Meet Marc Kerry
Character from Time
Trap by Danele J. Rotharmel
Today,
I’m talking with Marc Kerry, a professional time counselor with the Temporal
Counseling Program at National Science University. Marc, can you tell us what
time counseling entails?
Sure, Lisa! Time counseling is a unique—and
sometimes dangerous—profession. TEMCO’s main objective is targeting death-row
offenders for time-based counseling. It’s my job to travel back through time
and counsel criminals while they’re children. Many times, I’m able to put the
children on a better path so that when they grow up, they avoid a life of
crime.
You
mentioned that time counseling can be dangerous. How so?
Sometimes, time counselors encounter
unexpected events. For instance, a few years ago, a student cadet encountered a
serial killer during her field exam. Gil almost lost her life.
Has
anything like that happened to you?
I’m happy to say that it hasn’t. But a
time counselor always has to be prepared. Danger is part of the job.
Does
TEMCO take precautions to keep you safe?
Of course! Since Gil’s deadly assignment,
time counselors always travel in pairs. And student cadets are no longer
allowed to handle criminal cases—they’re assigned suicide preventions. Speaking
of which, two cadets, Phoebe and Drake, are about to tackle their field exam. I
just ran into them on campus. Director Matthews and Dr. Nelson were going to
tie up some last-minute details and then send them through a temporal portal.
Will
Phoebe and Drake be in danger?
Probably not. Danger isn’t likely during a
cadet-handled suicide prevention. Besides, TEMCO has top-notch lab technicians who
constantly monitor the timeline. This helps ensure the safety of time
counselors in the field.
Marc,
you blushed when you mentioned TEMCO’s lab technicians. I’ve heard that one of
the techs, Crystal Stuart, has caught your eye.
That may be true, but I’m not sure what to
do about it. Crystal and I had a fight several years ago, and she refuses to
talk with me.
If
you try hard enough, I’m sure you can patch things up and grab her attention.
I don’t know, Lisa. I’d like to think that
my famous “Kerry Charisma” could charm her, but Cris has a mind of her own—and that
stubborn mind of hers is determined to hold a grudge. I wish she’d forgive me.
She’s a fascinating woman.
Marc,
thank you so much for talking with me. I want to wish you luck on your next
assignment…and also luck with Crystal.
Thank you, Lisa! I appreciate it.
About Time Trap:

While they search for their missing cadets, they encounter an enemy who is calculating and brutal—a mysterious nemesis who is holding a grudge against the TEMCO program. As Peter and Laura race to unravel clues directing them to their kidnapped cadets, their own survival comes into question. A deadly trap has been set, and they are forced to pit their wits against a serial killer who is intent on playing a deadly chess game through time itself.
