CUL8RTM
Award Winning TIME TRAVEL MYSTERY BOOK SERIES

     Welcome to the Award Winning CUL8R teen time travel mystery book series.  We originally set out to write a book series just for teens but the reviews and interest by readers in their 20's, 30's and beyond, has been awesome. After all, to be a best selling book or best selling book series, you have to write what people want to read. 

     And for decades, readers have wanted to read about and get lost in the pages of a best selling book series where the lead characters become empowered and are able to overcome obstacles that were in their path.  To time travel back and deal with a situation or problem from the past and to make it right is a proved genre for a book series.  Many teens have told us they would time travel back to change things that were unfair even if it was before they were born.  Our time travel blog site pole told us that teens would rather time travel to the past than time travel to the future.  This teen time travel book series is unique in many ways.  Our four teens, live in Fort Myers Beach, Florida and are mature with a great sense of humor.  But after they time travel back to decades before they were born they became fish out of water even though they were at their own high school!  Because it is a time travel book series the books are interconnected to a degree where the story and characters demand them to be.


     Unlike other time travel stories like Back To The Future, we wanted our teens to have a  dog in the fight.  They risked their lives and futures for a reason that mattered both to them as individual teens and mattered to teens in today.  The issues they tackle are not pretty and often are the uglier side of life as we know it.  And we are able to get on the right mission beacuse our teens are able to speak with the victims personally.  We accomplished this with help from Thomas Edison. 

     Unlike Albert Einstein, Edison wasn't known for his beliefs surrounding time travel but rather his little known fascination with the paranormal. Specifically, communication with the dead!  Oh sure his estate and decedents deny his interest in this phenomena but his public magazine articles and the statements he made during the last ten years of his life say otherwise.


     But we needed to be sure the teen time travel foursome worked on something that was bigger than them and to do that we went back to the reason we're here to begin with.  Think about it, life is like a book series with three books.  Title the books . . .

   1.  The day you're born,
   2.  The day you realize why you were born and
   3.  The day you finally do something about it with your life 
     
    

     None of us remember the first book, the day we were born.  Book #2 for some people is never read or if read the book is not understood until it is late in life.  Book #3, when we finally take charge and do what is important to the reason we're here, happens long after the teen years. Usually.   Kelly, Scott, Austin and Zoey became speed readers as they grasp what book #2 had to say and they begin living in book #3.   


     Their new friendship will be tested and their lives put on the line as they learn how to combat the dangers of living life on the edge in an era before they were born.  The CUL8R book series teaches them how to rely on their friends.  The CUL8R book series deals with important issues of today and yesterday, but its teens also know how to have fun in the moment.  It's all about . . .


          • Friendship
          • Time Travel
          • Mystery
          • Romance
          • Danger
          • Adventure

     Albert Einstein said of the idea of time travel "People like us, who believe in physics, know that the distinction between past, present and future is only a stubbornly persistent illusion." 

     Stretch your illusions and follow the four brave and creative teens as they outwit and outlast the unknown dangers that await them and the evils that want to stop their success and jeopardize their lives as they time travel to the past in the CUL8R time travel mystery book series.

     The creative talent behind the CUL8R Teen Time Travel Mystery Series is Kathy Clark, author of over 20 award winning best selling fiction books and a New York Times multi-million best selling author in her career.  She's a believer in teen time travel stories and loves teen  fiction written with an edge and humor.
The CUL8R series takes place in the town of Fort Myers Beach, Florida.  The montage starts in 5 seconds.

A fictional book series about teen time travel, teen time travelers,  teens addressing serious teen issues, teens handling romantic situations and dealing with adults who are in a position of authority. Teen time travel back to the 1960s, 1980s, the early 1900's and before.  Why go there?  

Why teen time travel? Why not leave everything set in today’s world? 

There are three reasons.     

     First, by taking the teen characters back in time it sets up the popular fish-out-of-water scenario that readers love.

     Second, it becomes a form of a history lesson when you realize that there was a time when luggage didn't have wheels, cell phones didn't exist, schools didn't have armed guards and information flowed so slowly that solutions were not easily available when trying to save a life.

     Third,  by taking the reader to a time they are less familiar with, such as 1966 when OMG takes place. the readers are exposed to feelings and events they would not otherwise consider. 

     Teen time travel allows us to take some of today’s most difficult issues in a teen’s life and set them in a parallel plot line that both entertains and educates as our teens solve a mystery and accomplish a worthwhile mission in a time before they were born.


Why Write a Teen Time Travel Series?

     The reason for the teen time travel series is clear.  First of all, we want to entertain and provide alternative ways for teens to use their imagination.  But we also feel it is important to present teens with positive role models who are doing worthwhile deeds for reasons bigger then themselves.  The mountains they climb in their time travel adventure and the reasons they risk life and limb for someone else’s benefit center on problems that have been around in one form or another for hundreds of years.  Teens should know that there are solutions to their problems and that they are not the first, nor the last to have to deal with bad things.  
     Teens today are confronted and are aware of issues such as suicide, serial killers, sexual molesters and rapists, self-image issues that lead to destructive behavior, teen-to-teen physical and mental abuse or simply the trials and tribulations of friendship and dating are all serious teen issues.  Our teen time travel book series explores these and other teen issues and offers options and alternatives that are available and follows them through to an acceptable conclusion.
     Bottom line, we believe that teens today could use some role models who use their intellect and logic to deal with real-life issues.  With team work and sacrifice, they can overcome obstacles, figure out the problem and work to solve the mystery. And no zombies, vampires or superheroes were harmed in the process!

     Teens have plenty of options for escapism.  We're offering them a fun way to deal with the real issues in their lives.

There is strong paranormal element in the CUL8R stories. What does that do to help set the stage or move the story along?

     In Hollywood terminology, “It’s Back to the Future” meets “90210”.
     We wanted the reason our teen time travel travelers risked their lives to time travel to the unknown would be something as important as saving someone's life, not something as frivolous as an accidental time travel event for personal gain.
     We wanted to keep the overarching humor of today’s teens dealing with being adults in a time that they had only heard of from their grandparents or their history books. We used the paranormal influences to provide a personal reason and to make it  important and worthy enough for young teen to risk their lives to right whatever wrong they have discovered.
     To make it more believable, we involved some of the actual history as well as some of the rumors about Thomas Edison who was a winter resident in Fort Myers, Florida near Fort Myers Beach where the CUL8R Series takes place.

RAMBLING BEHIND THE SCENES
[The font is small for a reason...most parents can't read this small font!]

Just a reminder we are always seeking relevant important teen issues for our teen time travel book series.   If you have teen time travel destination ideas or issues facing teens today that can be incorporated into the book series let us know.  Kelly has her own email at kelly@cul8rseries.com.  There's a reward [much bigger than a free book and not as big as the entire book series] for winning this one.  Keep in mind when they teen time travel back in the book to make it a best selling teen time travel work of fiction the four teens will need clothes [we'll figure that out] that make them fit in, money or a way to earn money [we got that covered as you already saw in the first book] and the ability to speak the language.  It isn't easy packing for a trip to before you were even born.

Please don's ask us to teen time travel back to the dark ages at any time in the book series.  We're never going to write  a book about teen time travel to deal with vampires.  In fact we'll never write a book about zombies, a book about superheros, a book about spider teen or a book about super teen or a book about 90% of what passes for good fiction these days.  Our book series is all about smart teens and with great personalities who can operate independent in life and without a helicopter parent within 20 years of them!  Our book series has the same four teens as lead characters.  As you read each teen time travel book in the book series you may be missing the clues [set-up] for future books!  Several readers have gone back to re-read the first book OMG. 

And two final things.  First, Kathy Clark, the creative spirit behind the CUL8R time travel book series, has written 23 romance and women's fiction novels in her career before this series.  She has sold well over 3 million of them worldwide in 11 languages.  So if your parents want to know, this book series contains no explicit sex but teens will be teens and there is and will always be tension between teens in this book series or any book series.  The book series will always be dipped in reality, both today and yesterday, whenever that is or was or will be...whatever.  Second, she does have another book series, a fiction book series titled Denver After Dark.  It is adult fiction with a splash of romance and this book series is not intended for teens.   There is no time travel involved except for the people who end up dead and their journey could be consider3ed time travel.  It's a t least a change in location.  The book series follows three brothers who are cops, foreman and a paramedic in Denver City.  It is up for a 2013 award for both Amazon and the Colorado Book Award. It is mentioned here to let you know she knows how to wrote a book series. 

We will also from time to time have free CUL8R book series giveaways as we launch new books in  book series.  Signup for the blog site or Kelly's tweets @kellycul8r .

BTW...we will show your name in the dedication of the book we base on your idea!  We figure if you're reading this you have a ton of friends and that they will all buy the book and make it a best selling teen book and it will be on all the best selling teen book lists.  That's the plan so get busy.  Our white board is full of ideas but we're not proud.  After all we let four teens take control of the entire CUL8R time travel mystery book series didn't we?

So back to the writing of theCUL8R time travel book series book #2, BRB.  Different places, different time, different teen issue, but all part of the teen book series. I figure we have another 10 books while they are still a teen and in high school.  The book series could easily continue on to college.  Then the teen partying gets serious!



We are proud to announce that book #1, OMG, of the CUL8R Time Travel Mystery Series was voted #1 Young Adult book by The Best Indie Book Award competition for 2013. The judges gave it their #1 ranking over 1,000's of entries.  We also received a Finalist sward in the 2013 Beverly Hills Book Awards!

Take part in our Time Travel Pole!  It's on our
Bob Kat Blog.

We try and keep an accurate count on the number of Time Travelers, Teen and otherwise, since December, 2012 that have joined us.  We must make sure everyone comes back safe and sound.
  

Stare at the time travel clock long enough and you will feel like you're traveling back in time.




Scott understands how time travel to the past works...sometimes Zoey or Kelly make the mistake of asking for an explanation.



And as Scott would explain keeping all the time continuum's on the same nano second is critical to a safe journey.






With all the time that's ever passed, time is of the essence for Kelly, Scott, Austin and Zoey.  And the victim.

Come see for yourself.
