New Book Release: Arrow Through the Heart of Time - by Raymond White

 

Find it on Amazon HERE

Arrow Through the Heart of Time is a blend of contemporary romance, time travel, and metaphysical fiction shrouded in a forbidden love affair. It’s a story that follows a fallen psychiatrist and his mysterious patient as they race against time to confront and come to terms with an eternal bond neither of them understands—one that spans several lifetimes, is plagued by multiple failed attempts to find true love, and defies logic.

Dr. Romeo Carrington, a highly regarded Manhattan psychiatrist, has lost everything: his daughter, his marriage, and his identity. Entering alcohol rehab more broken than alive, Rome stumbles upon hypnotherapy as both a lifeline and a revelation where his own recovery is concerned. It's there he encounters a fellow patient, Emily Best—a former elite New York City escort with whom he's had a brief, failed, intimate encounter years ago, but who likely has no recollection of him.

Although they never speak at rehab, their connection reignites, as before long, and seemingly by coincidence, when Rome's colleague is unavailable to treat Emily on an emergency mental health visit, she becomes his patient, presenting with suicidal ideations thought to be brought on by a traumatic life now wrapped in substance withdrawal.

Traditional medicine can't help her, though. Any medication Rome tries is ineffective, pushing her closer to her breaking point as Rome incurs her rage for failing her. As a last resort he uses hypnosis to help ease her severe depression and anxiety, which is not only successful but shockingly gives rise to a series of spontaneous past life regressions, opening a strange portal to multiple shattered relationships between the two of them over time.

Arrow Through the Heart of Time has been described as:

“Ray White opened a human soul, not merely a story.”

“Portraying grief, remorse, and the frantic need for atonement with such unadulterated emotion from the first time we saw Dr. Romeo Carrington”.

“Every moment seemed intimate because of the writing.”

“The way the author examined forgiveness—not only from others but also from oneself—was what most impressed me.”

“The characters have depth and emotion, and (the) work is poetic without ever losing its sense of reality.”

“I'm grateful for this amazing journey. This is more than just a book; it’s a lifeline, and I'm so happy I got to experience it."

"I just couldn’t put it down."

About the author:

Ray White is a novelist, lawyer, and lifelong student of mystical phenomena, now living in Richmond, VA.

As an attorney in New York, Ray focused on trial work related to entertainment, criminal, and family law matters. He eventually advanced to an executive role with the National Institute for Trial Advocacy when it was headquartered at the Notre Dame Law School, where he was also a part of the institute's trial skills faculty. In fact, he has taught trial skills throughout the US, as he and his family have lived in all four mainland time zones - from Charlottesville and Earlysville, VA; to Tucson, AZ; to South Bend, IN; to New York City and upstate to Albany; and now to Richmond where he promises to settle down and do nothing but write novels and stay out of trouble.

Ray describes his greatest non-writing professional achievement as trying a national precedent setting murder case, and his greatest professional disappointment occurred when he learned Johnny Cash already helped make 'I've Been Everywhere Man' popular before Ray had a chance to write it.

Yay! Chi Warrior is now available on Amazon and everywhere else, in print and eBook.

This is the beginning of a new science fiction fantasy series with romantic elements, THE PROTECTORS. It is set on a post-apocalyptic feudal planet devastated by a natural cataclysm. There will be three novels in this series, all standalones, with different protagonists for each book, and a few returning secondary characters.

Here is the blurb for CHI WARRIOR:

Anila, peaceful warrior woman, trained all her life in the desert, at the monastery of the Celestial Gate, to take the vows of the mighty Protectors. That’s all she’s ever known, all she ever wanted. But a cloud of black wings haunts her nightmares.

When a barbarian horde invades from the north, Bayor Khan seems unstoppable, determined to destroy everything in his path. Rumors of his cruelty make the most powerful princes tremble in their stone fortresses.

Anila is pulled into the inevitable clash as a prophecy unfolds, blurring the lines between good and evil, testing her resolve. Nothing is as it seems… An ancient enemy rises in the shadows, and the falling darkness threatens to engulf Anila and everyone she loves.

REVIEW by Victoria Chatham

If you like strong female characters, then you will not be disappointed with Anila, the protagonist in Vijaya Schartz's latest book. Anila is in training at a monastery under the watchful gaze of Master Wang. She diligently practices her Tai-Chi routines and perfects her weapons training as her dearest wish is to join the ranks of the mysterious Protectors. However, she cannot escape the promise and prophecy of her destiny and is drawn into conflicts not of her making. In discovering how she overcomes those who would use rather than celebrate her, we see her grow into a formidable but fair potential leader.

Schartz has splendidly blended fact, fiction, and fantasy into an enthralling, fast-paced story that I could not put down. Fans of this genre and Schartz in particular will not be disappointed.

About the author:

Genevieve Marshall was born with a wanderlust for adventure and the unknown. As a single female traveler, she found that her lack of fear and deep desire to explore has kept her on the move most of her life.

When the world came to a standstill at the beginning of 2020, she found herself still traveling, but in a whole different way. VIRTUALLY. Every day, she would explore new cities, villages, towns and countries on the internet. Even after 60 years of travel, she became fascinated with many places that she had never heard of before. She was hooked.

“I should write about my stories and publish a book for my family and friends to read”, she thought. With time on her hands, she wrote and published her first book in 2022. To her amazement, everyone was thrilled with her collection of "Unexpected Adventures". They asked for more. With that, "MORE Unexpected Adventures" was born in 2024.

A novel began to brew in her head in 2023. She spent months asking friends, family and strangers how much they would make a Blank Check out for. To her surprise, the idea sparked conversations, intrigue and continued fascination. She soon found herself writing endlessly, spending countless hours on telling the story. By 2025, her very first novel was completed.

A collection of Lined Journals was also created in 2024 to allow creative juices, thoughts and more to be poured onto their delightful pages.

She lives with her husband in Arizona.
