Bessemer, Alabama, Author Publishes New Novel

"Death, Dying, and the Time Traveler," a new book by Ray Foster, has been released by RoseDog Books.

"Death, Dying, and the Time Traveler" is a collection of short stories. These stories are told by the Time Traveler, who is sent to Earth from another universe.

The Time Traveler was genetically created to be Caucasian. As he grows up, his makeup has gradually changed and he has become a man of color.

When Madonna, the commander-in-chief of the high council of Alexis, the planet that sent the Time Traveler to Earth, returns years later and transports the Time Traveler aboard his space vessel, he is baffled by these unbelievable stories. During his journey through life on Earth, the Time Traveler was always confronted with death and dying. He has experienced the depths of human sufferance, and there are no great stories of glory to be told.

The Time Traveler questions man's existence on Earth and explores three temptations that have led to his failure here.

Madonna and his council must decide the fate of the Time Traveler. Will he return to Earth and fulfill his destiny or return to Alexis with Madonna?

These are the Time Traveler's thrilling stories of the past, chilling stories of the present, and shocking stories of the future.
