Shannon, Lizzy

Lizzy Shannon admits a fascination with stories with themes where people have been thrust completely out of their element, such as the astronauts on the Planet of the Apes’ futuristic Earth, the lone half-Vulcan Spock in Star Trek, and the English Captain Blackthorne in Shogun, a pilot adrift in ancient feudal Japan.

Thrown out of her own element when she emigrated from Northern Ireland to the United States, Time Twist grew from a facetious ‘what if’ into a full-blown science fiction/time travel tale.

Lizzy recently had a screenplay optioned in Hollywood, and other works include a stage adaptation of LM Montgomery’s Anne of Green Gables, which has been on two US national tours; also a fantasy short story set in Ulster, Navan’s Hound, in an anthology by Wolfsinger Publications, WolfSongs I.

She is a Board Director of the Willamette Writers, who hosts a high-profile literary conference every August in Portland, Oregon.

Time Twist

Price: $2.99

Caught in time... In the 21st century, humanity still believes they are alone in the universe. That changes. Temporal experiments from the future go wrong, and an innocent bystander, Catriona Logan, is suddenly thrust into a future where the Earth is a wasteland. Humanity now fights for the alien Leontors in a war against the reptoid Komodoans, in return for technology to re-terraform Earth. The war is at a stalemate. Catriona s unique 21st century brainwave patterns will ensure a victory to whoever can scan her first, and she becomes a pawn between the alien races. Captured, Catriona must unravel the threads of deceit and find a mysterious and compelling ally in a world where her rules no longer apply. Time is fractured and only Catriona can put it right, but at what cost? (eBook for $2.99; Print Book for $19.95)
