Myth
Agent
by
L.A. MacFadden
Genre:
Historical Time Travel, Science Fiction
It's
1945, soon after VJ Day. Odessa Shatto, an antiques dealer, is
pierced in the side by a prehistoric bone. The next morning she
awakens, horrified to see a hideous green slime creeping over her,
hardening into a cocoon that quickly entombs her in darkness and
leaves her fearing for her life. Each time it happens, she remembers
feeling a sense of being thrown hard, as though from the hand of a
giant. And the last time, she remembers her trajectory crossing with
that of her fiancé, a soldier who has been injured in the Pacific in
World War Two. They may think of their paths crossing as a gift, but
in reality it will produce agonizing results.
Ruttledge
Rosenbaugh, a professor of science devoted to his students at Hensley
University, has spent years learning from his mentor, whose mantra
was that time travelers are constantly around and unnoticed. But
nothing Ruttledge has ever heard or read on time travel prepares him
for what he witnesses in his secret laboratory in 1910. After
recuperating from the ordeal, he spends years trying to prove the
existence of time travel, while a jealous rogue from his past lies in
wait, hoping to debunk any time travel theory the professor
develops--no matter the cost.
Myth
Agent is a time travel tale, woven of the fantastic, and interspersed
with traces of historical fiction.
L.A.
MacFadden was born in Oregon in 1956 to parents who were fond of the
great outdoors and instilled that appreciation in their five
children. Her father was employed by the Boy Scouts of America in
Oregon, Washington, and Montana, so she spent all of her youthful
summers in Boy Scout camps her father directed. But because the
programs of course weren't for girls, she and her three sisters spent
a good deal of time reading books borrowed from the libraries of
nearby towns. Those wonderful days of reading all those books-whether
in the library, under the shady branches of trees, or in a tiny
cabin, were responsible for her love of books, and no doubt led to
her desire to become an author.
In
1975 she married her high school sweetheart, then a member of the
United States Marine Corps. Later, they settled in western Oregon,
near the beautiful Columbia River Gorge, where they enjoy spending
time with their two grown children, grandchildren, and a host of
extended family. L.A. MacFadden can often be found at home, working
on her next book!
