When I was a wee babe, I watched the movie A Kid in King Arthur's Court, where a modern teenager goes back "in time" and has all sorts of shenanigans as a result. Don't ask me why, but the storyline engaged my brain for years. Finally, back in 2020, someone important to me listened to me discuss this time travel book I've always wanted to write.
She looked at me and said, "I'd read it! You should write it!"
So I did.
The Singularity Series follows Saira Andromeda, a 26yo Particle Physicist who, in cahoots with her scientist father, discovers the technology for time travel. Just in time, too, because an asteroid is hurtling toward Earth.
Except there aren't nearly enough supplies to save her entire family. Saira and her father head out on separate journeys to find a parallel universe that's suitable for their family. Once they return home, they'll have enough time and information to save everyone they love.
If only it were that simple, eh? This series didn't quite turn out how I imagined my story for years, but it's an excellent exploration in self-development, choosing our destinies, and what it means to make hard choices.
Introducing the singularity series, where saira traverses parallel universes
Through The Folded Stars
Saira’s time travel checklist is simple: Supplies? Check. Scientific tools? Check. A desperate need to save her family from the apocalypse? Check to the power of infinity.
Unfortunately, no checklist would have prepared her for landing in a matriarchal society of shapeshifters. Sure, there are samples to collect and data to process — but a girl’s gotta live a little, too. And if she falls in love with a shifter or two?
Well, it’s all in the name of science.
Beyond The Layered Universes
Leaving Ilorna was the second hardest thing Saira Andromeda's ever done ... Aside from leaving her family to die, of course.
Unfortunately, things are about to get infinitely more complicated. Things won't stop trying to eat her, including but not limited to dinosaurs, creatures without names, and even a dragaen eyes her with hungry interest.
Each parallel universe tears at her sanity until it feels like there's nothing left to bring home. Who will she be when it's all said and done? What will she want? Better yet — will she ever see the loves of her life ever again?
Only time will tell.
