No story here. This is just the landing page for my next book, which I plan to start posting this weekend or Monday. This book is one I have wanted to write for a long time. It is both a tale of the future, and a tale of the past. The future is the base for the story, after a time travel machine is made allowing people to explore the past. This will occur in this century.

But most of the action in the story will occur in the past, specifically the middle of the 17th century: a period that has long enthralled me. I have about six chapters written, and will post two a week until I get caught up.

Finally, some people might compare this story to Penny Lane’s wonderful Somewhere Else Entirely stories (find and read them if you haven’t). There will be a few similarities, but my story takes place in the real historical earth. That means I have to spend a lot of time on Wikipedia researching the time period to keep things current. It makes writing much harder than my prior books. Also, if I introduce an anachronism into the story, message me.

Chapters One and Two are coming soon, and then single chapters to follow. There will be a test at the end of the term.

To the Waybac machine, Sherman!

Oooh, I can't wait! Now that I've finished all three seasons of the Spanish series El Ministerio del Tiempo (they spent a lot of time in 17 century Europe) and they're not making any more episodes I'm hard up for a good time travel story. And considering who the author is I have no doubt this'll be good!

Have you read?

The Ring of Fire series by Eric Flint? The 1st novel is '1632' ; it has a modern W. Virginia town swapped with a similarly sized sphere of earth from 1632 Germany during the 30 Years War.
