Western Lights

2024 Literary Titan GOLD Book Award in Fiction

2024 Reader’s Favorite BRONZE MEDAL Winner in Fiction - Time Travel

She escaped the apocalypse—now she must stop it from happening.

When Earth’s magnetic core flips, violent solar flares ignite Super Auroras—tearing open rifts in time. In an instant, researcher Sara Gathers vanishes in a flash of light… and wakes up in the 1980s.

The world she knew is gone. The climate crisis that doomed her future hasn't begun yet, but neither has the fight to stop it. Stranded decades before disaster, Sara must convince a skeptical world to change course before it’s too late.

But time doesn’t yield easily, and neither do those in power. As authorities grow suspicious of her impossible predictions, her last hope lies in one person: Julia Gathers—a brilliant scientist who doesn’t yet know she’s destined to become Sara’s mother.

To alter history, Sara must risk everything. Because if she fails, Earth’s destruction is inevitable—and this time, there will be no escape.

WESTERN LIGHTS is a heart-pounding sci-fi adventure where saving humanity means rewriting the past, and where survival is measured by the strength of human connection.
