The Great Time Lock Disaster

| AMAZON |
No YouTube, no smoothies, no Manga. Not ever again. Not unless Pete figures out how to reverse his spell and free Weasel and him from Victorian England.
He has until the next full moon. Only a few days.
Tick. Tock.
He has until the next full moon. Only a few days.
Tick. Tock.
Here’s how the story starts, and it only gets worse:
One minute the clock was tick-tocking on the mantel and the next it was a smoldering mess.
“No,” Harriet shouted. Then she braced one hand on her desk and covered her eyes with the other.
Pete froze, not blinking, not breathing, but waiting to see if Harriet would point one of her long, bony fingers at him and turn him into a turnip or something slimy.

To celebrate the launch of The Great Time Lock Disaster I'm giving 20 eBooks away. Hope you'll jump in to the copter and go for a ride!
Usually, C. Lee takes on modern issues that today's teens face in their daily lives. Her first young adult novel, Sliding on the Edge, which dealt with cutting and suicide was published in 2009. Her second, titled The Princess of Las Pulgas, dealing with a family who loses everything and must rebuild their lives came out in 2010. Double Negative (2014) was her third young adult novel. Researching it turned her into a literacy advocate. Her fourth YA, Sudden Secrets came out in December 2014.
When she really want to have FUN, she writes middle grade books. Alligators Overhead and The Great Time Lock Disaster are now available.

My review:
Ten year old Jimmy just lost another tooth, and that’s not all he loses that night. He loses the illusion that the Tooth Fairy is tiny, cute, and sweet. But did he really see what he thinks or did he imagine it?
Jeff Chapman does an excellent job making Jimmy realistic with the typical problems of a kid, like being laughed at when he admits he saw the tooth fairy. He has worse problems, too, in the shape of two older boys who are bullying him. Chapman weaves the disparate threads of the story together to create a tapestry of creepiness that will stay with you long after you finish the short story. I loved his main character and how he gave an old fairy tale a new twist. (I never trusted fairies anyway!) This is a scary-but-not-too-scary story with a great ending. I loved it!

I did that once, that bathroom thing. Then there was an earthquake and a tsunami and all kinds of messes in Japan...
I haven't even gone back in a bathroom since then.
LOL... awesome reason to celebrate. My husband does the bathroom too... I tell him I can't do it because the chemical affect my asthma:)
You know Lexa, you just topped the "laughing minions." I figured it would take a while to accomplish that particular feat. You, like the husband it would seem, are full of surprises. I have stumbled upon the greatest blog-hop ever... Well, I knew that before the minions, but this...
Oh - does he have a brother?(smile)
Hehe, yes I can see why you want to celebrate! I think Lee's book sounds great, will have to get myself a copy.
Husband cleaning a bathroom? Oh yes, celebrate!
I'm a first participator, but I don't have post up. I did place your button on my Blog Hop Page, though. :D I celebrate DH clearing the driveway yesterday after getting 6" of snow on Wednesday night. I celebrate that the temperatures got to 40° yesterday, which made DH's job a bit easier. I especially celebrate that it's FRIDAY!!! Let the weekend begin! ;)
Hahaaaa...thanks for the morning chuckle. I needed that!!!
That is definitely something to celebrate! I love it when my partner helps to clean the house, though it doesn't happen very often!
Enjoy the clean bathroom that you didn't have to clean!!
AWESOME!
Have a great weekend!!
Congratulations, Lee!
Do you really want us to clean the bathroom? We can't do it to your standards anyway.
Wow. How did you manage to get him to do that??? I think I'd go in there and sit for a bit and just stare at the clean and feel good about life :)
Congratulations, Lee! I can't wait to read it.
Hooray for your husband! Maybe my Sweetie will catch it and caulk the bathroom with the caulk he bought over a month ago.
Time disaster stories always fascinate me, mostly because i can think of a few things i'd love to change if i could go back.
Yey! Go hubby! Mine is generally good with housey stuff, but bathrooms and kitchens he tends to ignore. My pet hate is leaving damp towels on the bed - GRRR!
Some brill FREEBIEs and giveaways again. Congrats to Lee! Looks great.
Have a great weekend :)

LOL! I think my husband has only cleaned the bathroom once or twice. He's better at dusting and vacuuming though.
What a nice husband you have.
Congratulations to C. Lee. The book is on my TBR list.
My husband's bathroom is always clean. However, I have seldom seen him clean it. My feeling is that it is done by fairies in the middle of the night. I wish they would come and clean mine.
ha! that is a huge deal, enjoy the clean bathroom while it lasts! :) and huge congrats to C.Lee , so happy to see her around the blog-o-sphere :)
YOUR HUSBAND CLEANED THE BATHROOM.!! ARRRRGHHHHHH! Heh. Funny how it's the little things in life that make us so happy. :)
And congrats to C. Lee.
Wow! That's amazing and definitely worth a record or a medal! Go, husband unit! :)
And, go C.Lee! - love those opening lines!
I'm so glad you highlighted Jeff's book - Give Me Your Teeth is delightful fun!
some more encouragement for him and he'll probably do it again,
Go Hubby!
On another blog that mentioned The Great Time Lock Disaster, all the comments focused on the "turn him into a turnip" line. I'm not sure why. But obviously the grand happening of your husband cleaning the bathroom trumps anyone being turned into a turnip.
LOL-my hubby will clean the bathroom but what I am happy about is that he always puts the toilet seat down! Congrats lee on the book
Well that is definitely something to celebrate! You think he'd come over here and show my partner what to do?
If my husband cleaned, I'd probably drop dead of shock. That's definitely something worth celebrating!
Thanks for the great laugh, Lexa! I needed it.
Yeah! Awesome that your husband cleaned the bathroom. Definitely something to be excited about. Heck- I would be happy if anyone else cleaned my bathroom besides me. :)
So excited for Lee's book!
Happy weekend-
~Jess
That's awesome your husband cleaned the bathroom :)
Does your husband give lessons?
Wow.
I don't even know what to say to that, except wow!
Based on your reaction, I'd say your husband cleaning the bathroom is no small thing.
Woo hoo! Hooray for clean bathrooms! And congrats to C. Lee :)
I can relate to this, only that it would be miraculous if the one cleaning the bathroom were me. :)
I keep putting off cleaning the bathroom in hopes my husband will clean it. I really need to give up that dream, because now it REALLY needs cleaned. :P
Have a great weekend!
What I want to know is why do they need us to tell them when it's dirty? Lately mine's taken on the kitchen. I cook, and he cleans..Love it! Kudos to Lee and her 4th book :)
I loved Lee's book.
Yay for clean bathrooms and having a husband who cleaned it.
Hi Lexa,
Always a delight to see a mention of the amazing yet humble, C.Lee. You realise I'm her starstruckest fan!
I'm celebrating escaping the bathroom. Spent more time in there recently than I care to mention. I must um, runs now....
Gary :)
Ha ha! Congratulations on getting your husband to clean the bathroom!
I hope you've had a wonderful weekend :)
Thanks for including Give Me Your Teeth in Foxy Freebies. The Time Lock Disaster sounds intriguing.
OMG, what a funny post about the hubs cleaning the bathroom. And so true-cause for celebration.
Now see, you should have pictures of that clean bathroom. That way you'll remember just how much you love him in a few weeks. :-)
Thanks for posting about The Great Time Lock Disaster. Love that the boys are visiting Egypt. Hey, that could be their next adventure.
Oh goodness, haha. Guess he's not big about helping out around the house? Well at least you have this one time to cherish. ;)
My boyfriend NEVER cleans the bathroom. Sometimes, I wonder what he did before I moved in. Probably still never cleaned the bathroom!
Congrats to Lee for her new release! I know it will be a fantastic. I read Sudden Secrets last month and loved it!
Wow my partner cleaned the bathroom as well this weekend. She does it more often (five times a year) but it still is a cause for celebration.
Lee's book sounds awesome!
Dang, I hope your husband recovers from his nasty flu. Because obviously he has a bad one. LOL. Oops, you're probably hoping he doesn't heal too quickly.
How did you get him to do that? Write it down. Wives everywhere will want to know. ;)
Congrats to C. Lee!
