In the third leg of the Arkansas Traveler trilogy, time traveler Dr. Melvin Napier has the chance to kill the man who will invent a devastating disease. Partnering with Sam Adams—not the patriot or the beer—the two physicians soon learn that hard-core criminal behavior is about as easy as finding Pop-Tarts in 1925. After one James Bond villianesque plan fails after another, their final resort is a much older technique—one they're sure to screw up.
Join the fun in this witty, irreverent murder mystery that's not a whodunit but a will-they-ever-get-it-done?
Warning: This novel contains smoking, drinking, salty words in two languages, and disappointingly poor knowledge of boating mechanics.
Where You Can Find It
The second installment of the Arkansas Traveler series finds happily-married Dr. Melvin Napier boarding a plane—a plane destined to crash over fifty years in the past. Stranded and injured in 1950 Little Rock, Melvin keeps his identity quiet as he works to return to all he holds dear: a wife, two sons, and chocolate Pop-Tarts.
But when rumors spread that a good-looking, single young doctor has arrived in the small Southern city, Melvin's problems have only just begun. Sally Davis, his unfiltered, snarky, next-door neighbor, will stop at nothing to make him fall in love with her, including deceit, fake-dating, and some light breaking and entering. The only thing she won't do is reveal her most guarded secret.
Join us on this captivating journey as Melvin fights his way back to his one true love. Or has he found another?

Meet Stanley Westfield, a boy from the little town of Sugarfield whose dream is to become an Ophthalmologist. Worried he won't get into med school, he borrows the ID of a drunken slacker and takes the med school entrance exam as a practice run before retaking it under his real name.
Now, he's a 1st-year medical student and the owner of the second highest med school entrance exam score in history. This would have been awesome if he hadn't accidentally given Melvin Napier, AKA, the slacker, THE highest score ever recorded.
Suddenly famous, Melvin is pressured to attend med school and fulfill his enormous potential. With nothing better to do, he decides to give it a whirl. After all, how hard could it be?
But the chances of history's two highest scores coming from two boys from the same small town are less than zero, and the Undergraduate Dean of Medicine isn't fooled. He's sure they cheated. He just isn't sure how—not yet.
Join us in this light-hearted adventure as Stanley juggles the rigors of med school, staying one step ahead of the Dean and keeping a complete slacker from exposing it all.
