Here is what readers are saying about Killing Time:

"I’ve always loved time travel, but I’ve never read one so real and emotionally intense!" 

Barbara M., Amazon Review

Killing Time is action-packed with time travel, hurricanes, and survival. The characters came alive on the page and had me loving or loathing them. Great read."

Lonnia, Goodreads Review

"If you like time travel, good friends and boyfriends (good and bad), as well as some meteorological hijinks, I think you'll really enjoy this series. It is unique.

K. Hagen, Amazon Review

"This was such a great book! Not only is it written very well, the plot and the characters were so engrossing! I loved Ronnie and Mike, cried over their drama, and was so pleased with the outcome (no spoilers!). I truly hated Jeffrey (I can't wait to see him get what's coming to him!)." 

Heather Smith, Amazon Review

Killing Time Launch Day!

 It's Launch Week! 

Killing Time on Amazon or where paperbacks are sold

Killing Time is out! This is the third book in the Stealing Time series and my favorite so far. I'm thrilled at how this one came together. I've been in these character's heads for so long (16 years for some) it's pretty easy to write about their misadventures. 

One of the most exciting parts of writing time travel is I can take my story anywhere and any time in the world. I wanted to bring this story to the Wild West in 1872, where America was bruised and battered from the Civil War, and in involved in a quickening struggle to reform as a nation. I found Jesse and Frank James hiding out in Sterling City, Texas just after the war. It seemed a rich time to throw Ronnie, my unsuspecting protagonist, and have her captured by Comanches in the process. Throw in a sprinkle of hurricane's devastation to the mix and voila, the recipe for a gritty, suspenseful story. 

What are reader's saying about Killing Time? 

This book is full of action, intrigue, envy, and unbelievable suspense! Time travel episodes that are so detailed, research that had to be intense. Characters you love, laugh with, cry with, and love to hate! Once I started reading this book, I was in hook, line, and sinker!

This is a brilliant read. Wonderful well-written plot and storyline that had me engaged from the start. Love the well fleshed out characters and found them believable. Great suspense and found myself second-guessing every thought I had continuously. Can't wait to read what the author brings out next.

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.

A devastating hurricane. A time travel betrayal. Will Ronnie survive the witch hunt or forever be lost in time?

Stealing Time is the first book in the best-selling "Breathtakingly original" time travel series that will keep you on the edge of your seat.

As Hurricane Charley churns a path of destruction towards Orlando, Florida, Ronnie Andrews scrambles to prepare for the storm and seeks shelter at her boyfriend’s weather lab. What she finds there is more terrifying than Mother Nature's destruction.

During the peak of the hurricane, Ronnie is hurtled back in time to eighteenth-century London where she is caught in a web of superstition, deception, and lies in a life and death struggle to return to her own time.

Her best friend Steph is thrust into the middle of the hurricane, where it quickly turns into a living nightmare as she is faced with losing everything.

Stealing Time is the first book in the “breathtakingly original” Stealing Time Series of time travel wrapped in a hurricane. If you like strong-willed modern women and gripping stories that transport you back in time, then you’ll love KJ Water's Books.

Don’t miss the next book in the series, Shattering Time, available now, set during Hurricane Frances tossing Ronnie back to the Lost Colony of Roanoke Island in a fight for her life and for those facing the mysterious disappearance of our first colony in America.

Killing Time - Book 3 in the Stealing Time series will be published on September 27, 2021.

Reviews
“The book is filled with nail-biting tension and kept me reading well into the night to find out what happened.” Diane Rapp, Amazon Reviewer.

“Amid witch hunts, leering men, and a frightening fate, Ronnie finds love and hope.” Rosemary McFarland, Amazon Reviewer.

“K J Waters has struck the perfect balance of science fiction, historical fact thriller with a wonderful sense of humor and even a little romance.” Scott McLean, Amazon Reviewer.

“I highly recommend this well-written story to anyone who loves a thriller, historical fiction or romanticizes the past. Believe me when I say we have come much farther than you may think.” 5x Space Cadette, Amazon Reviewer.

"I was immediately sucked into the suspenseful storm of this story. I liked the fact that there were two simultaneous storylines running, one following Ronnie and the other following Steph. Just as I began to become too nervous for Ronnie, I was allowed a "break" by checking in on Steph. Then things would start to get pretty intense with her, and we'd flip back to Ronnie. I also really appreciated the amount of research Ms. Waters put into this project. Her depiction of the 18th century was very believable (reminding us just how lucky we are to live in modern times), as was the reality of riding out a major hurricane."  Melissa Knight, Amazon Reviewer.

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.
