Welcome to Unwritten's February blog event! Of course, this is the month of love, so I wanted to celebrate that theme as I've done in year's past. But this year, I've decided to add a scientific spin to it. All month long, talented authors from several genres will write about some aspect of love from their books as it relates to science. It could be social, psychological, biological, or anything in between. Our blog event is sponsored by "HMC by Kate", a fabulous independent jewelry crafter. Kate's giving away one of her very beautiful necklaces that I think fits our theme perfectly. She's also offering everyone who stops in a 10% discount on any item from her Etsy store. Be sure to enter the giveaway at the end of this post and check out her lovely offerings! Without further ado, please welcome our guest author:
Loves, Myths, and
Monsters-
11 urban and mythical tales entwined within the human world
by JoAnne Myers
Living in the thirtieth
century as my hero Professor Alexander Gabry, from “For the Love of Ginnie”, did, was a fascinating time. Science had
evolved to the point of no more hunger, or poverty. No wars, or disease. The
world was almost perfect…except, most citizens, and mainly females were
sterile, do the previous World War 3.
Thanks to the new and experimental time serum Alexander was credited
for, the newly widowed genius could not only save a young woman’s life, but
find love again. Traveling back to the Civil War was a challenge and possible a
death sentence, Alexander was willing to take in the name of love and
science. There was no guarantee the
serum would work as it was designed to.
One could become lost in Oblivion.
His excitement of knowing
whether or not the serum worked and saving the raven-haired beauty Ginnie Wade,
had consumed Alexander. Having the natural curiosity as did most scientists,
Alexander took the fateful leap.
Trial and error was
everywhere in 1862. Alexander had come
unprepared for the hardships of the times.
In the thirtieth century, robots did almost everything for their human
owners. Now, alone and without correct currency or clothing, or weapons or
coordinates in locating Ginnie, Alexander was a babe amongst wolves. He had only his wits to keep him alive.
Between the Confederate and Union solders, runaway slaves, bandits, hostile
Indians, and being shanghaied, Alexander was in the dark of who to trust. His only hope was to find Ginnie quickly and
return to his time with her. A feat easier said then done, since cars were
obsolete then. Riding on horseback for days in unknown territory, seemed to
take forever. Locating his beloved turned into a roller coaster ride of danger,
betrayals, death, and disappointments.
If you enjoy action and
adventure, romance and heartbreak, you will love “For the Love of Ginnie”.
