Evan West lives, breathes and exists for everything film. His heart beats at 24 frames per second. He aspires to be much more than a film trailer editor, but he’s lucky to live and work in Hollywood. When Evan crashes into a telephone pole one night, he’s thrust into a temporal vortex — and suddenly transported back to Hollywood in 1946 during the making of the beloved Christmas movie It’s a Wonderful Life. Despite his confusion about how he went back in history, he befriends Jimmy Stewart, which leads to a job with director Frank Capra and to Dorothy Paige, the soul mate he could never find in his own time. Evan also meets Dr. William Cooper (Coop), a brilliant scientist and fellow time traveler who worked for Nikola Tesla in 1899. Can they save the film from being defiled by a greedy studio mogul and protect this timeless classic? When Evan and Coop both notice alarming physical and psychological changes, they know they must leave 1946 ... or die trying. Will they remain trapped in the 1940s , or can they solve the problem of time travel and escape back to their own time? If so, how can Evan leave the love of his life? Don’t miss this spectacular story of obsession, love, courage and adventure during the Golden Age of Hollywood. "A satisfying, exciting ride back to post-WWII Hollywood. Jimmy Stewart's character comes alive from the page. Reading It's A Wonderful Time reminds me how much I miss him." — Rich Little, Hollywood Legend "If you've never been to Hollywood, this is your chance to see not only what it is but what it was and still should be from the comfort of your favorite chair. The sights, sounds, heart, soul and even smells of the good old days come alive on every page, paragraph and sentence. In a word ... it's Wonderful!" — John Schneider, Actor in The Dukes of Hazard, Smallville and Poker Run "Since I was child, Frank Capra's It's A Wonderful Life has been watched every Christmas in my home. It is still a cherished tradition. I expect It's A Wonderful Time to be such a classic. It uses time travel to reexamine the post-war Capra film with today's eyes, and is written with lots of humor and charm. It's A Wonderful Time comes just in time — we all need to be reminded of both the progress and decline our society is going through." — Robert Davi, Actor in Die Hard, License to Kill and The Goonies "I loved this idea as a script 20 years ago when I first read it. I'm thrilled to see it coming back in book form reuniting two of my favorite films of all time — Back to the Future and It's a Wonderful Life. This is a book for film lovers to fall in love all over again as they go back in time to these classics." — Doug Claybourne, Film Producer of The Fast and The Furious, The Mask of Zoro and War of The Roses "Hop into Evan West's 1938 Ford Coupe on a wild ride to Hollywood's Golden Age as Evan tries to save the classic film from cunning scoundrels. You'll walk studio backlots with Jimmy Stewart, tag along to glitzy parties, and try to keep up during breathtaking chases. Life is even more wonderful with a pinch of time travel thrown in!" — Margaret McConnell, editor and publishing professional "Combining the elements of noir, heist, time travel, and the golden era of Hollywood, the authors take the reader on a journey to post World War II when America saved the world from the clutches of the axis of evil and was about to reach her full potential. It's a Wonderful Time is fun, clever and a great read!" —Marshall Terrill, Author of 27 books, including best-selling biographies of Steve McQueen, Elvis Presley, Billy Graham, Johnny Cash and Pete Maravich "Mesmerizing time-traveling Hollywood novel effortlessly transports you to yesteryear, then makes you never want to leave." —Adam Novak, author of Rat Park and Take Fountain "I thoroughly enjoyed It's a Wonderful Time.
