Hey there!

I’m J L Wilson, and I write mysteries and paranormal/reincarnation/time travel books. I’ve got several books out with several different publishers, but today I’m going to talk about the paranormal books. I’m psyched to say my first paranormal book, Forgiveness, placed 3rd in a rather tough contest — the PRISM award for published novels, run by the Romance Writers of America FF&P chapter. I was up against some heavy hitters and my little e-book came in 3rd! No wonder I’m excited!

The second book in this paranormal series comes out in a month, so I’ll tell you about the series and what you can expect. The series is “The History Patrol” and it’s available from Cerridwen Press. It’s about a group of people from the future who travel back in time in the service of a group, the History Patrol. Each History Patrol Guide sent back in time is accompanied by a Companion, a shapeshifting animal who is really a human, but who can’t be seen in human form until they perform penance for a crime they committed. There’s a catch (of course): the penance involves the Guide, who knows nothing about the crime.

Who said God doesn’t have a sense of humor?

Here’s the blurb for the first book, Forgiveness

What would you do if you caused the death of the woman you loved?

In 1876, James Benteen caused the death of Penelope Albright. Choosing to serve penance, James is reincarnated in 2168 as Jim, a shapeshifting Companion to Penelope, a Guide with the History Patrol. Penelope doesn’t know about her past connection to Jim. He’s simply a soul she’s learned to love through dozens of trips through time.

They’re sent to 1876 America to observe history and assist in the capture of Franz Mueller, a 22nd-Century murderer who escaped through God’s Portal. It’s here that Penelope meets James Benteen, a cowboy with a dark past. If history repeats itself, Penelope and James will fall in love before James betrays her, causing her death. But this time Jim is there. If he can save Penelope, he can attain forgiveness and his penance will be served.

Jim will have to battle his former self, the Jesse James gang and God to accomplish his purpose. But in the end, it’s Penelope who must intervene with a higher authority to find happiness with the man she’s come to love across time…

The second book in the series, Endurance, is coming in November:

Imagine being torn away from all you know and love. And now imagine being torn away from your place in time.

That’s what happened to Nico Haidess who is trapped, not just in time, but in a reincarnation gone wrong.

He’s a Guide with the History Patrol, sent back from 2190 and now stranded in 21st century America. He’s been reunited with the love of his life, Lucinda Delacroix who has been reincarnated in this place and time. There’s only one problem: he doesn’t recognize her as his lost love and she doesn’t recognize him.

To Lucinda, Nico is just a handsome stranger, a man who seems oddly familiar. And to Nico—a paid assassin—Lucinda is just an assignment, a suspected traitor. He must kill her on Easter morning and make it look like an accident.

Luckily one other creature can help. Cerberus is a telepathic dog on special assignment with the History Patrol, sent to bring these two lovers together. Cerberus has a vested interest in the fate of Nico Haidess and he’ll do whatever it takes to see Nico and Lucinda reunited—even if it means dying and defying God to accomplish his purpose.

But the clock is ticking for all of them and time is starting to run out.

If you want to know more about the History Patrol, check out my website. I have background information about the Patrol there and information about the other books in the series, coming next year (and in years to come). There are seven books planned for the series, and four written, so you’ll have lots of novels to entertain you in the future!
