Jaiden Dokken, will serve a two-year term as Clallam County’s first Poet Laureate. Developed through a partnership between Clallam County and NOLS, a major goal of the Clallam County Poet Laureate program is to use poetry to bring a variety of voices and perspectives to culturally diverse audiences throughout the county, and to bring communities together through poetry.

In current-day Seattle, Gino makes his money writing a phony astrology column and playing fortune teller for party entertainment. Sara, a fraud investigator, has visions of the future that always come true—and she’ll do anything to keep it a secret. Her clairvoyance has destroyed important relationships in her life.
When they meet, Gino hopes they can be more than friends. Unfortunately, the most Sara will commit to is cat-sitting for him while he goes sailing in Italy for his 25th birthday.
But when Gino disappears while swimming near the islands of the sirens off the Amalfi Coast, everyone presumes he has drowned—everyone except Sara, whose visions tell her he’s alive and in trouble. She just can’t tell where. Or when.
Can she find a way to help Gino without revealing her secret?
Gino washes up on a gravel beach, surrounded by men holding torches and daggers, dressed like extras from a pirate movie. Then he learns that it is 1348. The Black Death could kill him, a fiery fifteen-year-old girl is way too interested in him, and he finds himself the personal astrologer to Signore Ottavio—a man who had his last astrologer executed for being a charlatan.
Gino has never felt more like a charlatan in his life. How can he get back to the islands, the place where he fell through time, and back to his 21st century life?
