My new novel: Totally Rad Wormhole

 

It's been a while, but I wanted to let everyone know about my new novel: Totally Rad Wormhole. Here's what it's about:

It’s 1989, and high school seniors Alex and Roger cannot wait to graduate. High school may be heinous, but they have big plans for adulthood. Then, something goes wrong with their science project – it rips open a hole in time, a tunnel to the year 2021. The boys journey into the future to find out how their lives will turn out. But when they meet themselves at their high school reunion, they are not pleased with what they’ve become and set out to change their fate. Their future selves, however, remember this journey and compete to influence the outcome.

I've also created a Spotify list of songs mentioned in the book:
