About the author

I grew up in East Chicago, Indiana, and at an early age, my parents whom I miss introduced me to science fiction which influences the stories I write. When I was a kid I read the novel Star Trek: Final Frontier by Diane Carey and later on was introduced to Babylon 5. For the past 20 years, I've been working at the Hoosier Theatre in Whiting, Indiana. During my time there, I've written 20 novels. I am always working on my next book. One of my goals is to work with most major studios.

Timeline Chaos
Mess with time; anything might happen.

Poor grammar and punctuation

The idea is nice. Grammar horrible. For instance, if you change your close (wrong) then you should write you change your clothes (right spelling), and that is of one instance. I just can't get past mistakes on every page.

I was so disappointed in this book. I love Rysa Walker and the Chronos stories. I was hesitant because this was a different author, but figured it had to be series-approved somehow. The storyline wasn't horrible, but the spelling and grammar errors made this book almost impossible to enjoy. I mean, seriously, every author needs a proofreader. And sadly, while I admire any author who works to write a book and get it published (yea!), Mr. Pranaitis does not have the skill level needed to write a book connected with such a successful series. Simply reading the way the characters interacted with each other is painful. Overall, I can't say I will be looking for The Shattered Saga #2.

Way too many typos

Proofreaders exsist. Please use one. Very unprofessional, felt like a rough first draft. Won't purchase anymore. I love time travel but this is just bad.
