Book Cover & Preview Text
Jinnie looked at the man outside. He was still waiting. She wondered if anyone else could see him. The fading sun cast last tendrils of light through his body, as if he were a ghost. “You’re really here at last,” Jinnie whispered. But for how long? Panic seized Jinnie. She ... hurried down the stairs and pushed the outside door open carefully. The cold autumn air made her hesitate. Across the street, he smiled at her and waved. Jinnie took a deep breath and crossed the street to join him. “Griffin?” “My liege.” He bowed his head, but when he looked at her, Griffin’s eyes sparkled with love. “I feared you would never descend. Are you ready to return?” “Return?” “To Keldonabrieve. The sun is setting. We must hurry. The Chill is coming.” Jinnie nodded, not understanding but unwilling to question. “Then let’s go.” Griffin smiled and took her right arm just above the elbow, guiding Jinnie’s step. A drunk, propped in a doorway across the street, saw a man and a woman talking beside a lamp post. He blinked and they were gone. It began to snow.

About the Book
What if a daydream became an alternate reality? What if that reality became a nightmare?
"Travelers," Ninehtah said at last, "create bridges between worlds; bridges of time which we cross when our next lifetime is fully formed. As we become incompatible with one world, we split apart and then gradually become whole."
"What went wrong?" asked Jinnie.
In, The Traveler, Jinnie is magically transported to Ispell, to the other half of a dual existence and to the real love of Griffin. Her memory of her life on Earth, however, is as absent as her memory of her life on Ispell. She feels like an actor in a play who knows the story, but has forgotten the lines.
Without warning, Jinnie is pulled to a new life on a different world. Haunted by dreams of Griffin, Jinnie regains her memory only to be pulled even further away from the life and love she desires. Resolving to understand what's happening to her and why, Jinnie finally discovers the horrible truth behind her strange existence, and the wrenching emptiness underlying the words, "I love you."
