The year is 2009.  Nineteen-year-old Jackson Meyer is a normal guy… he’s in college, has a girlfriend… and he can travel back through time. But it’s not like the movies – nothing changes in the present after his jumps– it’s just harmless fun.


That is… until the day strangers burst in on Jackson and his girlfriend, Holly, and during a struggle with Jackson, Holly is fatally shot. In his panic, Jackson jumps back two years to 2007, but this is not like his previous time jumps. Now he’s stuck in 2007 and can’t get back to the future. Desperate to somehow return to 2009 to save Holly but unable to return to his rightful year, Jackson settles into 2007 and learns what he can about his abilities.


But it’s not long before the people who shot Holly in 2009 come looking for Jackson in the past, and these “Enemies of Time” will stop at nothing to recruit this powerful young time-traveler.  Recruit… or kill him.

A success in the making: Pre-empted by Summit Entertainment (producers of Twilight) for feature film, with foreign rights sold in more than a dozen countries, Tempest, on sale January 17, is the first book in the buzzed about Tempest series by Julie Cross.

“Julie Cross's thrilling debut is brimming with excitement, romance, and intrigue. I couldn't turn the pages fast enough!” —Beth Revis, New York Times bestselling author of ACROSS THE UNIVERSE.

    I'd want to go to the United States - let's say San Diego, in the future. I'd love to see how different we are in 100 years, since when you compare 2012 with 1912 there is such a huge difference, I'm expecting amazing things.

    Hmm if I were a time traveller I would so go back in time and warn myself before I did embarassing stuff :) If that doesn't count I have to say that I would time travel back to the 16th century somewhere where there are castles! Thanks for the giveaway!

    I would probably go back to the 19th century, where romance was still alive and there were ladies and gentleman. Sigh.

    Btw, I think the cover of this novel is just so gorgeous!

    I'd probably go to the 20's. I've always loved learning about that time. It was like the beginning of how society is like today...sort of. And I'd also go to before that. Like 1899-1900. I loved that time as well. Like how Anna Godberson portrayed it in the Luxe series, I absolutely LOVED it. I can't wait to read her series about the 20's. I think Anna and I would have a lot in common...lol
    Thanks for the giveaway!! :D

    I think I'd go to Florida in the 1970's so I could see my parents as teenagers and watch them fall in love :)

    There are so many possibilities! I find myself wondering what my grandparents and parents were at my age, so I'd go back to a range of dates from the 1920s- 1970s.

    This is an awesome giveaway! I would love to win this book- I have heard such great things about it and definitely want to read it. If I could time travel to any time I would probably go to the future to see what life is like in about 50 years. It might help me prepare for that time period!

    If I was a time traveler...

    Thanks for the giveaway! I can't wait to read it. I would go back in time to the 1950's. I've always liked the music and the way they dressed back then. It would be neat to see first hand!
