Future Tense is the sequel to Chopping Ice, the first book of Lonnie and Zoë's story of love and adventure. It's a wild, often humorous roller coaster of emotions that flies from grief to joy, and from zen to chaos and back to zen.
After Lonnie’s wife Zoë passes away, a Buddhist monk hands him a note written by her that had been delivered a week after she died. Instead of embracing this new hope, Lonnie falls into a deep despair and begins a life of self-destruction. He abandons his friends and leaves his beloved Alaska on a motorcycle to reluctantly face the world alone.
In Idaho, he meets Rebecca, a single mother whose husband Victor had disappeared along with a woman who worked for him. Rebecca pulls Lonnie from his depression and helps him rediscover his old self. Lonnie learns that Victor may have been kidnapped so he calls his old friends from Alaska to help find him.
Together with his pals Ernie and Fred, Lonnie finds himself entangled with an Aryan bike gang running an interstate marijuana distribution enterprise, and an evil pot farmer who recruits undocumented workers at a local church to grow and harvest the crop.
Zoë wakes up four hundred years into the future after being retrieved from her deathbed. She befriends Carmen, a time-travel technician, and together they plot how to covertly bring Lonnie into the future without them getting caught, facing trial for grand treason, and getting exiled to the planet Tau Lepton.
