Time
Travelers: The Great Magician
a science fiction trilogy
adventure Time
Travelers: The Great Magician, Time
Travelers: Zone One, and
Time Travelers: Destiny SYNOPSIS-OVERVIEW In Chicago 2004, eccentric scientist,
Dr. Danville Chandler, holds a dinner party where he demonstrates his latest
invention, which is his MIM machine that sends earth sounds into outer space
across the universe. The nine diverse
dinner guests thoroughly enjoy transmitting their favorite songs to far away
galaxies to be heard by alien beings.
But something goes wrong. Dr.
Chandler is also working on another invention, a time travel machine, which
becomes activated. A fuchsia colored glowing light fills the room, and Dr.
Chandler and his guests are transported through a portal to another time and
place. They time travel to the past. The ten people from the dinner party
are astonished as they find themselves outside on a remote road near London
in old England 1692. The time
travelers include: Grant Shields, who
is a handsome former Air Force pilot, martial arts expert and computer
specialist, age 34. Grant’s best friend, Dexter Fuller, is an attractive
African-American detective who is also a former Air Force pilot and martial
arts expert. Three scientists are among
them: Dr. Chandler, Dr. Haku who is Dr. Chandler’s Japanese assistant, a
physicist; and a German mathematician, Dr. Hans Oberhof. Two women are among the time
travelers: Meg Hollins is a pretty and
elegant Chicago socialite who breaks hearts throughout time and space of very
interesting men she meets time traveling; and Dexter’s girlfriend, Lisa
Wells, is a lovely African-American history professor. Also with them are Bill Karr, a square
conservative lawyer, and Prescott E. Hampton, an investment broker who is
obsessed with money and tries to earn money during their time travel journeys
which gets them all in trouble. One
uninvited guest came to the house the night of the dinner party, Dr.
Chandler’s wild and irresponsible nephew, Neave, age 21, who dropped by to
borrow money, but also entered the portal that transported them all to the
past. When they find a portal that returns
them to 2004, they arrive at a mysterious land beneath the ocean,
Atlantis. In Atlantis, the time
travelers meet Karen Schaffer, a pretty young woman from Philadelphia whose
father, a scientist, moved to Atlantis 14 years ago with his family. Now
Karen’s parents are dead, she is stranded in Atlantis and joins with the time
travelers to find a way to the surface of earth, which is not easy to
accomplish. Grant and Karen fall in
love. In each place they journey traveling
through time, the time travelers must figure out how they can survive, obtain
food and shelter, and, foremost, how they can find a portal that will take them
back home. The time travelers suffer
tremendous anguish and hardships, which are complicated by their unwise
decisions. And they are often tricked
by people who direct them to portals that take them not to where they want to
go. In Time Travelers: Magic Portals, the time travelers meet an evil
medieval astronomer in old England. In
Atlantis, they encounter the wicked Great Magician of Atlantis, a devious
submarine captain who wants to kill them, and a tricky Native American,
Pocon. In Atlantis, Grant slays the
giant two-headed dragon. In the book
is also a powerfully awesome master time traveler from the future, year 3500,
who travels to 2004. This novel weaves the major elements
of the supernatural into an intriguing story: magic, telepathy, remote
viewing on a magic table, contact with other planets and galaxies, UFOs, a
secret government black project, a cave passageway from earth’s surface down
to Atlantis, giant monstrous beasts, experts on time travel, martial arts,
and diverse portals. A few lucky time travelers find
portals and get back home early in their journeys; and at first they enjoy
some experiences of fun and adventure during time travel. In old England, Meg
attends a ball with a nobleman, but she is suspected of being a French spy
and flees from the ball like Cinderella.
Mad scientist Dr. Chandler loves the experience of witnessing time
travel, and doesn’t care when they return home. Grant is the natural leader of the time
travelers, keeping them focused on getting home.
Time Travelers: The Great
Magician is book one of a science fiction
trilogy. The author has written
screenplays for all three books. In
the second book-screenplay, Time Travelers: Zone One, they journey to
the future, year 3500. The time travelers are at a place called Zone One,
which is a totalitarian society where the rulers live in Satellite City, a
gigantic satellite in outer space from which they oppressively rule over the
masses down on earth. In Zone One, the time travelers are devastated. In the
third book-screenplay for this science fiction trilogy, Time Travelers:
Destiny, the time travelers go to Mars and find a highly advanced society
there, and are there when Earth attacks Mars in a great war. * * * * P
R E S S R E L E A S E NEW BOOK: Time Travelers: The Great Magician a science fiction novel by Elaine North Chicago—May
18, 2008—Time Travelers: The Great Magician is a science fiction novel
by Elaine North that weaves all the major elements of the supernatural into
an intriguing story. This novel includes remote viewing, magic, telepathy,
transmitting earth music to other galaxies, a cave passageway from earth’s
surface down to Atlantis, martial arts, portals, and experts on time travel. The time travel story begins in
Chicago 2004. Eccentric scientist, Dr. Danville Chandler, holds a dinner
party where he demonstrates his latest invention, his MIM machine, which
transmits earth sounds to outer space to other planets and galaxies across
the universe. Dr. Chandler’s nine
diverse dinner guests thoroughly enjoy sending their favorite songs –
classical, jazz and popular tunes - into outer space to be heard by alien
beings in far away galaxies. But
something goes wrong. Dr. Chandler has
also invented a time travel machine, and the MIM sound machine activates the
time travel machine. A fuchsia colored
glowing mist fills the room, and Dr. Chandler and his guests are transported
through a portal to another time and place. They time travel to the past. The time travelers journey to old England
1692. After their initial shock about being here, the time travelers enjoy
merry old England. The author depicted 17th century England colorfully by
blending all major aspects of that culture into the story, including: a
playhouse, royalty, a pub, Oxford, a little cottage where the time travelers
live, as well as orphans running through the street. From old England, the time travelers
journey to Atlantis 2004. Elaine North’s
version of Atlantis is most believable. It is extraordinary how the author
describes a whole setting and rich society for the land below the ocean,
which includes a strange beach down there that covers with water at night.
Also well depicted are the flamboyant temple and powerful magic of the Great
Magician in Atlantis. Intriguing characters enrich this
science fiction novel. The time travelers include two former Air Force pilots
that are age 34, three scientists, two women, a rich investor, a square
conservative lawyer, and a wild and irresponsible young man, age 21. The time
travelers have diverse ethnicities with a Japanese, a European, an African
American couple, and six white Americans.
Dr. Danville Chandler is obsessed
with his theory on time travel. He
marvels at the thought of being on a journey to another time and place. For Danville, these time travel journeys
are all an experiment for his scientific research and inquiry. Yet, the other
time travelers feel quite anguished and lost, and often fear the threat of
gloom and doom, about being on these time travel journeys. The main character
in Time Travelers is Grant Shields, a notably handsome computer
specialist and former Air Force pilot.
Grant is a sensitive and intelligent man, who exhibits natural
leadership skills as he makes major decisions for the time travelers about
how they will proceed and survive during their journeys to other times. Grant’s best friend, Dexter Fuller, is an
attractive African-American detective who is also a former Air Force pilot. Meg Hollins is a pretty and elegant Chicago
socialite who was fascinated with topics about the supernatural, until she
experiences it. Meg breaks hearts throughout time and space among the very
interesting men that she meets time traveling. Prescott is a rich investor among the time
travelers, who is obsessed with money, makes attempts to earn money at the
places they travel, and gets the time travelers in trouble. In fact, several
of the time travelers cause troubles for them all by doing some out right
stupid things. Danville’s nephew,
Neave, who stopped by the house that night to borrow money, also entered the
portal time traveling with them all.
Neave seeks out women as they time travel and is the funny guy in the
group. Both Grant and Dexter are
experts at martial arts, which is good for helping them out of scraps. There are some suspenseful marital arts
confrontations in the novel. At each place they journey traveling
through time, the time travelers must figure out how they are going to
survive there and, of course, how they can get back to 2004. To return to 2004, they must find a portal
that will take them there. Elaine
North presents a definition for portals: “Portals are supernatural locations
at certain places on earth, mostly in caves and on mountains. When someone
enters a portal location, they time travel to the past, the future, or to a
planet in another galaxy.” But the time travelers are often tricked by people
who direct them to portals that take them not where they want to go. On their time travel adventures, they meet
an evil medieval astronomer in old England. They encounter the wicked and
sadistic Great Magician of Atlantis.
And they are misled by the deceptive Native American, Pocon, who
visits Atlantis from the surface of earth.
The time travelers also meet a powerfully awesome master time traveler
from the future who travels to 2004. Traveling
through time to strange lands is not easy.
The time travelers suffer hardships and anguish as they long to get
back home. At first there are some
experiences of fun and adventure for the time travelers in old England 1692,
then they witness the wonders of Atlantis, the land lost under the
ocean. But when they arrive in year
3500 at Zone One, the time travelers squat in an abandoned building in the
Old City of Zone One, hiding. They are in constant fear here. The time travelers are devastated in Zone
One. * * *SYNOPSIS-OVERVIEW The
Historic Cowboy Trilogy,
by Elaine North “ADVENTURES
OF NEBRASKA WADE,” “TRAVELS
IN THE WESTERN TERRITORIES,” and
“A LADY IN THE WEST” The Nebraska Wade trilogy is a black cowboy adventure based on historical background
with a great love story. It is the
story of Nebraska Wade, an elegant black dressmaker, who travels throughout
the Wild West searching for her husband.
This cowboy story is written in three volumes, a trilogy, which
include: ADVENTURES OF NEBRASKA WADE, TRAVELS IN THE WESTERN TERRITORIES, and
A LADY IN THE WEST. The trilogy depicts dynamic and highly successful free
black people in the western territories in the 19th century. The novels span
from 1854 to 1895. Nebraska,
who is known as Braska, evolves from an innocent girl on the plains to a
sophisticated woman in the city in the trilogy. In “Adventures of Nebraska Wade,” Book
One of the cowboy trilogy, Braska grows up on the plains raised by her
grandfather, a runaway slave, who is a fur trapper that teaches her a world
of wisdom. When Braska comes of age,
she moves to Lincoln and becomes involved with her ruthless cowgirl cousin,
Sally Ann, selling whiskey to the indians.
In Lincoln she meets Henry Holmes, an intelligent and sensitive man,
who is an adventurer that negotiates treaties with the indians for the white
man. They get married and enjoy
adventure together traveling throughout the Wild West. This novel includes outlaws, lawmen,
cavalrymen, preachers, saloon women, Civil War soldiers, a phony nobleman,
and dudes from back East. In Book Two of the trilogy, “Travels in
the Western Territories,” during the Trail of Tears, Braska becomes lost from
Henry, and spends the rest of her life searching for him. Trying to get to Denver, Braska becomes
lost in the wilderness with some indians and almost dies. She encounters black intellectuals who
address the race crisis in America after emancipation, and meets a handsome
rascally trickster black cowboy, one of the fastest guns in Arizona
Territory. Nebraska has a son by Henry
and two children by the cowboy. Continuing
her search for Henry, in San Francisco, Braska is in elite black society,
when she meets a black lady, who is a famous artist in the city and is also
reckless and promiscuous. Two men want
to marry Braska in San Francisco. One
is a most elegant, debonair and classy black man, who owns the largest black
owned advertising agency west of the Mississippi River. The other is a white man, whose family is
wealthy from the Gold Rush, and his aristocratic mother, who rides in a
golden carriage, takes underhanded means to stop any marriage. Braska attends
a black ball, meets with a back to Africa movement in Oakland, and lives a
life full of intrigue and danger in San Francisco. A devastating earthquake
ends Braska’s fun in San Francisco, and she continues her search for Henry.
In Chicago, she encounters the treacherous political scene, and meets a
conservative inventor, who takes her on a trip to London and Paris in the
frolicking 1880s. Additional
characters and events in the cowboy trilogy include bank robbers, bandits,
train robbers, soldiers, cattle rustlers, gamblers, saloon women, detectives,
preachers, gold prospectors and dudes from back east. The cowboy trilogy is
eloquent, hilarious and action packed with brawls, duels and shootouts. * * * * P
R E S S R E L E A S E Historical Black Cowboy Novel Depicts Free Blacks in the Western Territories Book One of a Cowboy Trilogy, by Elaine North Chicago--May 22, 2004--The latest
novel by Elaine North is “Adventures of Nebraska Wade,” which is the first
book of a black cowboy trilogy. The three books depict the life of Nebraska
Wade, an elegant black dressmaker, who experiences fun, intrigue and romance
as she travels throughout the Wild West. Everyone calls her Braska. During
her travels in the three books, Braska evolves from an innocent girl on the
plains to a sophisticated woman in the city. The cowboy trilogy is based on
historical facts and has a great love story. Research for this cowboy story
included more than a hundred books. The trilogy depicts the dynamic free
African-Americans in the western territories in the nineteenth century. “Travels in the Western Territories”
is Book Two of the Nebraska Wade cowboy trilogy. In this second book, Braska
searches throughout the Wild West for her husband, and nearly dies in the
wilderness with the indians while trying to get to Denver. Braska encounters
black intellectuals who address the racial crisis in the United States
directly after emancipation, and she meets a handsome rascally trickster
black cowboy, who is one of the fastest guns in Arizona Territory. In Book Three of the trilogy, “A
Lady in the West,” the elegant dressmaker travels to sophisticated San
Francisco where she meets debonair black gents of the Old West and other
intriguing black and white characters of California in the late nineteenth
century. In “A Lady in the West,” Braska also travels to Chicago, and visits
London and Paris in the frolicking 1880s. Images for black women in the
nineteenth century has been that of a woman with a rag on her head scrubbing
somebody’s floor. With the character Nebraska Wade, Elaine North presents a
free, high-spirited, polished and elegant black lady, which is an image never
before clearly depicted for nineteenth century black women. By illustrating
dynamic blacks of the western territories, another more positive facet of the
African-American experience in the nineteenth century can be seen, something
other than slavery. During her research for the cowboy trilogy, Elaine North
learned that the first governor of California was a black man; a black man
owned the ritziest hotel in the West, in Denver, where the president would
stay; and that a large number of cowboys were black; these are facts that are
little known. In 2002,
Elaine North’s novel “Election 2000 Enchantment” was published. It is a
fun-filled adventure of two young women in Miami-Dade County, who become ballot
recounters during the Florida 2000 election crisis. The young women
experience intrigue, romance, passion, danger and deception as they meet some
of the many people from across the country that converge upon Florida due to
the derailed election. Both young women are 21. Jennifer McCloud is a pretty
white brunette, and Robin Booth is a lovely, slender African-American.
Jennifer becomes romantically involved with a dashing young New York
reporter, and Robin has a courtship with a tall handsome young black attorney
from Chicago. Jennifer and Robin also meet a habitual criminal and thief,
Dick Johnson. The thief has come to Florida to con money from people by
telling the lie that he can steal votes from the ballot hand recount to help
a candidate win. The thief tries to use the girls in his scam. The entire
story of the 2000 Florida election crisis, all of the day-by-day events and
details, is depicted through the lives of the characters in “Election 2000
Enchantment.” Elaine
North has written six books. North studied photojournalism at Los Angeles
City College, and worked as an advertising and award winning newspaper
photojournalist in the 1980s. In 1991, Elaine earned her history degree at

of “Election 2000 Enchantment,” by
Elaine North “Election 2000 Crisis in Florida Told in a Crime, Romance Novel” With all the
upheaval and mystery that abounded during the 2000 presidential election
crisis in Florida, author and historian, Elaine North, has written ELECTION
2000 ENCHANTMENT, a fun-filled crime, romance novel about the 36-day
presidential election crisis. The entire election crisis, each day-by-day
event, is clearly depicted through the characters in ELECTION 2000
ENCHANTMENT. The novel takes place in
the resort town of Honeyside, in Miami-Dade County, Florida. Jennifer McCloud and Robin Booth are
friends, both 21, who proudly become ballot hand recounters when presidential
election 2000 becomes derailed. Jennifer is white and had put in a lot of
hours volunteering for Bush. Robin is an African American, who is a waitress
at a chic jet set nightclub called the Space Ocean in the resort town. Both
Jennifer and Robin attend college, and they meet a variety of interesting
people that come to Florida due to the election crisis. Jennifer becomes
romantically involved with Alan Scott, a dashing young democrat television
news reporter from New York, and Robin meets a tall handsome young democrat
black attorney, Damon Shuttlesworth, from Chicago. In San
Quentin, California, on Election Day, Dick Johnson, a habitual criminal and
thief, is released from prison. The thief descends upon Florida to steal
ballots and con money from people by telling the lie that he can steal votes
from the hand recount to help a candidate win. Dick Johnson befriends
Jennifer and Robin and plots to use them in his scam. The girls are overworked and weary from
recounting mounds of ballots, and Johnson makes them feel important by
telling them that they should be honored for hand counting ballots and saving
the country. The thief fools the girls into believing that he is a rich
man. He takes Jennifer and Robin to
fancy restaurants, buys them expensive jewelry, and lies to them raving about
the many movie stars, royalty and politicians he knows. Dick Johnson steals credit cards, a Rolex
watch, six cars and everything else he desires. In Chapter 13, “The Thief in the Night,”
Johnson steals ballots and a voting machine. Jennifer and
Robin encounter fun and adventure as they experience all important events of
the election crisis. When republicans storm the Miami-Dade county building to
stop the hand recount, Jennifer and Robin are there. They cheer with a crowd
when they see the Ryder truck speeding along the highway taking ballots to
Tallahassee, with no idea that Dick Johnson is trailing them. All of the 24 chapters in ELECTION 2000
ENCHANTMENT are well developed and some read as richly as short stories. Chapter
19, “The Proud Day in Washington, D.C.,” is one of the funniest chapters,
when Dick Johnson treats Jennifer and Robin to a plane trip to Washington to
protest at the big U.S. Supreme Court hearing. As Jennifer and Robin
protests, Dick Johnson steals a truck and tries to steal a statue of President
Madison, but ends up fleeing from the police and hiding, which causes
Jennifer and Robin to become stranded in Washington after the protest. The love
affairs in ELECTION 2000 ENCHANTMENT are sensitive and passionate. The main topic of the book is the election,
yet the writer artfully blends the romances and the crimes of Dick Johnson
with the election crisis, as they all evolve. Damon and Robin have a sweet
romance until she tells him that she voted for Ralph Nader, and they argue
and break up. Jennifer has many opportunities to interact with Alan while he
is working as a reporter on the election.
In Chapter 12, “Election Love,” Jennifer and Alan realize that they
have fallen in love and wonder if the end of the election will be the end of
their affair. Minor
characters in ELECTION 2000 ENCHANTMENT include Jennifer’s two nerd little
brothers, Wyler, age 17, who is trying to build a voting machine to enter the
Perfect Voting Machine Contest, and 12 year old Truman, who is also a genius
and analyzes the details of the election crisis like an expert. Robin’s
mother, Sandra Booth, is a most vivid minor character, one that could be a
major character. Sandra Booth is a
staunch democrat, who constantly complains about what is happening with the
election. Sandra is a dynamic, strong black woman, who uses all kinds of
sophisticated manipulative strategies to get Damon to marry Robin. Elaine
North is an eloquent writer and charming storyteller. North earned her degree
in history from the University of Illinois at Chicago, where she conducted
