Write. Don't stop, even when all the doubts begin and you think everything you've written is crap. Keep writing.

I'm a firm believer that the true magic of the writing process happens during editing and rewrites.
(Sage Hannigan Time Warper #1)
Publication date: December 2012
Genres: New Adult, Time-Travel
Synopsis:
Eighteen-year-old Sage Hannigan wants to get back to her own time, preferably one that hasn’t been destroyed by an underworld plot brewing in Edwardian-era South Carolina. How hard can it be?
All she has to do is:
1. Learn to use newly acquired warping skills to bend time to her will.
2. Take out a few rogue vampires.
3. Join an ancient secret society.
4. Figure out who is putting the time stream in jeopardy.
5. Find and maim whoever invented the corset.
Sage never asked to be chosen by the Druid Priestess, Amerach, to become a Warper. She also never asked to have the future hanging on her shoulders or to warp a hundred years into the past. She certainly never asked to meet Dr. Aldwin Blake, who would make her question her desire to get back to her own time. But if she fails her mission, people will die, history will change, and the present she wishes to return to will be no more.

Excerpt:
"By the time I struggled out of the corset by myself—which took entirely too long, and I’m not certain, but the whole process may have involved some foul language—washed my face in a water basin, and finally laid down on my bed, I was unable to quiet the tornado of emotions and thoughts swirling around in my head. I still wanted to cling to the hope that if I went to sleep that night, I’d wake up safe and sound back in my apartment in 2004 and I’d laugh my butt off at the ridiculously elaborate dream I’d had. But, as much as I craved that, I was coming to the conclusion that my reality was much, much more complicated. Not only did I find out I had time traveled to a different time and that vampires were real, but I’d also found out I’d been chosen to wield powers and help fight the forces of evil. I was so in over my head. I just hoped I could live up to all the expectations and do whatever I had to do to get back to my time."
BOOK 2
Relativity by Peggy Martinez
(Sage Hannigan Time Warper #2)
Publication date: February 20th 2013
Genres: New Adult, Time-Travel
Synopsis:
Three months after Sage Hannigan time warps a hundred years into the past and saves the future as we know it, she is still trying to come to grips with all the has gained…and all that she has lost. All of her searching hasn’t turned up Cerberus Society or any creatures of the night and she’s beginning to wonder if she’s gone crazy after all. The only things keeping her grounded are her sparring sessions with Matt and her weekly ritual of scouring the city for low lives to kick the crap out of, and even that can’t keep her dreams free of the heartache and bitter sweet memories she has come to loath and…to cherish. When blasts from the past; good, bad, and evil, come knocking on her door, will she be able to do what she has to even if it means having her barely-healing heart ripped to shreds?

Excerpt:
I stood there with my hands on my hips trying to decide which was more disturbing—the fact that I’d just punched some idiot in the face right in the middle of Taco Hut and enjoyed it or that I’d done it while wearing a mini-sombrero and a name tag that read: “Hola! Mi nombre es Sage!”
