About Y. T. Mihaly

I’ve spent most of my life in Colorado and Florida. I’m married and have three adult children and one grandchild. I love them deeply—but even they know my greatest passion is writing.

The intrigue and mysteries of space and the vast unknown have always left me wondering … what if?

I worked in both the space and publishing industries, but I never imagined that the threat of losing my ability to write would be the very thing that pushed me to embrace it fully.

When my surgeon explained that I needed a complete shoulder replacement, I was stunned.

After the surgery, his words haunted me. “You need to type or write. If you don’t use your arm, you’ll lose your ability ever to write again.”

That moment unlocked something inside me. A surge of creativity broke through, filling my mind with endless what ifs.

Determined to overcome any obstacles, I combined my love of science fiction, the enigmas of the universe, and my creative storytelling into something raw—something that could outlast my physical limits.

I typed.

One word became a sentence.
Sentences transformed into paragraphs.
Pages bloomed into chapters.

My fractured body couldn’t stop my thoughts from igniting—and from that fire, the Slide Series was born.

Maybe it was the medication, but I prefer to believe it was something deeper—an unshakable part of me guiding me toward an unexplored passion. The mysteries of time travel and the infinite possibilities of what could be took root in my imagination. That small seed grew into a mind-bending, seven-book saga I’m thrilled to share with you.

The vision for Beyond Time extends past the books themselves. My company, Celestial Keyhole Publishing, LLC, reflects that vision. Its logo—a keyhole in space—represents a wormhole, a portal, a gateway into the unknown.

As a new futurist and sci-fi/fantasy author, my goal is to push the boundaries of your imagination with unexpected twists, compelling characters, and stories that stay with you long after the final page.

I’ve poured my heart, soul, and tears into the Slide Series. I invite you to journey with me into the unimaginable. Let me captivate you. Passage, Escape, and traverse into the Time Continuum, Beyond physical worlds, and explore this fresh, high-octane speculative fiction saga with wonderment.

I hope that Passage, the first book, leaves you wanting more—and that when you reach the final novel, your expectations are overflowingly fulfilled.

For nearly six years, this series has ignited a passion inside of me. If these books have entertained you, sparked your curiosity, or made you wonder what if?, I’d be honored to have your support.

A review on Amazon, Goodreads, or social media may seem like a small gesture, but to an independent author, it can make all the difference.

Your support helps me keep turning the impossible into extraordinary adventures, where pushing the boundaries of imagination is always my priority.

Thank you for coming along on the journey.

I’m giving you my best. Enjoy.
