In the year AD 2754 there are no more history books. Instead, Historians travel back in time to attend historically significant events and report on them as they actually happened, not as traditional history has always told us they happened. Then they upload their reports to the Educator Database, which 28th century history teachers use to create and develop their course curriculum.
In this satire of 21st century America, our lives are being covertly observed by Historians from the year AD 2754. The future world population now lives in oceans across the globe and the time continuum, where they have no hunger, no countries, and no organized religion. They even, finally, designed a new world order to promote lasting peace. The Historians emerge from this world to join us on land, undercover.
A blunder by one of these Historians triggers a potentially disastrous alternate history. To repair this “anomaly” and return the time continuum and recorded history to its original state, 28th century world leaders gather an emergency team they dispatch to Washington, D.C. in AD 2021 to stop a disturbed individual from murdering an adolescent who is supposed to grow up to be a highly consequential historical figure. That blunder puts the boy’s life at risk and threatens the future of the world.

In 1536, Henry and Anne are at the mercy of influences outside their control, explosively incompatible, and caught in a marriage that ends in betrayal so shocking that Anne requires lifetimes to recover.
Henry, seemingly in defense of Anne (but more likely acting out of "stubborn perverseness," she observes), terrorizes England and decrees widespread political murder in order to protect her. Ultimately, to Anne's horror, this once passionate husband turns on her and has her executed as well.
Threads, a reincarnation fantasy, opens with Anne's execution. Her fury at her husband s betrayal has enough momentum to survive centuries, but in Threads she learns that she has been assigned a hard task: she must review their history together through a number of past lives and find it within herself to forgive him. This may prove difficult and take some time. The husband in question is Henry Tudor, the notorious Henry VIII. The narrator is the stubborn, volatile Anne Boleyn, who is not at all inclined to forgive. It is a very unusual love story.

In 1973 Holly meets and falls in love with Trevor, a roadie for a famous British rock and roll band. From that moment, Holly’s dreams of marriage, children, and a happy life are finally within her grasp.
Trevor takes her with him on tour and introduces her to the circus-like backstage world of Rock and Roll. When she steps onto the band bus, she walks into a colorful, exciting adventure in a world completely different from the life that awaits her back home, where she works at a low-paying job, chases cockroaches with a shoe, and sleeps to escape the hunger.
On the bus she is almost immediately tested and forced to publicly declare what matters to her most in a partner. Is it money and fame? Or love, with none of the above?
Holly is tested again when a member of the band develops feelings for her. He is Trevor’s childhood friend, often sought after because of his wealth and fame, just as Holly is sought after only for her looks.
When his feelings for Holly suddenly and very publicly come to light, they all must grapple with what will become, not a love “triangle,” but a love “circle” that threatens to break all of their hearts.
