TIME SNATCHED INTO THE PAST
"Just spent a wonderful week spending time with some wildly colorful, delightfully eccentric, truly fascinating characters… and miss them already. I have never read anything like this. The language is bright and delicious. The characters are unique and, at the same time, very real. Blew me away. A true original." —Amazon verified 5-Star review
When Tomma Bedlam is Time-Snatched from an Oregon rock club in the middle of zir wildest performance ever, ze hardly expected to land in the middle of a pentagram scrawled on the floor of a seventeenth-century English country house! As Tomma’s sensational disappearance—and sudden reappeareance—goes viral on social media, life becomes immeasurably complicated and far too public for both Hermits and their Elven mentors. So much for settling down to a quiet life of queer magic in a secluded rural area just outside of Eugene!
In short order, Hermitville residents endure visits from federal agents seeking the infamous, mind-manipulating Guru Gizmo; hold a madcap wedding officiated by a Norse god; and continue to work through various mid-life crises; all while struggling to eradicate a farmhouse infestation of pesky “proto-Elsewherians.” And that’s just for starters!
Past and present collide in The Perilous Past, the fourth book in the series, as the origins of The Guild of Ornamental Hermits are revealed during the tragic witch persecutions of the seventeenth century, while a new villainess rips through Time’s fabric to destroy the Hermits and anyone else suspected of witchcraft and magical arts.
Will Tomma, Babe, Oyster and the rest of the human Hermits level up their magical skills in time to help Loki and the Elves contain the chaos? Or will their adversaries in both centuries triumph at last? Only Time will tell, unless it snatches Tomma one last time.
"This book grabbed me from the beginning and never let go. The plot was well thought out, the story moved along and the characters were engaging. I'm looking forward to the next one." —Goodreads 5-Star Review
