J.K. Kelly answered Lindsay's question: Are Found In Time and The Lost Pulse a part of a series? Are they Novels that are not in a series? Hi Lindsey, Found in Time was my first novel and yes, The Lost Pulse is the sequel. If you enjoyed reading those check out The Export - that is the first in a three book series.
