My novel, JAKE HOWARD: MULTIVERSE 101, is a sci-fi/fantasy set in Upstate New York in 1997. Here is a quick blurb about it:When Jake was in ninth grade he discovered a mysterious portal while on a field trip that was going in a flash but the image never left his memory.Now, in 1997, Jake is about to start his Junior year at the State University of New York (SUNY) New Paltz when he meets Beth. Beth is brooding, mysterious and about to shatter poor Jake's perception of the universe when he finds out she has a link to that portal...I set it in and around my hometown of Wallkill and New Paltz NY and there are a bunch of 90's music and pop culture references. The link will be below (it's available in paperback, Kindle and Audible) but I will also attach a link to the "Soundtrack" I made on Spotify:Amazon link: https://amzn.to/37O3GzbSpotify link: https://spoti.fi/38uPBpuAs always, thank you.
