Orphan Dreamer Saga Series

If you knew your ending, how would you have lived your beginning? The past: Daniela is more than just a college sophomore. She's the Orphan Dreamer charged to use her time-travel device to solve an ancient mystery that connects Genghis Khan, the Ark of the Covenant, an ancient Hebrew statue found inside a bombed World War II–era church in Hiroshima, Japan, and a future monster named the Antichrist. But the clues she must follow will force her to experience the ultimate betrayal. And what Daniela discovers will change her destiny and the fate of the world. The present: The pandemic is punching harder than a heavyweight boxer, and the Orphan Dreamer is at her weakest. War with the Nephilim. War to stop a raging pandemic. War with the First Lady of the United States. And a terrifying plan concocted by a Manchurian Candidate to betray her own. All elements seem set on assassinating the Orphan Dreamer. But if she cannot stop these evil forces, humanity may not survive to fight the Nephilim during the coming great war—Armageddon.

OUTLANDER and DOWNTON ABBEY fans will adore LITTLE PEACH LIES―a PG historical (time-travel) romance and the ninth installment of the ORPHAN DREAMER SAGA set against the backdrop of Scotland's famed Saint Andrews University and the Queen of England's Scotland residence, Palace of Holyroodhouse.   Charlotte Cairstine McDonald, the soon-to-be Duchess of the Isles of Caithness, is about to learn that even in 1967, it's dangerous to be born a royal. Especially if that royal—a.k.a. Charlotte—is hiding a secret . . . one that could end her engagement to a dreamy English duke.   While alone on Saint Andrew's seaside bluff, Charlotte drifts into sleep and is transported from her 1960's reality to 1567 Scotland―an era when her secret would have guaranteed a trip to the executioner's dungeon.    Charlotte encounters her great ancestor, Queen Mary of Scotland, who sounds a dire warning to her future heiress. But will Charlotte solve the clue before she loses her head no differently than Queen Mary?   The stakes are much higher than Charlotte realizes—beyond her stained reputation or abandonment by the royal family. History might be irreparably changed. Even if Charlotte survives the Dark Ages, a real and present threat still exists that can derail the future Orphan Dreamer's mission to help humanity and find her essential sidekick—her kindred-spirit Emmaline, Charlotte's future daughter.   Brew your favorite tea and snuggle up with an historical (time-travel) romance: LITTLE PEACH LIES, the fifth short story (episode nine) in the Orphan Dreamer Saga.
