VIDEO TRANSCRIPT
Do you love time travel stories as much as I do? If so, I think you’ll love my time travel novel, TIMESLINGERS. It’s a book about time travelers--or timeslingers--trying to control the future of our planet by altering past events.

TIMESLINGERS currently has a 4.5 out of 5 star ranking on Amazon--which I’m really grateful for... and the reviews have been incredibly fair. In fact, if you’re wondering whether or not you’ll like it, you can use the reviews as a guide.

My name is Jay Sherer and I’m the co-author--alongside Nathan Scheck--of TIMESLINGERS. I’m also one of the writers and producers behind the Star Wars fan film, STAR WARS: RIVALS. And I’ve had several short stories published and three short film scripts earn Top 10 finishes in the Write of Passage screenplay competition.

One of my favorite TIMESLINGERS reviews came from a Writer’s Digest Judge, who said: “It seems to be one of those trailblazing pieces of work that will eventually have plenty of copycats, giving it a place in literary history…” We were really grateful for that review.

Most of the people who love TIMESLINGERS love it for the fast-paced action and the cliffhangers at the end of every chapter. And those are central to the story because we wrote it as a serial story--where each chapter ends on a cliffhanger so you’ll keep reading.

Our influences for TIMESLINGERS were adventure movies like RAIDERS OF THE LOST ARK and BACK TO THE FUTURE, and fast-paced TV shows like 24 and Travelers. If you like those, there’s a good chance you’ll like TIMESLINGERS as well.

But don’t just take it from me! Check out the reviews as well! Andrew P. said: “If you enjoy a story that moves at a breakneck pace and doesn’t slow down... then give this novel a try.” And Gary B. said: “If you're a fan of Michael A Stackpole, Timothy Zahn, or any of Kevin J. Anderson’'s non-Dune books, you're going to really enjoy this.”

When we created TIMESLINGERS, our goal was to bring you a fast-paced, entertaining time travel adventure novel. And if that sounds like something you’d like, then please consider picking up a copy of TIMESLINGERS. And if you do, don’t hesitate to let us know what you think!
