The Rifters. The Rifters, #1

A junction between the worlds erupts. The Gold Rush trickles to a fool's quest and a string of stagecoach heists. In 1888, Earl Blacke decides to make a new start and become a better man. He escapes into the mountains, heading north. In the wilds of Oregon, a rift inside an ancient volcano opens and sends him into the future, into the present day. It also shaves forty years off his age, forty years to live over again and atone for what he's done.
Starting over is hard to do. In current day New York, Daelin Long's dream job at a publishing house goes the way of the dinosaurs her sister chases. With no money and nowhere else to go, Daelin accepts the librarian position in her sister's dinky town in the middle of Oregon. Nestled inside ancient volcanic peaks, the town of Settler holds onto many secrets. Residents roam the streets with weirdly fashioned devices, and odd lights pulse in the night skies.
People whisper of a phantom outlaw and start dying, murdered and missing their heads. On top of it all, Daelin's sister is missing, and Daelin doesn't know who to trust. Earl knows more than he's saying. He shares a notorious history with the phantom, one he'll see remains buried. Keeping Daelin's sister's secrets is his only chance at redemption, and the only way to keep this world safe. Jay Noel: "If you're tired of the same stuff in the speculative fiction world, you MUST read The Rifters.
It's a standout book."Nunja Business: "Thoroughly engrossing and moving at a good pace, I found myself reading on and becoming invested in the characters and their unique situations. I am looking forward to seeing Daelin progress as she learns the life (and job) of being a Rifter. I am also extremely anxious to see how Earl Blacke (or whatever name he decides to use) conquers his demons and maybe even finds redemption."
