Gunsmith

Boothenay Irons is a modern day gunsmith with the power of time travel when handling an antique weapon.

Boothenay Irons possesses a mysterious power that allows her to go back in time and experience the history held within an antique gun. This time it's a 1911 Colt .45 Automatic and it has a mysterious power of its own. When Boothenay's fiance, Caleb, picked up the gun he immediately vanished and found himself in the midst of World War I. His only chance to return to the modern world is through Boothenay's extraordinary power. She must go back to 1911, find Caleb and bring him back. Boothenay is escorted back to 1911 by a mysterious old man whose power is equal to her own, but she is suspicious of the man and tries to solve the mystery about him while looking for Caleb.

Boothenay Irons is a most unusual gunsmith who is accustomed to the mysterious power within the antique guns in which she deals. That power is a catalyst, able to carry her into the past. What she isn't prepared for is a time-traveler from the future named Teagun Dill in need of her expertise. Dill kidnaps her and thrusts her forward in time. He needs her help to fight an outlaw gang who has taken over the Dill family's Crossroad Hotel. His promise to help her return to her own time causes her to consider her plight as well as his. Stranded and angry, unable to utilize her own power, Boothenay finds she must help create a future, instead of relive the past.

This time, even without seeing a gun, gunsmith Boothenay Irons knows something terrible is going to happen.

After a disastrous foul up in Boothenay's latest time-travel adventure, her long-time love, a traveler himself, has called their relationship quits. And, as if getting dumped isn't bad enough, she and her dog McDuff are inadvertently kidnapped, hijacked away to an alternate America that for all her extra abilities she never guessed existed. Boothenay soon finds herself embroiled in a strange mixture of family feud, political brouhaha and the fight over ownership of an immensely valuable energy source that powers everything from guns to airships in this world. But Boothenay's troubles aren't over yet. Apparently Bivet is the only one who can take her home, and now he's gone missing too, captured by Crowner forces. She teams up with Milo and Kellen, their troubles escalating as they're hounded by the enemy until finally, in a desperate battle between Crowners and Boothenay and the Tatrov brothers, the threesome rescues Bivet. However, now that Boothenay's way home is ensured, she's not so happy about leaving after all. She needs to know if something is growing between her and Kellen. And really, after her last adventure, it didn't appear her family was terribly glad when she turned up. A lot of problems-oh, call them troubles-appeared in the wake of her last time-traveling fiasco. Too much for her family to keep handling. Yet duty calls. When Bivet recovers from his wounds, he takes her back through the veil. As a precaution, he says he'll wait one hour. If all is well, this is the end of everything. Boothenay arrives home, only to find her father dead, her brother no longer welcoming. Now her first romance has fizzled out, nothing awaits her there that compares with old-time motor carriages, lightning spewing guns-and the enigmatic Kellen Tatrov.
