After winning a 2009 Indie Excellence finalist award,[4] Ridan Publishing released a second version of the book in October 2009.[5] In November 2011, the second book in the Aaron and Jake Time Travel Adventure - The Inverted Cavern - was released by Ridan Publishing.[6] The series is an inspired fusion of Fonseca's childhood experiences growing up near Amish communities in Northern Indiana and the natural curiosity he saw in his four boys.[7]
