Description
Award-winning writer Juliana Rew begins a new science fiction/fantasy epic spanning space and time
Korean-American housewife Virginia Sun-Jones and her husband are enjoying a Christmas picnic on the North Carolina beach with their newly married daughter and son-in-law, when a shattering cosmic event, the "Unwinding," rips them all apart. Caught in a duel between warring universes, Gin embarks on a cosmic quest to be reunited with her family.
Virginia Sun-Jones would be the first to tell you that riding a whiskered Korean water dragon as transport is not for everyone. But ever since the Unwinding scattered her family, she's followed a breadcrumb trail of clues, hoping to find them. Gin can't shake the feeling that with recent events the universe has a personal interest in what's been happening to her, as she discovers special quantum abilities and ventures away from this tiny haven known as Earth. With the aid of an time-traveling civilization known as the Watchmen, she fights a despotic galactic emperor seeking to destroy our universe. Gin's Story is an exciting mystery adventure full of twists, disappointments, and triumphs.

Advance Praise
Exceptional writing, in readability, coherence, scope of the story. WOW! Goes beyond the Universe into the multiverse with great world-building and characters. (Beta reader comment)
"The cosmic perspective offers the opportunity for metaphysical speculation. Descriptions are deftly handled, with details enabling the reader to grasp some of the ideas of quantum mechanics." (Odyssey Workshop critique)
"As the story progresses, it turns out to be a time-travel plot at some point. I enjoyed that you used the universe's AI assistant as the means with which Virginia finds out and get hints toward her situation." (Beta reader comment)
