I write time travel fiction and children’s books. I'm otherwise retired and love to cruise.

Today I spoke to a group of women in a lovely luncheon setting. I didn't just talk about The Franklin Key or the soon-to-be-released The Galileo Ducat. I talked about “My Life in Books” all the way back to age 8 when I bought myself a copy of Eloise for $3.00. It was really fun!

If you have a friend in Europe, especially in Great Britain, I’d love it if you would tell them about The Franklin Key. Some of it is set in London. I'm hoping to develop my European market. The Franklin Key is available in a number of countries (and reasonably priced 😊).

Just posted in Threads but wanted to do it here too. I’ve just been in Washington lobbying against renewing the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (nasty & not about jobs at all). And passing out my book cards. Find me at marjacoonstorn.com.

If you know someone who needs a large print edition of The Franklin Key, it’s 19 point type—easy to read! And you can give it to grandpa or grandma without worry because there’s no off-color language, just lots of fun and adventure. Find it on Amazon for a very reasonable $14.99.

Reason #2 for buying and reading The Franklin Key. If you love science, you will love the exploration of quantum computing that is part of solving a terrorist threat.
Available on Amazon as an e-book, hard bound, paperback, large print and audiobook. Message me for a book club discussion guide.

Reason One why you should buy and read The Franklin Key (2.99 ebook/$10.99 paper from Amazon):
The Franklin Key is full of history. You’ll learn about Colonial America, WWI, the first ever Republican Convention, and so much more.

So, in The Franklin Key, Leah doesn't believe in time travel until she finds a key in her grandmother’s attic. What do you think the key opens? What do you think Leah does with it?

Hello Blue Sky! I'm the author of a time travel novel called The Franklin Key, available on Amazon. In my novel, Leah wakes up the day after her grandmother’s funeral to find that she’s the latest in 9 generations of time jumpers who jump with the help of Ben Franklin.
More about it in days to come!
