About this amazing book:
Four teenagers travel back in time to save a life and solve a mystery. Will they be successful? Will they make it back?
OMG begins when Kelly, whose parents died in a car accident, moves from Texas during early summer to live with her Aunt Jane who is an assistant district attorney. Kelly quickly becomes friends with her quirky next door neighbor Scott who has a reputation as the school’s number one geek.
Scott’s best friend is Austin, the hot and popular quarterback. Even though he runs with the cool crowd, he has stayed loyal to Scott. He joins Scott and Kelly as they embark on an adventure after Scott invents a way to travel back in time.
Zoey is on the cheer squad and hangs with the popular kids. She barely even notices that Scott and Kelly exist, but she is very focused on getting Austin’s attention.
Through a twist of technology, they go back in time to help a girl who pleads for their help. They solve the mystery, but are then faced with the dilemma of whether or not to right a wrong or to let history stand. The four end up on the time travel adventure of their lives.So why time travel? Why not leave everything set in today’s world? Wouldn’t that be more logical?
That’s a great question. There are three reasons. First, by taking the characters back in time it sets up the proverbial fish out of water scenario that becomes entertaining in itself.
Second, it becomes a form of a history lesson when you realize that there was a time when luggage didn’t have wheels, cell phones didn’t exist, schools didn’t have armed guards and information flowed so slowly that the slower speed of life could become and ally when trying to save a life.
Third, if the meat of the stories were set in the current day the reader would be too easily tempted to visualize the story and plot from their 21st century glasses instead of say 1966 when OMG took place.
Time travel allowed us to take some of today’s most difficult events in a teen’s life and entertain them with real world intellect and skills and set them on course to solve a mystery and accomplish a worthwhile mission in a time before they were born.You have a bit of paranormal influence in the CUL8R stories. What does that do to help set the stage or move the story along?
A critic could label this series, as Hollywood would say “It’s Back to the Future” meets “90210”. We didn’t want the reason they risked their lives to time travel to 1966 to be so trivial as an accidental time travel event and the second and third act conceived and concerned with avoiding a time travel paradox to save his own future. We wanted to keep the overarching humor of today’s teens dealing with being adults in a time that they only heard of from maybe their grandparents. We used the paranormal influences to make the reason they travel back real, important and worthy of them risking their lives to right the wrong. To make it more believable we involved some of the history and rumors of Thomas Edison who was a winter resident in Fort Myers Florida near where the CUL8R Series takes place.

Here are some REAL customer reviews:
“The kind of book it’s a pleasure to find”
What a wonderful idea for a time travel story. I loved the idea of a crime chase across time with both the police and the criminal going about changing events. And while many threads of time change, its unclear for awhile what makes things better or…Read more
“A suspenseful and engaging thriller, mystery and sci-fi rolled into one!”
I love the concept of time travel, it has always held a huge amount of intrigue and fascination for me (and most of the time you just really can't figure out exactly how it works!). This is an awesome ride – I found it to be a real page-turner that I…Read more
“Great Sci-Fi action adventure!”
The world has become over populated, by the virtue of medical research. People live much longer and able to have more children thanks to medical sciences. The world has changed in the way that now just about every piece of land has been habituated by…Read more

What others are saying
Modern Romeo and Juliet
Not your typical romancce read. This book has a little more edge in the story and a little more romance combined. I look forward to seeing what happens to Delilah and Iseah next ……the two main characters where interesting and smartly written.
Twisted Romeo and Juliet
I finished the book and found some merit.The two main characters end up being fairly well-developed. They are working for rival organizations and end up with both being placed in the same untenable situation. They do manage to resolve it adequately with a little outside-the-box thinking.
The problems come with execution. There are word choice issues and some misspellings, but the really annoying part is when the characters are involved in (sometimes) witty repartee. It can go on for awhile and once the author gets on a roll, it becomes hard to follow which character is speaking. There is an unusual convention being used where one character makes a quoted statement then on the same line/in the same paragraph, we get the physical response of the other person. I’m not fond of rereading to grasp things like this so it’s really rather surprising I finished the book. That probably says something about the premise and because I’ve always been frustrated/irritated by the limited problem-solving skills of the original star-crossed lovers.
This book is not for the squeamish. There’s not much gore, but quite a number of abuse and killing discussions. Sex is integral to the plot, if that’s an issue, avoid this book.
