Book Beginnings + Friday 56: Sticks and Stone (The True Lies of Rembrandt Stone #3) by David James Warren

Book Beginnings is a weekly meme hosted by Rose City Reader that asks you to share the first sentence (or so) of the book you're reading. Friday 56 is hosted by Freda's Voice and asks you to grab a book (any book), turn to page 56 or 56% in your ereader and share a non-spoilery sentence or two.

This week I'm featuring Sticks and Stone (The True Lies of Rembrandt Stone #3) by David James Warren. This time travel suspense series just keeps getting better and better!

About the Book
Third Time’s The Charm … Or Not

Rembrandt Stone has only made things worse. This time, upon his return, he discovers his closest friendship is up in flames. Andrew Burke’s new scars reflect the havoc Rembrandt has left on his own timeline and he must go back—one last trip into the past. This time he'll save Burke, fix his life and track down a serial killer who possess an uncanny ability to evade him through time.

When Rembrandt lands in the past and two children disappear into an epic Minneapolis blizzard, he's in a race with time to save the children, his partner, and create a future he can live with.

Sticks and Stone—the third book in the gripping True Lies of Rembrandt Stone series—starts sprinting on page one and doesn’t slow down till the final words.

Hold onto your head...and your heart.

The continuing adventures of Rembrandt Stone from the creative minds of James L. Rubart, Susan May Warren and newcomer David Curtis Warren, writing as DAVID JAMES WARREN.

Book Beginnings
The pieces of two lives sit in my brain like they should fit together, but no matter how hard I press, I can't get them to line up.

Friday 56
"Wishes and what-ifs don't change things. The only thing that matters is right now. What you choose is who you are, and the future you're writing. Get that right and you don't have to worry about the what-ifs."

  1. Thanks for sharing about the authors. I've heard of pairs of people writing together, but never three. I'm curious how they do it. Sounds like a good series.
