Who could have known a land of peace and promise held a doomed future? Zophie’s great-grandfather discovered the portal that thrust him and fellow explorers from their homes in 1850 Portland, Oregon to a mysterious land of unfettered opportunity for brilliant minds: Zelfar.
Zelfar presents a blank slate for them to create an ideal utopian society and they eagerly discard their old world and embrace their future.
Fast-forward 120 years and life in Zelfar hangs by a perilous thread. The already small society will soon vanish because the population can’t increase. Newborns are dying shortly after birth . . . and nobody knows why. As Zelfar’s leading neo-natal physician, Zophie must find a cure. Desperate, she wonders if she could find a cure in the land they left behind on the other side of the secret portal. But stepping through the portal holds its own horrors. There lies 1971 Oregon with violence, weapons, and dangers that don’t exist in Zelfar. Even so, Zophie furtively straddles both worlds, risking everything in a race against time to find a cure before it’s too late . . . not only for Zelfar, but for those she loves.

I’ve always known I would be an author . . . someday. Someday came when I was caring for my older sister, Janet, as she went through chemo-therapy. To keep her focused on living, I suggested we write a book. Her eyes lit up and we began to build our perfect world—a utopian society with androids, hoverspheres, and homedomes—hidden through a secret portal behind a majestic waterfall. I wrote the story and Janet gave big-sister advice. Our story-building pastime soon worked its magic on both of us. It made her good days better and I had found my passion. It wasn’t long before I was encouraged to turn our project into a book series. Janet passed away shortly before the first book was completed, but I made a promise to her and myself that I would finish our Zelfar series and share it for all to enjoy. The Zelfar Series includes a bit of Pacific Northwest history, areas familiar to me, having lived in SW Washington most of my life. I retired from Intel Corporation in 2007 and live in Central Oregon with my husband. I love to hear from my readers. Contact me at http://www.ruthcolter.com.
