The Road to Alexander by Jennifer Macaire - Book Blitz + Giveaway
The Road to Alexander
What do you do when the past becomes your future?
The year is 2089, and time-travelling journalist Ashley Riveraine gets a once in a lifetime opportunity to interview her childhood hero, Alexander the Great. She expects to come out with an award-winning article, but doesn’t count on Fate intervening.
Alexander mistakes Ashley for Persephone, goddess of the dead, and kidnaps her, stranding her in his own time. Being stuck 3000 years in the past with the man of her dreams wouldn’t be so bad if the scientists of the Time Institute hadn’t threatened to erase Ashley from existence if she changes history.
Ashley must now walk a tightrope, caught up in the cataclysmic events of the time, knowing what the future holds for the people she comes to love but powerless to do anything to influence it.
Join Ashley on her hilarious, bumpy journey into the past as she discovers where her place in history truly is…

Time travel, and why I wish I could do
it!
My favorite books seem to center around
history and science fiction, and what better way to combine the two than time
travel? If I could, really, time travel, I would like a TARDIS*, and be able to
visit different periods, starting with Egypt to see the pyramids being built,
then ancient Greece, to meet Aristotle! I'd love to see the Middle Ages as
well, visit France and England, then go
to Italy for the Renaissance. The druids and the Celts, the Aztecs, the Persian
Empire – all those things I'd love to be able to see when they were at their
glory. But instead, I'm stuck in the
present with libraries and the Internet in guise of a TARDIS!
Research is the backbone to any
historical novel, don't you think? I wrote a seven book series about Alexander
the Great and a time traveling journalist. Research was important to me because
I wanted the reader to feel as if they were immersed in another time and
culture. Ashley feels disconnected from reality, but it's the small details of
everyday life: how bread was baked, how prayers were said, what people used for
toothpaste, and how the soldiers bathed (her favorite part of the day), that
anchor her to her new surroundings.
From Alexander the Great's journey
through ancient Greece and Persia, I traced his army's movements, compared
documents, read extensively, and then spent almost a year making notes and
outlines.
*If you know the TV series, Doctor Who, you
know what a TARDIS is. Otherwise, just know that it's a machine that looks like
a police call box, and it travels through time! Oh, and it's bigger on the
inside!
