The Complete Time Change Series - Books One, Two and Three
HE MAJORED IN SCIENCE AND MINORED IN UNREALIZED DREAMS
High school teacher Jack Riggs is flung a century and a half into the past.
A TIME TRAVEL RACE AGAINST THE CLOCK
It's 157 years ago in Norfolk, Virginia and Jack has no money, a nearly dead iPhone
in his pocket, and no idea how he got there. He must assimilate if he's to have
any hope of getting back. Tormented, he tells his tale to Frances Sanger, a
woman with trust issues who nonetheless trusts Jack to stop a war that's been
brewing for over a hundred years. He alone holds the key to saving nearly a
million people, and he's got to do it in three and a half years.
THERE ARE PEOPLE WHO WANT THE CIVIL WAR FOUGHT
Abner Adkins, lawyer and cheating ex-husband of Frances, represents a group of
ruthless Southern terrorists that who will kill anyone who tries to keep the
peace--and concerning Jack, it's personal.
HELP FROM YOUNG SAMUEL CLEMENS AND RALPH WALDO EMERSON
Can Jack invent this country out of its bloodiest war ever while trying to stay one
step ahead of those who want him dead? Jack, with the help of a cast of
historical superstars, come up with a plan that can stop the war before it
starts. Corporate spies and suicide bombers threaten to ruin it all.
EVERY CHANGE RIPPLES INTO THE FUTURE
In the final book of the Time Change Trilogy, Time Change Book Three: The Way Back, Jack Riggs finds himself in a future time where nothing is as he thought. The actions of the past have rewritten history. The Civil War never happened and entire races of people have been decimated. But the changes in history affect Jack in personal ways, too. After discovering something about his wife, Frances, Jack's feelings become as convoluted as the twists in time.
With the future of the world and his marriage at stake, Jack Riggs has a chance to go back and make things right, but his father beats him to it with plans of his own.
The Way Back is the conclusion to the Time Change Trilogy wrapped up with a nice neat little bow . . . almost.

All I ever wanted to do was write books and be on the radio, so naturally I went to college to study advertising.
Four years later I find myself doing marketing for a “Chuck E Cheese want-to-be” restaurant chain. I was living in my hometown (Flint, Michigan), working eighteen hours a day, making great money and feeling like I sold my soul to the devil (or in this case, a giant kangaroo that looked exactly like Chuck E. Cheese).
Fall was in the air and so was change, so I quit my high-paying job to make $90 every two weeks working four hours a day, Monday through Friday on a radio station in Cadillac Michigan.
Only making $45 a week and only working twenty hours I had to keep busy cheaply. I did the only other thing I ever wanted to do in my whole life and that was to write.
I wrote romances and detective stories while in high school and sent them to pulpy magazines. After 30 rejection slips, I switched to writing novels and wrote them for only me.
That is until I met my wife, who read them, loved them, and said let’s share them with the world and make ten million dollars.
Fast forward to now, I’m still at it years later, still on the radio, still writing, still sharing and still working on those millions.
I live in the coolest city in Texas, Austin, the home of Willie Nelson, Matthew McConaughey, Sandra Bullock and a serious bunch of hipsters. I play tennis four days a week and work everyday on ways to become a better writer.
I am married and live with two kids, three fish, a lizard and two white miniature schnauzers named Max and Samsung.
I have been published on Twitter (Alex_Austin)and my work often appears in Facebook (http://bit.ly/AlexvoxFB).

The three books could each stand alone, but they cannot be read out of sequence. Book three is the weakest but it mostly ties up the loose ends. The premise of traveling to the past and deliberately injecting future events and inventions goes contrary to the norms of time travel ethics. However, maybe the future/now would be improved if that happened. Would recommend this for many time travel fiction fans but really not the stuff that appeals to time travel romance fans or hard core techies. It is enjoyable however so give the trilogy a chance.
I went back and forth for several weeks before I finally downloaded this book. I'm so glad I did! I've recently gotten in to the time travel side of the scifi genre and I found it refreshing that these books take on the view of actually going back and changing time not the typical "you must just be an observer" story. I like Jack the main character, he's one of those that I just want shake sometimes because he totally overreacts when his feelings get hurt (typical male... sorry) which drives me crazy. But he will do whatever is necessary to protect the people he cares about; so that redeems his emotional short comings for me.
