Hey ,

With summer nearly upon us and many people looking forward to a nice break, I'm doing the opposite and pushing even harder to finish book three in my TimeBlink series.

So, while I’m busy getting Syd out of her latest timeblinking crisis and trying to avoid a paradoxical time loop in the process, one of us might as well be having some fun!

Here’s a short quiz to test your knowledge of some of the greatest time-travel movies ever made. There’s no prize because, well, Google, but if you ace the quiz using your own brain power, at least you can brag to your friends.

As I delve deeper into the world of time travel, I'm facing some tough decisions about how to explain the mechanics of this fantastical element to my readers.

If you’ve read the first two books the TimeBlink series, you’ll know I left out the nitty-gritty details about how a silver necklace came to have the power to transport its wearer forward or back in time.

This was by design. I figured because I wasn’t especially interested in the “how” of the time travel, my readers wouldn’t be either.

However, when one reviewer commented that the time-travel element “was not explored sufficiently to be acceptable to SF readers,” the self-doubt crept in.

Were my stories missing something fundamental? Did all readers need a detailed description of how the time travel worked, or just the hardcore sci-fi fans?

I made some great strides this past month thanks to my buddy, Dawn Dugle, who writes spicy romantic comedies featuring couples over 40. And trust me, with titles like Hot Flash of Homicide and One in a Billionaire, you can't help but be entertained!

Dawn's been instrumental in helping me hash out some sticky plot problems in book three. Guys, you wouldn't believe the challenges I've encountered with the 347 time-travel rules I created way back in book one! Lesson learned for my next writing venture.

Anyway, many thanks to Dawn for her AI-quick brainstorming skills! 😘 Be sure to check out all her gut-busting rom-coms here.
