Cory and Zachary Barber, also known as the Wormhole Bros., have been co-authoring science fiction since 2016. Though Cory resides in Alaska and Zach lives in Washington, they've managed to keep writing a top priority. Wormhole Bros. is a creative outlet for bold ideas, shifting genres, and unfiltered imagination. Each book is a new experiment—sometimes strange, sometimes sweeping, always personal. Whether it's cosmic fiction, philosophical fantasy, or something entirely unexpected, the goal is the same: explore new ground and tell the story that's asking to be told.

Book One of the Time Keeper's Saga

History doesn’t stand a chance.

Jimmy never asked to be called the “Time Keeper.” In fact, he doesn’t even know what it means. One minute he’s fumbling with a jerry-rigged time machine, the next he’s crash-landing into the most dangerous night in American history—Ford’s Theatre, 1865. All he wants is to survive. All history wants is for him to stop screwing things up.

Unfortunately, Jimmy isn’t alone. His best friend, Gary, is along for the ride—loyal, enthusiastic, and chronically unlucky. Between Gary’s knack for getting captured and Jimmy’s talent for tripping over his own feet, the fate of the timeline has never been in shakier hands.

But their misadventure isn’t limited to Earth’s past. Beyond the chaos of Lincoln’s assassination lies Jopulous—a strange and mythic city where a council whispers of destiny, battles rage in the shadows—and the title “Time Keeper” carries a weight Jimmy can’t escape. The more he runs from it, the more the universe insists on pulling him deeper in.

Fast-paced, hilarious, and unexpectedly epic, This Was a Bad Idea launches the Time Keeper’s Saga with a blend of comic banter, historical danger, and mythic intrigue. Perfect for fans of Douglas Adams, Doctor Who, and anyone who’s ever wondered what would happen if the fate of history rested in the hands of two guys who really, really shouldn’t be in charge.

Book Two of the Time Keeper's Saga

Some battles don't leave scars you can see.

Ferri has learned how to survive by staying quiet, keeping his head down, and being very, very good at basketball. On the court, the rules make sense. Off it, Flemett doesn't. Power is arbitrary, cruelty is routine, and safety is something you borrow-never something you own.

Taylor watches from the edges. He's been lucky so far. Untouched. Unnoticed. But luck, like everything else in Flemett, has an expiration date. The more he sees, the harder it becomes to pretend that staying out of trouble is the same thing as staying safe.

What neither of them understands is that their lives are brushing up against something much larger than the walls that hold them. The choices they make-who they protect, who they abandon, and what they're willing to risk-are beginning to echo far beyond Flemett's yard.

Killing Some Time steps sideways into the Time Keeper's Saga, grounding its mythic machinery in quiet dread, human endurance, and the moments that shape people long before history ever learns their names. Tense, intimate, and unsettling, it's a reminder that not every fracture in the timeline announces itself with a flash of light-some begin with a look, a silence, or a single bad night that never really ends.
