THE GUARDIAN AWAITS: FATA MORGANA
AUTHOR: Pamela Ackerson
GENRE: Time Travel/Suspense
Undercover agent, Colin Chase Rand had seen it all, or thought he’d had.
Cruising down the road, rocking to the radio, Colin came across an ethereal phenomenon, the Fata Morgana. It was no mere illusion. The shimmering surreal glow enveloped him, pulling him through a portal, setting his course to a different era and defying all explanations of reality.
Nothing
could’ve prepared him for the next leg of his journey, a journey that would
take him to a deceptively quiet countryside in Genoa City, 1935, where a
sinister serial killer was lying in wait.

Excerpt
Three:
He headed next door to the restaurant, grabbed a meal to go,
and some Danish for his breakfast. The next morning, after he toured the House
on the Rock, Colin headed southeast. Colin put it in auto-drive, looked at his
itinerary, and played around on the radio. Preferring side roads instead of
busy highways, he meandered through the countryside lost in his thoughts.
The long road had multiple mirages. The weather had been
wacky lately, most likely causing all the mirages. He always thought they were
like chasing a rainbow. No matter how close a person gets to it, it was always
just beyond their reach. He recalled a long-ago memory with his mother.
She’d taken his hand. “Look. Colin. The end of the rainbow
is right in our backyard. Watch what happens as we move closer.”
He’ll never forget that day. It withdrew from them as they
moved toward it, but when they walked back to the house, they turned to look
again. He expected it to be gone. Colin stood in awe. The rainbow glistened and
beckoned to him.
Passing through Genoa City, a few miles from the Wisconsin
and Illinois border, a stunning illusion of a mirage was on the road in front
of him. The lights and colors were bending upward. The air was shimmering,
similar to the northern lights. He stared, mesmerized by the sight.
The closer he got, the bigger it appeared. The road lifted
upward, reaching skyward, creating an impression that the countryside was
floating.
There were horses and people hovering in the air. He wanted
to reach his hand out and pet the horses.
As he drove closer to the phenomenon, the more it wavered.
Within seconds it morphed from within his reach to beyond the horizon and then
back again. It was enchanting.
“Was it King Arthur’s sister, Morgan? Is she the one that
had magical powers and could pull castles into thin air?”
Siri answered him, Morgan le Fay was King Arthur’s sister
who lured sailors to their deaths by summoning visions in the sky. She created
large objects to flow upward confusing the sailors, prompting claims of
sighting the Flying Dutchman. A tale among the sailors, the ghost ship was
cursed to sail the seas for eternity.
Colin held the steering wheel, watching as he entered the
mirage. “Fata Morgana.”

What is your favorite space to do your writing?
Looks like a good read
Sorry, it wouldn't let me answer yesterday for some reason. I use an office area as a writing space. I've got a comfy couch or my desk. As long as I have coffee or tea next to me, I'm good to go. But, sometimes, I love to go into the screen room and enjoy the fantastic Florida weather and just create away!
Thank you very much! I hope you love it.
Thanks for such an insight response and I wish you much success in the coming months! I too enjoy the sunny weather of FL and located in the Tampa Bay area!
Fantastic. Thank you. I'm across the way at the Space Coast. The rockets can be seen from our backyard and the sound, oh, the awesome sound of those rockets! The night launches. So beautiful!
I like time travel stories, and it is rather refreshing to have the past visited being within the past 100 years.
Aren't time travel stories fantastic. They can take you to a whole new world!
How do you stay connected to your creativity when self doubt creeps in?
Great blurb.
If your main character came to life for one day, what would you do together?
To the beach, the best one around that the locals go to, Playa Linda!
Sounds like such an exciting time travel read!! Looking forward to checking this book out!!
