Here's another little snippet from Book 1 in the Second Chances Time Travel Series, Come Home to Me.
“By asking me to
pretend to be this competent wagon train scout, you are condemning a bunch of
people to die. Do you realize that?” Jake stood, anger building up inside him.
How was he supposed to get a large group of people through the wilderness of
the nineteenth century? If he really had time traveled, this would be an
impossible undertaking. “I don’t have the first clue how to get from Iowa to
Oregon in the 1800’s. What if I refuse
to do this?”
“You’ll return to
your jail cell in your time, and will be convicted of first degree murder with
special circumstances. I believe you understand what that means.”
Yeah. He knew what
that meant. Life on death row. “You’re crazy, you know that?” Jake paced the
floor in front of the reverend. He could
rot in a jail cell for the rest of his life, or he could die here in the
nineteenth century. “Some choice,” he mumbled. “I don’t even know why I’m
agreeing to do this.” A pair of blue eyes flashed in his mind.
