1989; Columbine High School, Colorado, 1999; Maiduguri, Nigeria, 2013; The Orlando Pulse Nightclub, 2016; The Black Lives Matter Shooting in Dallas Texas, 2016... If you had the ability to travel back in time and stop a mass shooting from happening, would you? Which one would you choose? Who would you save? How would you decide? In I Was, Am, Will Be Alice, 9 year old Alice Carroll realizes she can time travel after she narrowly escapes death in a mass shooting at her school, a situation she is determined to control in order to go back to the day of the shooting, save the lives of her teacher and classmates, and discover the identity of the woman who sacrificed herself so Alice could live. EMSA Publishing is proud to announce the July 12, 2016 release of I Was, Am, Will Be Alice, a contemporary young adult science fiction novel about time travel. Straight from the headlines in the wake of similar shootings, I Was, Am, Will Be Alice is about an unfortunately all-too-common event in the modern era, and the one person in the world who might be able to make a difference.
