I am pleased to announce that after more than a year, my latest work, A Climax in Time, is now live on Amazon.
The Amazon description reads:
“What then is time? If no one asks me, I know: if I wish to explain it to one that asketh, I know not.” ~ St. Augustine of Hippo.
How would a modern woman cope if she were accidentally transported into the early 1900s, a time without modern conveniences, when women didn’t even have the right to vote? And how would the Victorian era handle an intelligent, educated, assertive woman from the future?
Leanne Hermes, the wife of an eccentric billionaire scientist, was accidentally transported 99 years into the past by a device her husband made to capture the energy of the female orgasm.
Her distraught husband thought the worst, that his device had disintegrated his wife, until he came across journals his great-grandfather had explicitly saved for him. But that was only the tip of the iceberg. What he learns about his family tree and his family’s company in his desperate quest to return Leanne shocks him to his core.
If you enjoy spicy novels about time travel with unexpected twists and turns, you’ll want to get your copy of A Climax in Time.
I did something a little different with this book and posted it on Booksprout to get some pre-release reviews. And I’m glad I did.
You could’ve knocked me over with a feather when I read this review:
A Climax in Time – by Saddletramp1956, is a captivating blend of science fiction, romance, and intrigue that delivers a deeply emotional and thought-provoking narrative. The story masterfully weaves together the complexities of time travel with heartfelt human connections, creating a tale that is both thrilling and profoundly moving. The author’s ability to balance the high-stakes consequences of tampering with time and the tender, intimate moments between characters like Al and Leanne showcases a storytelling prowess that keeps readers hooked from start to finish. Saddletramp1956’s unique voice shines through, making this a standout piece in the science fiction genre.
The character development in this story is exceptional, particularly in the portrayal of Al and Leanne’s reunion. Their love, tested by years of separation and the perils of time travel, feels authentic and deeply relatable. The dialogue is poignant, especially in moments like Leanne’s vulnerable confession about her insecurities and Al’s unwavering devotion, which add layers of emotional depth to the narrative. Additionally, secondary characters like Grigory and Agent Barnes are given enough nuance to feel integral to the story, hinting at broader implications and future conflicts that leave readers eager for more.
Saddletramp1956’s world-building is another highlight, seamlessly integrating the mechanics of time travel with a richly imagined historical backdrop. The concept of using “orgasmic energy” as a power source for time displacement is both quirky and innovative, adding a layer of originality that sets this story apart from traditional time-travel tales. The author’s attention to detail, such as the historical setting of 1910 and the vivid descriptions of the old Manor ruins, immerses readers in a believable yet fantastical world. The subtle foreshadowing of a “temporary rift in the fabric of space and time” adds an ominous undertone, heightening the stakes and leaving readers intrigued about the consequences of the characters’ actions.
The epilogue is a brilliant touch, tying up loose ends while opening the door for future adventures in the Saddletramp Universe. The introduction of Xavier Dempsey and his sinister ambitions injects a thrilling twist, hinting at larger conspiracies and moral dilemmas to come. Saddletramp1956’s ability to blend genres—melding romance, science fiction, and a touch of espionage—makes A Climax in Time 2 a multifaceted gem that appeals to a wide audience. This story is a testament to the author’s skill in crafting narratives that are as emotionally resonant as they are intellectually stimulating, leaving readers eagerly awaiting the next installment.

So, what’s next? Good question, and I’m already a step or two ahead of you.
One might think that after more than a year of labor, I’d take a few days to rest, relax, and bask in the glow of having published my tenth book on Amazon. (That’s right — ten!)
