If time travel was a reality throughout the galaxy, how do we hunt down and apprehend violators?

Book one, 'The Acolytes of Crane' (ISBN: 978-1482547580) was published in early 2013 and is a story about a boy who sees beyond himself and into the galaxy. The author wrote 'The Acolytes of Crane' to raise awareness of child abuse and encourage children to battle through difficult challenges.

'Molly's Moon' Author Ron Parham Releases New Thriller
by BWW News Desk - January 05, 2015
The stillness of the warm, Kentucky afternoon on Copperhead Cove is shattered by the echo of a high-powered rifle, sending the birds flying and two famous college basketball coaches to a watery grave. Their fishing guide, Bo Paxton, becomes collateral damage, thrashing through the murky waters of Quail Hollow Lake, fighting for his life while a mob enforcer hunts him down, beginning a life and death manhunt for Bo and a marked member of the Chicago mob. Bo's brother, Ethan Paxton, and his private eye friend, Jake Delgado, both from far-away California, search the unfamiliar environs of the Kentucky hill country for Bo, with the doomed wannabe mobster in tow. In a race against time and the Chicago mob, they battle an unforgiving lake, thunderstorms and poisonous snakes, all with the local sheriff and the FBI hot on their trail. Bo's fate will lie with whomever finds him first. Recent Praise for Copperhead Cove: 'Ron Parham has done it again. His second Ethan Paxton suspense novel, 'Copperhead Cove', is just as exciting and entertaining as his first foray in the genre: 'Molly's Moon' - maybe even more so. This time his hero is back east, in the wilds of Kentucky, trying to save his older brother Bo and family from a nasty situation in which they have gotten on the wrong side of a vengeful and death-dealing wing of the Chicago mob.
