Plot Summary of A Time For Everything
" It's the future... and things are bleak. Marc Matrix is a man who lives in the wrong time. He cannot change the present, but can he change the past?
He can... technology saved him... and he travels back to our present.
But traveling to this era and living in it, though, are two very different things. This book follows his path as he humorously adapts, meets a fantastic lady, and wards off a dangerous, jealous ex-lover.
Can he truly be happy living in a time so totally opposite of all he has ever known? Yes, but there are many, many surprises in store for him."

Chris Clark Davidson, Resident Scholar

"A man from the near-but-distant future, Marc Matrix, had no place in this life. All his close family were gone... and even though he had many friends, he still felt out of place. His life changed, though, when he purchased an old farmhouse.
He dived into the task of repair of this old dwelling, and because of his thorough search of every nook and cranny, he found some old journals. His life changed from that moment.
He learned of a woman from the past and through her words, he learned to care for her very much. But she was gone... or was she?
He found a way to breach time... and from that moment on, nothing was the same! He invaded her life but in an unusual and endearing way. She could not help but love him, even though he was different.
Their romance--and their love--grew as the full plot unfolds, till the bond between them became unbreakable. Even when he found he must return to his own century, they found their love reaching across the ages--and the boundaries of time--to each other."

Beth, Resident Scholar
