We Have More To Do
Pocket Watch Portals: The Timekeeper’s Revenge follows four siblings into an enchanted realm, who need to fix the time rift they accidentally created before the vengeful Timekeeper destroys every world. What was the inspiration for the setup of your story?
When I received the 1st book in the series, Pocket Watch Portal Adventure, my 3-year-old grandson Artie came to me with alligator tears, telling me, “I wasn’t done with us, we have more to do!” He started telling me about the fairy princess named Misty, and how she needs them to come back and save not only their realm but all realms. He described it as needing a “white Dragon,” later becoming the snow dragon, Erithon. and a unicorn, later named Ethel. The King & Queen, with the people of that realm, needed help to bind up the timekeeper due to the kids breaking the rules of time travel.
This book explores the consequences of time travel. Why was that important to include?
Thought about the fact that time travel would affect anything after that point and change things. So I kept this in line with the first story to show that if you don’t follow the rules, whether it be time travel or any rule, it has consequences.
Kindness plays a big role in solving problems. Was that a core theme from the beginning?
Kindness and all the core values are a part of Christian living, even though the mythical creatures and the time travel, I wanted to continue to show those values to my grandkids and the readers.
Will we see more adventures with these characters?
Absolutely, We are working on the 3rd & 4th story in the series.

Pocket Watch Portal Adventure: The Timekeepers Revenge
Pocket Watch Portals follows Justice, Teddy, Ellie, and little Artie as they get pulled back into a magical realm after a strange storm hits their grandparents’ ranch. A fairy named Misty appears and explains that their past adventures accidentally caused a dangerous rift in time. Soon the kids, along with the always-dramatic Uncle Jeff, are flying on clouds, meeting dragons, riding unicorns, and scrambling to collect a powerful crystal and a legendary flower to stop the terrifying Timekeeper from returning. The story builds into a huge battle full of fairies, dragons, unicorns, and a very panicked Uncle Jeff trying to save the day.
The writing is playful and full of little jokes that made me grin. Artie’s sweet mispronounced words melted me, and Teddy’s wild confidence cracked me up. I kept wanting to nudge Justice to relax because he tries so hard to act responsible while everything around him just gets stranger and stranger. The whole thing gave me that warm, nostalgic feeling of childhood summer adventures that always got just a bit out of hand, and I liked that the world felt colorful and soft even when the stakes were high.
I didn’t expect a children’s book to dive into the consequences of time travel in such a fun way, and I liked how each kid had a specific role in fixing the problem. Teddy bonding with the giant snow dragon might be my favorite moment. It felt so pure. The book really leans into magic as something alive and emotional, not just flashy, and I found myself weirdly touched by how often kindness solves the problem rather than power. Even Uncle Jeff’s chaotic bravery felt genuine and sweet.
I’d totally recommend The Timekeeper’s Revenge for kids who love fantasy worlds, magical creatures, silly humor, and quick adventures that never sit still. It’s also great for adults who enjoy lighthearted stories that feel like stepping back into childhood for a bit.
