Dear Nancy Ann,

My father got very sick, so he was not able to write to you. No one will tell me what it is. They say they don’t know. I think he may be dying.

 

He quit his job and Mama said that was stupid. But then he got sick and now he has disappeared. He is not in the hospital. Chris and Beth both checked. Even Mama says she doesn’t know where he is.

 

Then a funny thing happened. A door just appeared one day in the middle of the living room. I think it is made of gold. I can walk all the way around it. The back side is just flat and gold, but the front is a door except it doesn’t go anywhere. It is locked. Davey thought it was cool until Chris said monsters were going to come out of it in the middle of the night. Davey likes to sleep with the light on. I don’t care. Beth and I think that maybe my Dad is behind the door. I wish it wasn’t locked.

 

I am glad it is the beginning of summer vacation. I don’t know if I am going to like the fourth grade and the intermediate school. I wish we could visit you like Dad wanted, but it doesn’t look like things will work out for this summer. I wish my Dad was here.

 

Your Best Friend

James

If you have read the Avalon stories that have appeared regularly on this blog, seasons one to nine, you might recall that much of the trouble the travelers faced was the result of a demon-goddess who once invaded Avalon and used the Heart of Time to try and change history. The Golden Door is that story.

The Kairos is deathly ill. Avalon is slowly falling apart. History and time itself is threatened, and the four children of the Kairos, Beth, Christopher, David, and James are the only hope of overcoming the demonized goddess and saving the Heart of Time.

If you have not read the Avalon stories, they are all available at your favorite online retailer.

You might begin with the prequel Invasion of Memories. The Pilot Episode is now included in one version of Season One, Travelers. Both are available in ebook or trade paperback as you may prefer.

Seasons 1, 2, and 3, with 13 episodes in each book, brings the Travelers from Avalon through the days of legend. This romp through time, history, and myth begins at the fabled Tower of Babel and moves from one time zone to the next where the travelers have to deal with all sorts of spiritual and supernatural beings, creatures, monsters, and demons as well as ancient aliens.

Seasons 4, 5, and 6 brings the travelers into the days of ancient empires. Some travelers are lost in the struggle. Some new people lost in time are added to the group as the only chance to get back home alive. The spiritual beings and ancient aliens never go away and the travelers discover that some can follow them from time zone to time zone, and are now hunting them.

Seasons 7, 8, and 9 brings the travelers into the common era and face to face with the worst monsters of all — the human monsters. This last of the three trilogies of the series are being formatted and covers are being finalized even as this brief promo is being written. Coming to an online retailer near you soon. Look for them.
