Publisher's Synopsis
BOOK #4 FOREVER LOVE Kelly and Austin are left alone while everyone else is on vacation trips with their families. They celebrate the Fourth of July together and grow closer than ever. But as soon as Scott and Zoey return, the teens take off on an excursion to the past to visit the historic Stanley Hotel. Their goal is to save a little girl named Emma from a kidnapper, but as they celebrate another Fourth of July, Kelly is swept away by her first real kiss. The teens experience a new and hard lifestyle, all the while hoping to see if the stories about ghosts are true. They meet a lot of interesting people, even some very famous ones, but everyone seems normal. As they face their first defeat, they are caught by surprise when the same danger that takes Emma also threatens the teens when one of their own is captured in a killer's web. Will they be able to save Emma? Or will they join her as permanent guests in the ghostly halls of The Stanley Hotel? You don't have to believe in ghosts...until you meet one. The TIME SHIFTERS series has won numerous awards and is written by USA Today and New York Times Best Selling Author Kathy Clark under the pen name of Bob Kat. Praise for Forever Love "The four teenagers you follow aren't caught up in much interpersonal drama. Frankly it doesn't sound substantially different from the intergroup issues that 20-somethings have. Right now it's still summer vacation so there isn't much coverage of school; it's more four young adults working at growing up a little quicker than normal with a serious responsibility thrust on their shoulders. They are all good people with typical flaws-great characters to stand behind and cheer for. There are love triangles, squares, etc. that are normal for a YA book (or, let's face it, books for any age group), but it's not a predominant part of the story."HeatherCarol Fox "The bulk of the story takes place in 1911, when the four teens of the story travel pack in time to the Stanley Hotel to save a 4-year-old girl named Emma from going missing. In case you are not familiar with the Stanley, it has a long been believed to be haunted and has been used as a location in various fictional stories such as Stephen King's The Shining. The story quickly becomes more complicated, and the teens find that saving Emma may be more complicated than they could ever have imagined."Elizabeth S The TIME SHIFTERS series has won numerous awards and is written by USA Today and New York Times Best Selling Author Kathy Clark under the pen name of Bob Kat. Praise for Runaway Love "The characters are the real crowning glory of the book. All vastly different, they are vividly portrayed in such a way that they really come to life in the imagination. You quickly come to recognise their various traits and what makes them happy, sad, or fearful. It is impossible not to care about each character and this really helps to draw the reader into the story. Even characters with a small supporting role feel real and fully fleshed out. The author has a real talent for characterisation. Adult readers will find themselves transported back to their high school years - experiencing again the joys of trials of first love, crushes, awkward self-consciousness, pride in achievements, dreams of the future, and flourishing new friendships that they might have thought they left behind long ago. It is so easy to empathise with the characters and they don't seem at all simple or childish, despite their youth." J Corcoran "This book brought back wonderful memories of going to the circus as a child. I loved the author's detailed descriptions of the drudgery and danger of every day circus life. It balanced my view of how it was not all fun and games. The teens encountered life threatening events while changing the lives of several characters." P Watts
