Finalist for New Age Fiction in the 12th Annual National Indie Excellence Awards!!

5-Stars--"Inspiring, entertaining, and downright exhilarating...This is a fantastic novel about the notion of time, a story with a cast of compelling characters, explorers from a people known as the Gripps. Teressi combines adventure, fantasy, and time travel to offer readers a great reading experience, a story with powerful psychological implications. The writing is beautiful and it has a metaphysical and metaphorical feel to it. it does remind me of something I have known and forgotten, of the sense of being connected to something bigger than myself."--Romuald Dzemo, 5-Stars, Readers' Favorite Reviewer

5-Stars--There is nothing that I don't like about this novel! A well-developed and fast-paced story that had me riveted from the get-go. A perfect amalgamation of thriller, mystery and science fiction. Thoroughly entertaining, the novel grabbed my attention from the very beginning. Although at first glance the story seems like science fiction, in fact, it expertly merges many genres together to make the perfect amalgamation of thriller, mystery, science fiction, psychological thriller and many more.The best thing is, the author handled them all really well and ensured that the narrative held its own with very strong characters and becoming a living, breathing being that cannot be ignored. Perfect! "--Rabia Tanveer, 5-Stars, Readers' Favorite Reviewer

5-Stars--Profound and Visionary, "Portals in Time...really struck me as unique due to the depth and complexity of the characters and the fact that even for a science-fiction /fantasy/ metaphysical adventure the rules seemed to go out the window. The writing is very strong (so surprised to read this is the author's first novel!) and the plot is compelling and intelligent enough to really keep our attention. Kept me turning the pages late into the night! Highly recommend for fans of SciFi and fantasy with a philosophical/spiritual element. --Sam Ryan, 5-Stars, Goodreads; Barnes & Noble; Indie Book Reviewers

5-Stars--"John Joseph Teressi has the gift of storytelling and, while the adventures of the characters can be exciting, the author succeeds in awakening a deep spiritual longing in the hearts of readers, making them see themselves in the characters. The setting is a fictional world that some of us must have dreamed about. The story is told in fine prose and in a captivating tone. The author balances the strong descriptive prose with believable dialogues. This book takes you to dreamland and makes you feel as if you belong to a spiritual world of endless possibilities."--Ruffina Roserio, 5-Stars, Readers' Favorite Reviewer

5-Stars-- Wow! Just...Wow! What an insane book! Holy bananas!! Okay, I don't even know where to begin because so much happens..."Portals in Time" is far and away one of the most original and just flat-out interesting and crazy and surreal thriller/suspense/sci-fi/fantasy/action fiction novels I've ever read (and I read a lot!). I liked it for so many different reasons: first, the writing was really solid--very literary (beautiful prose). There were so many different plotlines and it was fascinating to see how it all came together at the end, which was awesome with a beautiful ending, but I hope there is more in the future from Teressi. This is one mind-bendy read that stands out in terms of depth and even teaching some wonderful life lessons in an organic, spiritual way. Very highly recommend!!-- Gillian Hancock, 5-Stars, Goodreads; Barnes & Noble; Indie Book Reviewers

5-Stars--"An entertaining adventure and a thought-provoking read. If you're a fan of Twilight Zone-esque blends of science fiction, fantasy, and psychological twists with a moral at the end, and you'd enjoy a little "tongue in cheek" humor along the way, then Portals in Time is for you. In an exciting, frightening, at times deadly but always colorful, time travel adventure, the team encounters the unexpected, the mysterious, the incongruous, and the bizarre in a world of natural beauty filled with strange beings such as they've never seen and don't initially understand. In Portals in Time, Teressi presents both a warning given in good humor and a way forward given with sincere intent. An entertaining adventure and a thought-provoking read."--Kimberlee J. Benart, 5-Stars, Readers' Favorite Reviewer
