Just found out that my short story Tales from the Wondrous Attic was in the top 10 in the Preditors and Editors Readers Poll! Not bad for...

Chronos Agent Kade Thalen jumps two centuries forward on what should’ve been a simple mission: retrieve a missing time beacon. Instead, he lands on a frozen hellscape where the beacon is fused to the armored hide of a monstrous alien beast.
Before he can make a move, his ship is blasted out of the sky by Commander Mia Talwyn, the isolated guardian of a forgotten listening post. She doesn’t trust strangers. She definitely doesn’t trust time‑lost ones who ignore her hails.
Stranded and injured, Kade is forced to face Mia — and hide the truth about who he is. But when he realizes they serve the same military separated by hundreds of years, the mission becomes clearer… and the connection between them becomes impossible to ignore.
Then the planet wakes up.
A dormant alien race stirs beneath the outpost, forcing Kade and Mia into a fight for survival that burns into a single night neither expected. With the beacon finally in hand, Kade makes the brutal choice to return home — only to find Earth’s solar system destroyed by an unknown enemy.
Now, with no home left and nowhere safe to run, Kade must decide what to do- finish the mission… or find his way back to the one woman who made him want more than duty.
Only the man from yesterday can face what comes next.
