<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>One moment San Francisco police officer Dani Barsetti is chasing a suspect through an apartment building. The next moment she wakes up in a completely different place and time. It's the twenty-third century--at least that's what she's being told by a group of scientists who aren't at all happy to see her. Their agent, a man sent back in time to kill a dangerous terrorist, has been killed by the terrorist instead. So now the scientists are proposing to send Dani back in time to finish the job. <p/> It sounds great to Dani, who only wants to get home. Except for one thing--her trip into the future has totally erased her from the past. Her wife Gemma doesn't know her. Her parents and siblings have never met her. And the police force has no record of her. <p/> Could she start over? Could Gemma fall in love with her all over again? Dani has only two weeks to find out before she must return to the future. But is two weeks long enough to fall in love? Or is it only long enough to say goodbye...<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>Time travel stories have to be very well written for me to enjoy them, with plausible explanations for the ability to shift between centuries or decades, and at the same time the right stretch of the imagination for how the future (or past) would look. I'm pleased to report that Erased has all of that, and more. What set this apart from other time travel novels is the way McCoy explored the sometimes heart-wrenching emotion of Dani not being recognized by a single person she knew. The action element of it was entertaining...Highly recommended.--<strong>Rainbow Book Reviews</strong><br><br>McCoy has written transitions between present and future skillfully while executing technical explanations which are easy to digest. As the story comes to its final conclusion, there is a satisfying resolution to each aspect of the narrative. Erased is a well-crafted story; even those who don't normally like science fiction or time travel tales will enjoy this cleverly written book.--<strong>Lambda Literary Review</strong><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>Robbi McCoy is a native Californian whose list of publications includes poems, short stories, magazine and newspaper articles. She has worked as a reporter for <i>Lodi Life</i> and <i>Times Magazine</i> and as a contributing editor to <i>PC Hands On</i>. She is the creator of several story-based computer games, such as <i>Alice in Wonderland</i>, which can now be considered "vintage," or maybe just old.
