Time Traveler 1492: Searching for Treasured Ancient Manuscripts
When our hero embarks on an audacious journey to 15th-century London, he uncovers the first-ever books printed in the English language, priceless artifacts worth millions. Determined to transport these literary treasures back to the 21st century, he envisions reassembling his talented team to develop a trillion-dollar app that could change the world. During his time in England, he learns of elusive, priceless 2,500-year-old manuscripts concealed in Spain—ancient tomes believed to contain the lost wisdom of the ages. As he navigates a labyrinth of formidable challenges to claim these extraordinary relics, he dreams of a future where, with his newfound wealth and status, he can win the heart of the enchanting Princess Marie—to him the most tantalizingly beautiful woman in any century. His perilous expedition leads him to cross paths with the newly crowned King Henry VII, the visionary explorer Christopher Columbus, and resplendent Queen Isabella as she and Ferdinand re-conquer Spain.
While traveling to London in the fall of 1491 on his grand adventure, Rand Roberts would remain oblivious to all that would transpire back in Bunkillarny. To him, the quaint, picturesque, seaside Irish village with its spectacular castle, glorious cathedral, and enchanting people had become home and family, a home he would remember fondly and yearn for during the inevitable travails on his epic journey. Unbeknownst to Rand, his abusive nemesis, Reginald, had seized control of the shire and instituted a corrupt regime plotting to become the wealthiest and most powerful man in all of Ireland. To secure his reign, he threatens Rand’s closest friends with imprisonment, rape and possible death, leaving the previously thriving shire’s downtrodden populace desperate for rescue. In these violent times, Rand has but one advantage— a downloaded copy of Wikipedia on his iPhone, which he must access judiciously before its battery permanently dies.

The coming book in the Time Traveler Series
Before returning to the 21st century, Rand amasses a remarkable collection of rare books valued at an astonishing $50,000,000 or more, including the legendary Gutenberg Bible. But first he will travel to Italy, the vibrant epicenter of the Renaissance, a movement ignited by the printing revolution, where he seeks more priceless literary treasures. His ambition? To transport these invaluable books back to the future and launch a multi-billion-dollar enterprise that will not just challenge Amazon’s delivery supremacy but revolutionize it—while also rescuing our planet from doom. But as he sets his sights on the future, a poignant question looms: will Gwendolyn summon the courage to leave her father and everything she cherishes in 15th century Ireland to join him? And if she hesitates, will Rand be able to leave her behind?
