What Readers are Saying about Killing Time!

Paul Rygiel

5.0 out of 5 stars Killing Time is my favorite contemporary novel!

Reviewed in the United States on November 3, 2021

Killing Time is the pièce de résistance of KJ Waters’ captivating trilogy of time travel, taking the reader
on a wild ride through intrigue, suspense, romance, betrayal, and the most savage, destructive forces
of nature during Hurricane Jeanne.

The author masterfully captures powerful, but tortured and conflicted emotions the protagonist Ronnie 

has for Mike, who is far more than her boss and a budding love interest, as there seems to be an 

inexplicable connection between them that transcends space, time, and death itself. Despite his 

questionable, dark past, the raw sexual tension between them is undeniable. Circumstance thrusts 

them together and the author injects adrenaline into your veins as Ronnie and Mike struggle through 

the daunting task of surviving the storm, complicated by the mental and physical damage resulting 

from time travel and their attempt to elude the nefarious entity intent on causing them harm. 

KJ Waters adeptly balances the rich and diverse characters and subplots involving Ronnie’s father’s 

strange death; her arrogant genius ex-boyfriend Jeffrey who is being investigated by federal authorities 

for  possible involvement in an experiment that may affect national security; and the waves of danger 

encountered in Jessie James’ old west, which was clearly thoroughly researched. The mystery begins

to unravel as the amalgam of physics and metaphysics, the natural and supernatural, and time and space
is more clearly revealed while Ronnie’s fiercely loyal friends work to shield her from harm. There is not 

a superfluous passage in this gripping book. 

Killing Time works as a stand-alone that does well in transitioning from KJ Waters’ first two books, 

Stealing Time, and Shattering Time. After reading her first two books she became my favorite 

contemporary author, and Killing Time is even better than her first two gems. KJ Waters
is a phenomenon, and this series belongs on the big screen!

Time Travel Through the Eye of a Hurricane

The Strongest Hurricane in Decades Takes Aim at Florida. 

Will Ronnie Escape its Wrath or be Lost in Time Forever?

Ronnie Andrews is lucky to be alive after a time travel glitch nearly took her life during Hurricane Frances. When Hurricane Ivan, one of the strongest storms in decades, sets its sights on Florida, Ronnie jumps at the chance to join Mike, her mysterious new boss, on a business trip to Puerto Rico,

Sparks fly, but when a newspaper article surfaces with horrific pictures of a woman who may have died at Mike's hands, Ronnie regrets the decision. Before she can confront Mike about what she knows, Hurricane Jeanne forms off the coast, trapping them on the island. Her doctors warned that another time-travel-induced illness may kill her. Mike may be her only salvation.

The storm strikes and Ronnie time travels to Texas in 1872 where she is kidnapped by Comanches. A rescue party saves her life led by Jesse and Frank James, hiding under assumed names.

Will Ronnie find a way to make the time-traveling episodes stop before the dangers of the past, and the damage from the journey destroy her?

Early readers are already loving the book. Here is what they are saying! 

"The first 10 chapters were so exciting! I've enjoyed this series so much and couldn't believe I was allowed to read this large excerpt. You did a great job with filling out the characters' personalities. [Boo, hiss, Jeffrey!] The storyline is so original yet the way you've written it makes the events sound completely believable. I am so looking forward to reading the rest of the book! Thank you so much for a great read." Kathy H. ARC Reader

"Absolutely, I LOVED the first two books. Can't believe a boyfriend would do this to his girlfriend so can't wait to see how that all plays out. Jeffrey should get sent back in time, see how he likes it. Ha!

Can't wait!" Kathryn R. ARC Reader.

Goodbye March Madness -- Welcome April Fool's!

Goodbye March Madness -- Hello April Fool's

Welcome to my blog. I hope in this unusual time you are able to find some good in your current situation. I've made a humorous video sharing the top ten reasons I'm not getting anything done. You can see that below.

As a quick introduction, I'm KJ Waters and an author of breathtakingly original time travel fiction, and an author consultant helping writers one book at a time.

Currently, I'm writing the third book in my time travel series, Killing Time and just started a new women's fiction series. This is an excerpt from my latest newsletter that I wanted to share with you as a teaser of what I like to share over there. If you'd like to sign up to enter my monthly contests to win gift cards and books please sign up here.

Save the World -- Wash Your Hands! 

Let's make a pact. I promise to not freak out if you do too. Pinky swear you will take care of yourself by walking outside and focus on the beauty of spring, playing solitaire on your iPad (I just started this and it's actually fun!), or call your bestie and tell him/her how much s/he means to you.

You can take small moments in your day and let yourself get lost in a good book, a favorite show on TV, playing Scrabble, kicking zombie's asses, anything that keeps your mind off the scary things going on out there. Find something that just a week ago you didn't have time for, something you've been wanting to tackle for months.

I promise to be calm (ish) and enjoy the little joyful things. My family needs me at my best and a stressed me doesn't do that. Promise me that you will keep your cool.

Take charge of your health and happiness by focusing on one small thing that brings you joy. Even for just a few minutes. It will offer you a respite. Find ways to be grateful for what you have, to focus on the good things that you can control.

I hope you and your family stay safe during this unprecedented time. I will be sending you happy thoughts, healthy prayers, and lots of unconditional love. We are all in this together!

~KJ

Top Ten Reasons I'm Not Getting Anything Done

Here is the latest video I made to make the best of the current situation. Top Ten Reasons I'm Not Getting Anything Done. 

Yeah, I'm a goof but I'm also well suited for these times. I'm a writer and already spent a ridiculous amount of time at home hiding in my office. But now, so is my entire family of six, and that is killing my productivity. 

Great little blessings are in there as well, like seeing my college son every day when he should be away at college and having special moments where we all play games together. Even my teen-aged daughter is forced ... ah ... gets to spend time with us now. 

Also, I wanted to extend my March Newsletter contest to give you a sample of what I do each month over there. Here is the scoop.

Enter to Win a $10 Amazon Card God Winks March Contest Sometimes turmoil brings unexpected blessings in your life. This month's contest is all about those little God winks as my late sister-in-law called them.  Share your unexpected God wink by responding to this link to enter to win a $10 Amazon card. If you already entered on my newsletter you can enter for a second try at a $10 Amazon card here. I will choose winners on April 7, 2020.  My surprise blessing happened three weeks ago when my son's college shut down for the rest of the semester. He was already home on spring break from his school in New York 27 hours away. You can imagine my unending joy finding out we could keep him for the next 2 months and possibly longer depending on what happens this summer. Especially having him home where I can care for him during this crazy time.  That is exactly the type of unexpected blessing I want to celebrate. I know our lives are shuffled up right now, but tell me what cards you were dealt with some unexpected God wink.  My Books are all available for free on Kindle Unlimited. #KU If you need a break, my books will sweep you away in a hurricane.
