From the Author:
WHEN I FIRST WROTE this story, I had to take out certain elements because the original publisher felt readers wouldn't want them. One particular element was the reasoning behind people with "special" blood and what that might mean to the evil forces we all know exist both in this world and in the spirit world beyond. So as I revamped this story to release on my own, I went in and added that element. What I previously had to call Elan, those with special blood, I could go back to calling Chosen. I could now explain that the Chosen were the descendants of King Solomon and his seven hundred wives and three hundred concubines from many nationalities that scattered to the ends of the earth upon his death. The bloodline from which King Solomon came had been blessed, so in the paranormal world I built, I made that blood special and created an evil that craved the blessed blood for its power. I hope you enjoy the changes I made. To me it adds fullness to the story and comes so much closer to the tale I wanted to tell so many years ago.
Reasons do matter.
Given the history of our world and delving into the events that are currently playing out on the world stage, there are some truths to be seen. Good and evil exist. Religions and ideologies play a huge part in everything that happens. And while there is power in money, if you go back through time, there is more power in blood. In creating the Shadowmen Series, I mixed those truths up a bit and had fun in writing stories that I hope show the hearts of strong men and women who go against the odds to fight a growing evil that threatens to overtake the world.
Would that I had the resources and could do so in real life.
Finally, I mention in this story that time travel might not be a person going from one time period to another, but of a person's heart, soul, and spirit transcending the "normal" time it takes for certain things to happen, to courageously leap forward and grasp what is most important.
When life and death are on the line, the normal barriers that keep people isolated from each other disappear as they rise to the occasion and fight for survival. This is even truer for a man and a woman, whose hearts are willing to sacrifice all for another.
I hope you enjoy Erin and Jared's love story, for their whirlwind tale begins many more that follow.
Happy Reading!
