On a tiny island in the far west of Ireland, something is happening that will change the course of human history.
American anthropology student Dani Peterson came to Ireland to document history, not live it. But a chance encounter with the mysterious Aideen sweeps her into a whirlwind journey that transcends centuries.
All the while, a darker truth stirs. Aideen’s mentor, the brilliant but sinister Charles, harbors secrets capable of unraveling the very fabric of time.
With the help of Annette Li, a powerful woman from the future, Dani and Aideen must protect the past, secure the future, and survive a time travel adventure in which every choice ripples through time.
Author’s Note: I truly enjoyed creating the characters in the Time Chain series. People from different times and places become friends, lovers, allies, and enemies. Early in Book One, the natural course of events causes the female leads, Dani and Aideen, to fall in love. And while the relationship isn’t explored in depth, I wanted to share this aspect up front.The Time Chain series is about a reality where time travel exists, with all the opportunities and challenges it brings. I’m thrilled that so many readers have enjoyed the series, as reflected in a few of their positive comments below:

Steven Decker is the author of Distant Finish, Projector For Sale, Time Chain and Child of Another Kind. His love of writing was born on the day he threw a spitball at one of his 5th grade classmates. Rather than punish him, his wise old teacher, Mrs. Brewer, called Steven to the front of the class and handed him a book of poetry. She quietly instructed him to memorize "Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening," by Robert Frost, and informed him that he would be reciting the poem in front of the class the following day. Mrs. Brewer hit a home run.
Inspired by Frost's ability to paint a picture and generate deep emotion with the written word, Steven fell in love with reading, writing and storytelling. As an 8th grader, he read the entire Lord of the Rings trilogy, for fun. It wasn't a homework assignment. As a student at the University of Virginia, he was thrilled at the prospect of writing a thesis as the culmination of his undergraduate studies. While traveling the world for work, Steven kept writing, and his experiences around the globe have influenced his novels in many ways.
When living in Appalachia while writing his first novel, Steven studied and practiced the art of storytelling. Since that time, he always edits his books by reading them aloud to himself. Novels are a story and need to sound like one. Fiction readers want to escape from our everyday lives when we read a novel. Thus the true job of a novelist is to imagine special things, sometimes even spectacular things, then write about them in a way that inspires the reader to go there, too, leaving the ordinary behind. The author spends his days with his two dogs, Jenny and Wilson, doing his best to write good fiction in a quiet town in Connecticut.
