“Best Sci-Fi Love Story of the Year”
Remember How It Feels to Fall in Love?
Race against the clock through a dystopian nightmare. Climb naked into an untested time machine (carrying only a seashell and a promise). Wake up twenty years younger on a tropical beach, buck naked and mortally wounded, with your heart in your throat.
This is a journey of love, loss, and redemption that will make your pulse gallop and your palms sweat, have you laughing out loud through your tears, and leave you flush with the sublime pleasure of falling in love.

Lost Time
July 1st 2016 by Rocky Mountain Press
If someone took everything you live for, how far would you go to get it back?
When a faulty time machine deposits Diego at the top of a pine tree, he knows he's in the wrong place--but has no idea he's in the wrong time. Naked and shivering in the chilly mountain air, he attempts to climb down, but slips, whacks his head, and falls into oblivion.
He wakes up inside a darkened room, crippled and disheartened, and must come to grips with the realization that he is marooned in a bleak alternate future. In this universe, what remains of the human race is trapped inside a handful of aging biodomes. With his mission failed, his world destroyed, and the one woman he loves, dead, he can find no reason to go on living.
But Lani, the emotionally scarred doctor who finds him, refuses to let him die, and as Diego heals, their relationship becomes... complicated. He struggles to let go of the past but is unable to get Isabel out of his head--or his heart. Just when it seems he may be able to find some measure of happiness in a world teetering on the edge of extinction...
Another note arrives from the future: Isabel is alive--but not for long...
Dead Time
April 15th 2017 by Rocky Mountain Press
If someone took everything you live for, how far would you go to get it back?
From award-winning author D. L. ORTON comes book three in the Between Two Evils series...
Shannon fights to stay alive inside a rogue biodome and discovers something totally unexpected... Peter. Lani is forced into the role of the reluctant heroine but rediscovers her street-kid mojo and sets out to find everything she's lost. Diego receives another dirty sock (and a note) from the poorly aimed fireball express: "The window between universes is closing." If Diego has any hope of getting back to Iz, he must get to the Magic Kingdom and power up the time machine before it's too late.
What could possibly go wrong?
Goodreads│Amazon
In my mind, Isabel and Diego are ordinary people thrown into extraordinary circumstances.
Women today have more life choices than ever before (as do men!) Marriage? Career? Motherhood? If a woman chooses to have children, there are even more hard decisions: stay-at-home, work part-time, pay for a nanny, find daycare, support a stay-at-home spouse?
Having options is good, but here's the rub: At least in my universe, it's NOT possible to "have it all." Time spent building a career is time away from children and spouse, and years spent raising the sort of children you’re proud of, equals lost opportunities for promotions and raises at work. No one wants to choose between a sick child and an important interview, but anyone who's tried to balance work and family has had to do just that. There's no escaping the "what if I could go back and do things differently" self-doubts—at least not for me.
Isabel made different life choices than I did, but she struggles with the same questions, the same worries, the same hopes and dreams. I think we are all our own worst enemies. Isabel's worst enemy just happens to be a bit more tangible: a younger version of herself.
Diego is NOT a rich, powerful, manipulative Alpha with a helicopter and a riding crop, nor is he a gorgeous, super-human vampire who sparkles in the sun. Nevertheless, his love for Isabel is a driving force in his life, and when required, he finds the strength to do amazing things.
Look around you, the world is full of ordinary people who step up and do heroic things when disaster strikes.
What's the moral of the story? Don't take the ones you love for granted. They could disappear at any moment—and time machines are pretty hard to come by. Put your arms around someone you care about and just enjoy the moment. The journey is the reward.
