Fogs Of Time

by R.M. Almonte

Maria Del Camino grew up in Washington Heights- where the music's loud, love cuts deep, and corner bodegas feel like home- until her brother is gunned down and the fog comes.


One moment she’s crossing the George Washington Bridge, the next she’s spinning through time. With every jump, it brings her closer to the hand that pulled the trigger — and the truth waiting in the fog may be more dangerous than the bullet that killed him.

About the author

R.M. Almonte – The Author Who Turned Dreams Into a Publishing Empire

Raised in a crack-ridden New York neighborhood, R.M. Almonte defied the odds, guided by vivid, recurring dreams and his mother’s unwavering belief. In 2002, with $800 and no plan, he moved to Japan, where twelve years abroad — including meeting spiritual leader Kahn — expanded his worldview.

Now a Dominican-American author, speaker, and founder of R.M. Almonte Publishing/Media, he blends lived experience, ufology research, and a lifelong love of science fiction into bestselling metaphysical novels, reaching readers across six countries.

In 2025, he appeared on Paranormal 60 and was booked for a prime-time segment on Coast to Coast AM, cementing his reputation as a rising voice in the field. His mission: channel a lifetime of risk, travel, and transformation into stories that bridge the seen and unseen — and tell the truth, especially when it’s strange.

Reviews

[The Noire Anthology]

Fogs of Time treats time like something that can stretch, bend, and loop in on itself. Instead of moving in a straight line from before to after, the story lets moments overlap and blur together. Scenes with the brother who is gone sit right beside moments of mourning, and the line between what is happening now and what is being remembered stays intentionally soft. It feels true to how grief works in real life, where a smell, a song, or a quiet afternoon can drop you right back into an old version of yourself.

The book uses fog as a way to show how memory and time shift around, putting it in conversation with other speculative stories that play with time. But this story is less about the mechanics of time and more about emotion. Characters slip between the past and the present in ways that might feel disorienting at first, but that sense of being unsteady is the point. It reflects the confusion of trying to move forward while the past still feels close.

What makes the book stand out is the way it balances its experimental structure with writing that is still clear and readable. Even when the timeline bends, the story is easy to follow. Some readers might feel a little lost at first, but that feeling is part of the experience. The book does not just talk about the fog of grief, it brings you into it, showing how love, loss, and memory rarely fit into a neat order.

The plot was really good and kept you interested and sucked in, especially the few little twists it had in it. I feel it was a little rushed in a few spots but over all a good read and would recommend!
