I’ve just finished putting together a new anthology of time travel stories: What Do You Mean… Time Travel? While talking to people at conventions (it seems ages ago) I was struck by how often people had very limited ideas of what time travel was. Perhaps it was Doctor Who, or some movie they’d seen. I was sometime frustrated to realize that people didn’t get all the vast variations of time travel stories that were possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So I collected all the stories I’d written and added some explanation with each one about what the rules of that particular story was, just to show off the variations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Putting it together, I realized I really wanted to include the time travel variants I’d used in The Copper Room<\/a> and Golden Girl<\/a>, but you can’t really include a couple of novels in a short story anthology, and I really didn’t like the idea of just including a sample chapter or two. So, I wrote a side story, an independent short story in the same universe as the novel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For Golden Girl<\/a>, I wrote The Protectors<\/em>, the impending disaster of the collapsing timeline from the future which was about to be extinguished when she saved the world from the asteroid.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For The Copper Room<\/a>, I wrote Just an Instant of Time<\/em>, a short about the families left behind when Jerry and Lil head off into the future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, if you’re in the mood for some time travel stories, It’s available now on Kindle. If there’s demand, maybe I’ll do a paper version.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
