The Backward Time Traveler: An Historic Time Travel Adventure

By Parker Rimes

An academic and a cynical reporter must steal from the past-by hijacking the bodies of the dead.

Keera Miles, an Assistant Professor of Anthropology and closet medium, is given a mission straight from the astral plane: travel back 200 years to an 1800s Oglala Lakota camp and retrieve the Inyan Wakhan-a Sacred Stone of extraterrestrial origin with miraculous healing powers. The catch? Physical objects can't travel through non-physical dimensions.

To pull off the impossible, her spirit guide pushes her to team up with Zach Bones, a wisecracking, street-smart Chicago journalist up to his neck in loan shark debts. Zach doesn't believe in time travel, ghosts, or alien rocks-until he wakes up two centuries in the past, trapped inside the body of a Lakota man whom the locals dismiss as simple.

Posing as a grieving widow and a village outcast, Keera and Zach must navigate local taboos, avoid suspicious elders, and steal a relic guarded like a holy war prize. But with time running out, hostile spirits circling, and the original owners of their host bodies waiting to reclaim their minds, one wrong move could trap them in the 19th century forever.
