    About this ebook

    The special jukebox inside the Garden Lounge takes a listener back through time to the memory from a song. But sometimes that memory can be deadly for the time traveler.

    And time-loops do exist, even in the Garden Lounge.

    A twisted-through-time love story by USA Today bestselling writer Dean Wesley Smith.

    Bestselling author Dean Wesley Smith has written more than one hundred popular novels and hundreds published short stories. His novels include the science fiction novel Laying the Music to Rest and the thriller The Hunted as D.W. Smith. With Kristine Kathryn Rusch, he is the coauthor of The Tenth Planet trilogy and The 10th Kingdom. He writes under many pen names and has also ghosted for a number of top bestselling writers.

    Dean has also written books and comics for all three major comic book companies, Marvel, DC, and Dark Horse, and has done scripts for Hollywood. One movie was actually made.

    Over his career he has also been an editor and publisher, first at Pulphouse Publishing, then for VB Tech Journal, then for Pocket Books.

    Currently, he is writing thrillers and mystery novels under another name.

      I tucked my hands inside my bar apron in a useless attempt to cut down the wind chill. The cold December wind cut across the open meadow to my right and through the dark pine trees above me, driving small crystals of snow into my face. In the on-again, off-again moonlight I could see the figure ahead moving through the brush. His name was Pete Hansen. Tall and thin, with broad shoulders and short-cut, blond hair that almost shone in the dim light. Tonight, he didn’t seem to even notice the cold or the wind. I suppose it was because he knew he was about to die again.
