Trail-Mix Readers discussion

Hi Everyone! This is my first month as a moderator and the first book we will be reading is . I'm extremely excited to share this book with you. I had the opportunity to listen to an audio version of it in July. I was impressed with this unique story.

Calla Winston’s mobile devices sit in a corner of her room, covered in dust. Weeks ago, she shared photos and laughs with her best online friend. Now, after having felt the sting of betrayal, she prefers being hidden and friendless. She equates privacy with security and technology with pain.

Then she meets Valcas, an otherworldly time traveler who traverses time and space with a pair of altered sunglasses. When an ethereal being knocks Calla to the ground near her family’s lakeside cottage, Valcas uses the Travel Glasses to help her escape. He offers his further protection in exchange for a promise. Intrigued by Valcas and the possibility of time travel, Calla accepts. That is until she learns that his search for her was no mere coincidence.

Calla sets off on her own, taking the Travel Glasses with her. Torn between searching for her estranged father and reuniting with the rest of her family, she tracks down the inventor of the Travel Glasses in hopes of discovering more about Valcas’ past and motivations. The Travel Glasses take Calla’s mistrust of technology to all new levels. But without them, she’ll never make it back home. With Valcas hot on her trail, Calla hopes to find what she’s looking for before he catches up.

The Call to Search Everywhen is a serial series of novel-length installments. Travel Glasses is YA fantasy filled with metafiction and other literary twistiness. It's a thought-provoking narrative about trust, relationships, reality and illusion.

Chess has agreed at the end of the month to stop in and answer all of our questions about her and this series. I will be gifting 1 Kindle copy of her second book in the series at the end of month. The winner will be the person who is most active in the Q&A. Now everyone remember reviews are always appreciated.

Travel Glasses takes you on a romp to not only other times but also other places... some of them not quite real (and yet they are) which can best be explained as a Nowhere. Of course if you are eventually going to search Everywhen, that has to include a few Nowheres. If you like the character, Edgar, as much as I do, then you too can follow him on twitter.

We will be posting our questions in this thread for Chess to come answer at the end of the month.

I will get the ball rolling.
How did you come up with this unique storyline?

The color green is significant in this book. Why did you choose that color?

Ok everyone get your questions in. The giveaway for questions will end on 10/1/15

Only a couple of hours left before this thread and giveaway close
