Hello Everyone! Today I get to be one of the lucky people to host a stop on the Time's Alibi's virtual book tour. Joining us will be the author himself explaining how the cover came to be and how it relates to the story. Also don't miss the giveaway at the bottom of this post
About the Book:
Title: Time’s Alibi
Author: By Husky HarlequinGenre: SciFi, political thriller, alternate history, mystery
Description:
Cancer. Undetected, it relentlessly devours its host until there is nothing left. Andrew Acheson's grandfather has been searching for a cure since a rare blood born pathogen claimed the life of his beloved wife.
Family. If damaged, it can be the breeding ground for social disease. Greed infected the Acheson clan long ago. David Acheson, the patriarch, has been missing for over a year and is presumed to be dead. Murdered? Kidnapped? The FBI has no leads. David's heirs can't wait to get their filthy fingers on his pharmaceutical empire.
Discovery. If misunderstood, it has the power to destroy. Andrew desires the success and love that have painfully eluded him. Without his grandfather's guidance, he may never find it. Suddenly thrust into the center of a conflict with historic consequences, Andrew might be able to survive if he can overcome his flaws, both inherited and self-inflicted. But first, he must find his grandfather and deal with David's most dangerous invention yet: time travel.
Guest Post ~ Time's Alibi Cover Story ~ Husky Harlequin
I love the cover
to Time’s Alibi or The Quantum of Jazz
Between the Sun and the Grave. It is
based on a painting by Tawsh Lavata’i that hangs in my bedroom. Great, isn’t it? She grew up in American Samoa, and her work utilizes
traditional Samoan Siapo in a modern way.
I had the pleasure of living in American Samoa, a tiny tropical island
in the South Pacific, for three years.
As one of the hardest places in the world to visit, it embodies the term
“Paradise Lost.” AmSam wears it on her
sleeve. Beautiful but decayed. Fragile but resilient. Lost in time yet forever timeless.
We all know how
it feels. We’ve all been there before,
captivated by a moment in time, unable to move forward with life. Past glory contrasted with present failures
that mock us. Or a decision made at the
crossroads that unexpectedly leaves us stranded. Innocence lost, stolen perhaps by The
Wise. We can fight like crazy to
recapture what was lost, pouring our energy, our finite resources into the
endeavor, but if we aren’t careful, we may get stuck tilling weeds instead of
planting a new garden. Inspiration, even
redemption, can be found in striving for something fresh and new. Every paradise starts in a greenhouse, of
sorts.
The Acheson family, in Time’s Alibi, lives in a metaphorical jungle, long overgrown with neglect. David, a pharmaceutical magnate and patriarch, laments the loss of his wife years ago from a rare form of blood cancer. He obsesses in his research lab to the exclusion of his family. Andrew, his grandson, is floundering, unable to escape a childhood filled with disappointment and wrong turns. He could develop into a fully functional adult with David’s help, but life takes fateful turn when David accidentally discovers time travel, sucking Andrew into a world of dangerous political consequences. It might be exactly what Andrew needs to tame the jungle and find his Eden. That, or it’s a one-way ticket to his permanent demise, pushing up daisies in an unmarked grave.
Pick up a copy of their story. It is an exciting adventure rooted in SciFi that branches out into a thrilling mystery. It will leave you pondering life and its many possibilities.
