"Double Visions" Tour Banner

Today is Day 4 of the WordCrafter Double Visions Book Blog Tour and we’re over at Carla Loves to Read, where I’m introducing the character of Nick Umbridge, the time travel tester who started this whole adventure by traveling back to 1887 and dying there. But he lives again in each time loop created, so he’s back again. Join us in sending off The Rock Star & The Outlaw 2: Double Visions and learn more about this amazing Time Travel Adventure. Today’s stop also includes a review from our host, Carla Johnson-Hicks.

Note: The Kickstarter campaign has funded, but there is still time to get discounted digital copies, signed print copies, posters and goodie bags. Thanks goes out to all those who backed this project.

"Double Visions" Tour Banner

For Day 2 of the WordCrafter Double Visions Book Blog Tour, we’re over at Poetry by Mich (below), Hotel Masticadores, and Masticadores Phillipines, so you can find us wherever you prefer to stop in.

Yesterday, on Writing to be Read, I re-introduced you to my main character, Amaryllis Maria Sanchez, or Rock Star, and talked about how the story was inspired by the music of The Pretty Reckless. Today, I’m re-introducing to her male counterpart, LeRoy, or Cowboy, talk about writing with music. Each stop offers a reading from the character viewpoint, so hopefully you will at least be entertained.

I do hope you will join us in sending off book 2 of my time Travel Adventure Series – The Rock Star & The Outlaw 2: Double Visions.

About The Rock Star & The Outlaw 2: Double Visions

Book Cover: The Rock Star & The Outlaw 2: Double Visions, by Kaye Lynne Booth

In 1887, LeRoy is stuck, bringing trouble down on those around him. Sissy is kidnapped and he’s the only one who can save her.

She wakes up in 2030, in a future very different to the one she knows, one in which she may not have  been born. Amaryllis will stop at nothing to find LeRoy fix what she messed up in the past.

She and a version of Monique which is different from the one she grew up with travel back to 1887 to try and make things right.

Add two time travel regulators from the future who are after the time module, and things begin to get wild.

When the time loops are crossed, things change, but not the way Amaryllis intended and pretty soon, everybody is seeing doubles.

Book Trailer

This tour will be a little different, because I’m running a Kickstarter campaign for this launch which is in effect now and will be going on throughout the tour, since it doesn’t end until the 28th. So, instead of giving you a purchase link for retailers, we’ll be using the Kickstarter URL, so you can get digital copies at a discount from the retail price, or signed print copies and merchandise that is not available anywhere else. You can support the Kickstarter campaign and receive a digital copy for as little as $5, so I hope you’ll join in on sending Double Visions off right. Remember after the 28th, you’ll have to pay full price at retailers, so get your copies now.

Support the Kickstarter and get your books at the link below.

Amaryllis, Rock Star & The Pretty Reckless

(Author note: I started this post for the tour for book 1, so some of it may be familiar if you’re a fan of the series. I added to it for the second book, so bear with me for new information. Same character stars in both books, you see?)

Amaryllis Maria Sanchez is a composite character. She’s a cross between Sharon Stone’s character in Basic Instinct and Taylor Momsen of The Pretty Reckless. She’s an adrenaline junkie, who likes to tempt death and lives life to the extremes. She’s a rock star who is at the top of her game when she’s on stage. After she kills her drug dealing, domineering boyfriend to save herself from his wrath, she figures she’s already damned herself, she figures she might as well ride out the storm that’s headed her way. But, when she crosses paths with a time-traveling cowboy, LeRoy Mc Allister, who offers a way to stay ahead of the game and a place to run to where she won’t ever be found, she sees the potential for a whole new life of adventures.

Amaryllis began as a character like Sharon Stones character in Basic Instincts – a daring woman who plays a deadly game. I like Sharon Stone in just about anything, but I admired the way she played this character in particular. I challenged myself to create a character with that same adventuresome nature, and that self-confident, ‘on top of the world’ attitude.

The idea for her method for killing Claude came from an actual murder case I heard about on the news. I thought it was unique, and I knew I wanted to use it in a story. Murder by high heel. It just happened to be a perfect method for Amaryllis to defend herself.

My son introduced me to the music of The Pretty Reckless, and I fell in love with the voice of Taylor Momsen. I bought their CDs and played them on my commute to work, and a story about a female rock singer began to form in my head, and the Sharon Stone-like character somehow merged with the woman who emerged in my mind from their music. That woman was a lot like my image of Taylor Momsen. And so, Amaryllis Maria Sanchez emerged on the page.

In the first book, she and LeRoy travel back to 1887 for a wild ride in the old west. But, when they try to go back to the future, something goes terribly wrong and only Amaryllis arrives in 2030, and things are very different from how Amaryllis remembers them. In the second book, Double Visions, Amaryllis and her friend Monique go back in time to try and put things back the way they were and restore time as Amaryllis remembers it. That means finding and reuniting with LeRoy, and making sure her grandparents meet and marry, so she will be born in 1999.

In book 2, Amaryllis changed things in the past that weren’t intended, and as time loops cross and ripples occur, our characters are all seeing double, or in one case, triple, as all hell breaks loose. Of course, Amaryllis is also ‘Rock Star’ in the earlier time loop from the first book. They are the same woman, Rock Star is the younger version, if only by about six months, but Amaryllis, her older self tries to fix the future in the past, but in doing so, changes things which happened the first time around.

It’s a ride even wilder than the first time around, with multiple character POVs, which add to the playlist for this one, including a couple of new characters, Time Regulator Agent Catalina Duncan and her partner Agent Reginald Thompson to stir things up and keep it interesting.

The question posed for Amaryllis’ character: Will Amaryllis be able to change the right thing in the past to correct the future?
