Blurb for Shattering Time:
The number one
best-selling thriller Stealing Time continues it’s “breathtakingly original”
journey.
Ronnie Andrews returns
from eighteenth-century London shell-shocked from her first terrifying time
travel encounter. Her boyfriend, Jeffrey Brennan, casts doubt on her sanity
leaving Ronnie wondering if she went back in time or is having a mental breakdown.
To add to the tension, Hurricane Francis, a storm the size of
Texas, is barreling towards Florida and her fears of a repeat time travel
experience mount. Ronnie’s best friend Steph, along with her friend Nick and
Steph’s younger brother Ian, shield Ronnie from the dangers of Francis but
cannot save her from traveling back in time. Unfortunately, their meddling
brings Ronnie to the brink of destruction as they are caught in the throes of
the hurricane’s wrath.
Once again, Ronnie is
transported to dangerous places and plagued with desperate situations, while
experiencing perilous cultures including one of America’s first mysteries --
the Lost Colony of Roanoke Island.
A stunning conclusion
brings Ronnie face to face with a dangerous ally who may hold the key to her
past while offering salvation for her future.

DeleteThis book sounds so good.
ReplyDeleteI plan on catching up with the first book as I have heard amazing things.
The cover caught my attention and the blurb pulled me in.
I love finding new authors, off I go I have a book to read.
Maria, thank you so much! I hope you enjoy them! Really appreciate you stopping by!
DeleteThis was my first block party and it was really fun! Love the covers too - thanks KJ!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much! It was great to have you stop by!
DeleteThe cover is so pretty love it.Can't wait to read Shattering Time.
ReplyDeleteJean, thank you! It was fun creating it, but loads of work and rework. I'm so glad you like it!
DeleteI like cover 2 because the lightning blot seems more direct. Looking forward to the new read!
ReplyDeleteGreat thank you Mark! I'm so glad to see you over here! Thanks for stopping by!

DeleteSounds like a good story. I like both covers.
ReplyDeleteCindyAnn thank you! It's great to see you over here on on my blog!
DeleteHi, I like the larger arrow as it will show up better in thumbnail.
ReplyDeleteYour Goodreads giveaway does not apply to Ireland.
Enjoy the beach!
Oh, I didn't think to add Ireland, I was thinking it was part of UK for these purposes. Sorry about that! Thank you for your advice! I like that one with the larger arrow too!
DeleteThis story, and the series, sounds so intriguing.
ReplyDeleteThanks Jaime! I hope you check it out. I've had so much fun writing it!
DeleteHi KJ, I'm not sure of the day of your party, but I enjoyed reading your blog and the beautiful photos too. I wish you every success with SHATTERING TIME. I love your idea of voting for the final cover of the book too. May your day be successful. Kind regards Maretha Botha
ReplyDeleteMareth! Today is my day, just a little snafu this morning. Thanks for your comments, I really appreciate you stopping by today! Hope you have a fabulous day!
DeleteAm a happy new citizen of KJ Waters Fandom. Excited to get into some good reading!
ReplyDeleteHa! Thank you Ben it is a pleasure to have you aboard the S.S. Waters! Grab your life vest it's gonna be a wild ride!
DeleteThey are awesome covers, KJ :) My preference is for 1 as I like the big arrow and the lightning stands out without being too bright. I do prefer the background colours of 2 but overall, definitely 1!
ReplyDelete-Karen xx
Thank you so much! It's easily fixable to switch colors and what not. I so appreciate your input Karen!
DeleteI really like #1 for the cover. I can't wait to read this book!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much Carol! I hope you enjoy it!
DeleteI love the Virgin Islands. The water is so clear and beautiful. These books sound interesting.
ReplyDeletemarlene(dot)ezell(at)gmail(dot)com
Thank you Marlene for stopping by last week! I now have this urge to go to the BVI so it's on my to do list!
DeleteI like Cover # 1 best. You said there were 4 differences in the covers but I could only find 3.
ReplyDeleteGreat thank you! 1. The purple is different in the back ground, 2. Arrow is larger, 3. There is more purple on the clock face, 4. More lightning on the top.
DeleteKJ! Love the covers, but voted for my favorite! Also have pre-ordered my copy! So excited for your new release! Congrats!
ReplyDeleteAliya
Voted(cover 1 had a huge impact on me as soon as I saw it)! This looks like an amazing series, adding it to my TBR list. Thank you for including me in the trip to the British Virgin Islands. I've always wanted to go. =)
ReplyDeleteMarci thank you so much for your comments! I'm leaning towards this cover too! I'm so glad it caught your attention! I really hope you get a chance to read it!
Deletelove cover #1 and loved the post
ReplyDeleteplease check some of the links to follow as they are not working
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by and thanks for the heads up. I checked all the links and they seemed fine. I hope whatever problems cleared up on their own.
DeleteLove your book covers. Voted for #1 for Shattering Time. The lightening bolt was more complete #2 was missing something.
ReplyDeleteAppreciate the input Julie! So glad you stopped by!
DeleteLove your book covers. Voted for #1 for Shattering Time. The lightening bolt was more complete #2 was missing something.
ReplyDeleteFantastic blog, K. J. Wishing you the best on this day!
ReplyDeleteB. Thank you so much! Hope you have a fantastic Monday!
DeleteLoved visiting today! Great post and interesting. I voted for number one and the 'hands' on the clock stand out much better and it simply looks better.
ReplyDeleteMary, so glad to have you visit the blog. I'm so grateful for your input on the covers!
DeleteGreat post - and your book covers are gorgeous
ReplyDeleteThank you so much D.E.! Sorry I'm late getting to this response. Appreciate the praise, it's so much work and feels good to know that you like it!
DeleteWhat a great post - and I love the covers! I voted for #1 - I love the more powerful lightning bolts all over and the bigger arrow. Great job! Glad I stopped by! :)
ReplyDeleteLynn, so glad you stopped by too! Appreciate your advice I will probably go with this version!
DeleteVery nice stop along the blog tour...put together well. And very attractive book covers and concept. Thanks for today!
ReplyDeleteRobert Kimbrell
Thank you so much Robert! Appreciate the support and thanks so much for stopping by!
DeleteHi KJ, really nice blog. Your book covers are eye catching, story lines intriguing and the titles easy to remember--that's important. Have a great tour day!!
ReplyDeleteMicki, so grateful for your input! Glad to have you stop by the blog!
DeleteKJ, re your cover options: I like the extra lightning around the title, electrifying the words a bit; but the big difference, I believe, is that the shorter arrow is too easily mistaken for a hand on the timepiece face while the long arrow is more clearly 3D and piercing the timepiece.
ReplyDeleteThanks for a fun blog visit, a good way to discover your work. I traveled through time a few days to look back and confirm that you will, indeed, have a very successful blog tour!
Haha, excellent! What a hoot you are! Thank you for the thoughtful comments! I'm so glad you stopped by!
DeleteEnjoyed the party today. Loved how you presented your books. I have become a follower and look forward to keeping up with you.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much Karen and Congrats on winning the signed copy of Stealing Time! So glad you stopped by!
DeleteWonderful post, KJ! I enjoyed the voting & the hunt for the four differences (found them all, by the way!) I like the first cover slightly more because of the larger arrow. Great cover! Hope you enjoy your party day!! ~Mar
ReplyDeleteThank you so much it was a lot of fun being a part of this!
DeleteHi K. J.! Love your covers. I voted for number 2 because the background color was more vibrant. Also the lightning across the clock is shattering time. In #1 the lightning is shattering everything on the page.LOL! I'd put the long arrow on pic #2. Have fun today!
ReplyDeleteExcellent advice I may just do that. Thank you Linda for stopping by.
DeleteCongrats! I like the more prominent arrow on Cover 1. Best of luck with your launch!
ReplyDeleteA.M. Thank you for your input and well wishes! I think I like that one better too.
DeleteGreat post, and I like the interactive parts. Best of luck on the tour today.
ReplyDeleteHi KJ, They are awesome covers. Thanks for the cocktails!Cheers.
ReplyDeleteCheers, it's been lovely having you over! :D
DeleteHi KJ....I love the covers and voted for #1. It had a tad more drama, but either is great. Your books look amazing...I'm adding them to my TO READ list.... Your site is lovely -- I hope it draws crowds!
ReplyDeleteGwen, thank you so much! So appreciate your input and I'm so grateful for your support!
DeleteHi KJ. This was a great stop and they had fun with the cover game. I like the second one better because it works better with my eyes, but both versions are great. I hope you're enjoying your party day.
ReplyDeleteKJ, good to know you. Congratulations for your new book. I wish you luck, and please enjoy your party. :)
ReplyDeleteLove your covers. I voted for cover number 2.
ReplyDeleteAwesome book covers, you can't go wrong with either one. I loved your beach! Good luck on your new release and "Stealing Time" still awaits me on my Kindle. I look forward to it. Have a great party day.
ReplyDeleteI love voting on things! lol! Your books sound great! I feel like I have the first one, but I have to go back and double check. If not, I'll be adding it to my TBR. :-)
ReplyDeleteVery interesting post - and I voted!
ReplyDeleteLoved voting on your covers and the blurb is very enticing! Great post!
ReplyDeleteLove your covers and Shattering Time sounds like a wonderful read. I have Stealing Time on my Kindle and need to add it to my TBR list. I purchase and then forget what I have until one of these parties. Hope you're having a fun party.
ReplyDeleteGreat post! I'm looking forward to reading your work and have added 'Stealing Time' to my TBR list! I voted for #1 in the 'Shattering Time' cover vote. Although having witnessed 3 cyclones in my life, my recollection of the color of the sky just before the storm made landfall was always of an eerie almost iridescent green tinge to the sky. 🐨
ReplyDeleteI love those covers! I love anything to due with the tropics, so this is at-home for me.
ReplyDeleteThe covers are nice. By the way, are there going to be anymore books after Shattering Time.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much Heidi! Yes I have two more books in the series Fracturing Time and I'm still hunting for the next name.
DeletePlease contact me! You won the ARC copy of Shattering Time! kjwatersauthor@gmail.com
Great site! Thanks so much for sharing and for the wonderful pictures. Hope you had a terrific RRBC blog day! - MikeL
ReplyDeleteLots of variety in your site. Good luck with your up-coming book.
ReplyDeleteA really fun filled and informative blog post! I voted on your book cover and look forward to seeing which one you choose. Have a great party today.
ReplyDeleteGreat party post, KJ! :-D I like the 1st cover best - more lightning always works for me! ;-)
ReplyDeleteWonderful post, KJ! Congratulations and best wishes for continued success with your upcoming release. Just voted too! Thanks for sharing this with us today. :)
ReplyDeleteK. J., what a fun stop! I do so hope you had a good time, it seems you went out of your way to make it entertaining for everyone! Now, let's share you on your books all over social media!
ReplyDeleteI couldn't load your page in the last 2 days. I finally got on! I've always loved your covers as I've shared them on Twitter. Time and clocks are great symbols for mystery and suspense. The first cover of the two choices above has a deeper color for the clock and more lightning strikes. I like that one best.
ReplyDeleteLovely covers. I like the larger hands best. Book sounds exciting. Good luck with this. Hope you're enjoying your blog tour.
ReplyDeleteYay. So glad you have book 2 out. I thoroughly enjoyed Stealing Time, so looking forward to the sequel. Congratulations KJ. What inspired the series?
ReplyDeleteSorry I missed your post on the prescribed day, but I got tied up. Glad I finally made it, but missed out on the great prizes. Love the time travel theme. More books on my TBR list. Love the covers. They caught my eye a while back. Great party and thanks for the snacks and drinks.
