tell, then by all means, keep it in the mail!"
