"A strong literary fantasy novel about race, family, and time-traveling." -- IndependentBookReview.com
Amara knows what's going to happen, but she doesn't know why. She awakes on her wedding day in 1859 in West Africa, suddenly imbued with the ability to see the future. She sees the slaver Van Owen, who will steal her power. She sees herself as a slave on his North Carolina plantation. She sees a Harlem family more than a century in the future. She knows these people, but how? And she sees Van Owen hunting them, too. But how can she stop him if no one believes her?
Praise for CHAINS OF TIME..
"A perceptive and gripping tale of race and family."
-- Kirkus Reviews
"★★★★★ The beauty of Woodstone's prose evokes the intensity and allegorical journey that is usually reserved for literary fiction. The writing is simultaneously gorgeous, terrifying, and hopeful."
-- Readers' Favorite
"R.B. Woodstone has crafted a thoughtful, time-spanning novel that touches on family, oppression, and otherness in Chains of Time... the dramatic blend of history, tragedy, and magic pulls a reader in from the very start."
-- Self-Publishing Review
"An exceptional story that will place you in the heart and mind of each of the amazing characters. Prepare to be moved by a unique story that delves deep into the historical abuse of a people but has dynamic pockets of excitement, heartbreak, and the paranormal. Highly recommended."
-- Lesley Jones, international best-selling author
"With captivating characters on a fulfilling magical journey, Chains of Time is a strong novel that does not disappoint."
-- IndependentBookReview.com
"Though the work is rooted in fantasy and magical realism, there's a highly realistic quality to the historical content and the experience of Africans in the tragedy of the slave trade. Young adult and adult readers alike can appreciate the sophistication of ideas, which are layered into a powerful storyline that blends present and past exceedingly well."
-- K.C. Finn, USA Today best-selling author and Chanticleer Book Award winner

Seven traditional tales retold for children, alongside modern-day short stories for adults that aim to keep the intended magic and meaning of the originals.
***** "Evocative, with great descriptions and engaging plots."
***** "Tales that tales are zesty and surprising in many ways."
***** "Makes you think way beyond the innocence with which we usually regard a fairy tale."
***** "Navigates you safely and deeply into the real lessons of the fairy tale."
Classic Bedtime Tales for Children. Haunting and Stirring Tales for Adults.
Fairy stories have captivated the hearts and minds of children over many centuries. With their stories of witches and fairies, enchanting castles, and beautiful princesses, they contain all the right ingredients for exciting a young mind. But as is well known, the truths that can be found within these timeless compositions are rich in meaning and metaphor, offering powerful warnings and life lessons for adults.
In this innovative book, seven traditional tales are beautifully retold. Appealing to children, these are also intended to inspire new meaning for adults. Combined with each classical retelling is a short story for adults that aims to maintain the spirit and messages contained in the children’s versions.
These parallel stories are specifically written for adults, set in a wide range of environments, and featuring characters who encounter a whole host of very real human challenges and dilemmas. Loan sharks and wife-beaters, compulsive gamblers and murderers all feature here. But so too do stories of transformation and redemption, and journeys of hope, self-discovery and unlikely friendship.
Each pair of stories is accompanied by a commentary on how they might be interpreted. The result is a collection of wonderful tales that continue to enthral children, whilst offering fresh levels of meaning for the grown-ups who tell the stories to them.
Revisit these classic tales afresh and prepare to be surprised, inspired, and enthralled: Order your copy of this outstanding book NOW!
After a designer virus plunges the world into darkness, those who survived have finally regrouped and are now waging their own war against the new world order. - Author Caleb Adams delivers big time with his debut literary thriller.
It is Christmas Day. Squadrons of drones have taken to the skies across the major cities of the world. Attached to some of those miniature planes are banners with the wording PEACE ON EARTH. From the other drones, snow falls like confectionary sugar. It is a bewitching sight to all, like it must have been for those inside the walls of Troy when in rolled a great wooden horse. Children stick out their tongues. Lovers embrace and twirl about. The old close their eyes and unfurl their fingers as the deadly pathogen comes to rest upon their skin.
It is Year 3. Across the globe, the Caliphate is now firmly in control. Music and art are outlawed. Sport is sin. Toys are contraband, and women are bought and sold. What was once called America is now called Ummah. What we knew to be Chicago is now known as Ayla. Most who survived the virus and subsequent invasions are either in labor camps or hiding out like rats in the sewers. There is a resistance, though. Forty feet below the streets of Ayla, in abandoned freight tunnels, Sector 4 is 1700 strong. They bring hell and havoc to the Caliphate. They, however, might have just been found.
