Discover the Future in the Past: Homo Tempus - What’s left of the future? by F.E. Jacob, with a Groundbreaking Preface by Alysson R. Moutri

 

Homo Tempus, a thrilling new novel by F.E. Jacob, is not just an extraordinary science fiction adventure—it’s a profound journey into humanity’s future, shaped by its past. Featuring a groundbreaking preface by Alysson R. Moutri, the renowned scientist known for pioneering Neanderthal brain organoids and preparing for a SpaceX mission, this book takes readers on a transformative exploration of survival, human evolution, and the future of civilization.

In Homo Tempus, Wallace Vidal, an unassuming librarian, is unexpectedly thrust into a future dominated by Neanderthals. What begins as a simple accident of time travel turns into a race against time itself as Wallace must navigate a world in collapse. With Neanderthals now stronger, more intelligent, and central to humanity’s survival, Wallace faces the daunting challenge of understanding why society fell and whether he can undo his mistakes. A fast-paced, action-packed narrative drives Wallace’s quest, but at its core, Homo Tempus forces us to confront profound questions about who we are, where we’re headed, and what lessons the past has for our future.

Alysson R. Moutri’s preface offers invaluable context to the novel, bridging cutting-edge science with speculative fiction. Moutri, a scientist at the forefront of Neanderthal DNA cloning and brain organoid research, reminds readers of the vast untapped potential of humanity’s evolutionary roots. He writes, “Homo Tempus is an invitation to reflect on how we are shaping the future of civilization. It calls for a deep respect for neurodiversity, the ancestral wisdom that lies within us, and the ways in which these elements might shape the future we are creating.” As Moutri prepares for a SpaceX mission, his insights into human evolution and neurodiversity underscore the importance of learning from our ancient ancestors, not just to survive, but to thrive in a rapidly changing world.

While Homo Tempus is a dystopian tale about survival, it’s also an urgent philosophical exploration of humanity’s direction. As Wallace journeys through a fractured future, readers are invited to reconsider what it means to be human and how understanding the past can help us navigate an uncertain future. F.E. Jacob is a visionary author whose works blend speculative fiction with deep philosophical inquiry.

Romanian Author Survives Communist Regime to Pen her Newest Novel

Sept. 10, 2017 – “Half My Age Plus Seven: Too Good to be True?” by Romanian author, Cristina G., is now available in a paperback and Kindle edition. The new novel is the sequel to her book by the same name with the subtitle, A Sinful Confession.
“I write because I love it, but I also write to provide a better life and basic amenities for my octogenarian parents,” said Cristina.
“Half My Age Plus Seven: Too Good to be True?” is the counterpart to A Sinful Confession and where the latter deals with love and loss, pain and torment, Too Good to be True is filled with love and hope. In the book, Tara meets the perfect man, but is plagued by a single ongoing doubt – is he too good to be true?
Cristina’s writing endeavors have been very well received. Her memoir, “Three Weeks a Human: A Memoir,” garnered rave reviews from readers with the suggestion that it be made into a film, exposing the slavery that still exists in the world.
Born in Romania during the oppressive communist regime of Nicolae Ceausescu, she’s uniquely qualified to address topics encompassing communism, immigration, abuse and exploitation. Her novels face those obstacles head-on, but are accounts of love and survival that weave together fact and fiction into stories for the soul.
Born a farmer’s daughter, she was the eleventh child and a seventh daughter. She thought her life path was sealed until she read “Les Misérables” by Victor Hugo and decided to be a writer. She immigrated to Italy in 2000 to follow her dream, but quickly discovered that Romanian heritage there marked her by society as someone of inferior birth.
Soul weary, the author returned to her native Romania with few options. “Freedom without opportunities is just another kind of prison,” said Cristina. With the encouragement of her brother, Sebastian, she blogged for many years and owns two highly popular blogs in Romanian and two in English.
With the aid of a British friend, she moved to the UK where she finally fulfilled her dream, overcoming all the obstacles that life could throw in her path. Her most recent novel, “Half My Age Plus Seven: Too Good to be True?” explores life, love and the beginning of hope.

About Cristina G.
Cristina G. is the author of “Ten Years in Italy: Three Weeks a Human – A Memoir” that addresses bigotry, exploitation and slavery in the 20th century; “Oranges at Christmas in a Communist Country – A Memoir” that chronicles her personal experiences during one of the most oppressive regimes in Eastern Europe; the self-help book, “It’s Never Game Over”; “iLive: Stories From the Prison Called Life,” a psychological thriller set behind walls; “God is Weary: Tragic and Witty Short Tales” that explores the harm that mankind inflicts upon each other; “Half My Age Plus Seven – A Sinful Confession,” a contemporary romance of guilt, shame and desire; and its sequel, “Half My Age Plus Seven: Too Good to be True?”

Does Your Smartphone Run Your Life?



New novel from award-winning author open to reader involvement on Kickstarter now
Seattle, WA (Oct. 10) – Janine A. Southard, IPPY-award winning author of Queen & Commander, returns to Kickstarter to fund her newest novel, Cracked! A Magic iPhone Story. In this heartwarming and hilarious novel, story-game aficionados acquire a magic iPhone that tries to kill them. For the month of October 2014, readers can get involved with the project on the Kickstarter website.
Cracked! A Magic iPhone Story considers the question “Do you run your life, or does your phone?” Southard’s novel takes a humorous bent. An early reader, Seattle-ite Rachel Lynn Solomon, says, “This book is both a love letter to and a parody of Seattle. Funny, clever, and poignant.”
Southard is concerned with the everyday lives of Seattle’s story-gamers. The characters are tethered to their phones. They drink a lot of coffee. They work for Starbucks, a local company. “If Douglas Adams and Jane Austen wrote a novel together, this would be it,” Southard laughingly decrees.
Cracked! A Magic iPhone Story has been through multiple revisions and will launch on Kickstarter with its bones already complete. The campaign will feature the novel itself as a reward, and it also includes promotional items like smartphone cases and Kickstarter-exclusive short stories that Southard will write for individual backers.
Be sure to check out Cracked! A Magic iPhone Story on Kickstarter.com. You might be one of the limited few who get a short story to go with their novel.
About Janine A. Southard
Since becoming a professional author in 2012, Southard has used Kickstarter for three projects, all of which successfully funded and shipped on time. In addition to the award-winning Queen & Commander, she has also released a novel, a novella, and a short story. Outside of working for her fans, she has written for NCSOFT’s Aion Online and Lineage II videogame titles. For more information, visit www.janinesouthard.com.
