Imagine a world
without pepperoni pizza . . .
When young Arthur of Camelot accidentally time-travels to the 21st century and Googles himself, he discovers the not-so-happily ever after in store for him once he pulls the sword from the stone. Yes, he’ll go from squire to sovereign basically overnight, but he’ll also lose the love of his life to his best friend and eventually die in battle. What’s a once-and-future king to do? Easy: stay in the future, where he’ll actually have a future—and join the football team instead. Unfortunately, this kind of puts a crimp in the universe’s timeline.
Now,
with the help of the great wizard Merlin, modern-day gamer-geeks Sophie and Stu
travel back to Camelot and find themselves in a race against time to get that
sword pulled from the stone and the stubborn soon-to-be-king Arthur back to the
past where he belongs. Complicating the plan? Lady Morgana—Arthur’s sister and
greatest enemy—has traveled to the future as well, determined to take Arthur
out and seize the throne. Can Sophie and Stu use their gaming abilities to
defeat the evil Morgana and set the timeline right? With the very existence of
their friendship, their families, and the world as they know it (including
pepperoni pizza!) at stake, they’ll use every skill, power-up, and cheat code
they know in their quest to save the day.
And here's the AMAZING cover...

What a clever story line, and original! I'm an Arthur/Merlin fan, (traditional story) but this sounds so appealing!
Thanks Elizabeth! I am a huge Arthurian fan as well (my daughter's name is Avalon even!) which inspired this book!! It was so much fun to write!!
