Brief Author Bio: Software developer by day, gamer/writer/reader/couch potato by night. Attempted NaNo for the first time in 2008 and reached 50K a few days early (a slow and steady 1800-2000 words a day helped). Attempting NaNo 2009 with a new idea, and hopefully turning this one into an 80K manuscript. Hope to spend December and January refining and polishing, and then sharing with Planet Earth sometime in February. |

Synopsis: Time Jumpers
At 16, rebellious teen Sammi has discovered the ability to jump through time -- both backward and forward. When she is caught by the ruling society called The Utopics, she gets shipped off to a special school for TJ's (Time Jumpers). Sammi and her classmates become trained to either jump backwards to assassinate historical targets such as Hitler and Mussolini, or scout future events by jumping ahead.
A rogue group of jumpers is trying to change what The Utopics are doing, believing that society should learn from the mistakes of history rather than trying to eliminate them to create perfection. Does Sammi choose to perfect history the way she was trained? Or does she decide to alter the course of history in a different way?
