Listen, I'm an angst lover but I'm also a romance lover. And DOOMED romance oooohh don't get me started on that. But anyway my point is - nothing hits quite as well as Person A is in love with Person B, Person B is also in love but they have some sort of extra piece of knowledge that indicates that this relationship will only end in hurt and/or this relationship could compromise the world saving goal everyone is working towards. I love a "We can't do this" (Person B) "I don't care" (Person A) moment. I love not knowing if the relationship will actually cause all of the bad things that Person B thinks will happen to happen, or if the outcome will be better than they could have possibly imagined. I love the trope of "I don't want to save the world, if that means I lose you". I love the trope of "I don't care about the consequences as long as we at least try". I love the trope of "Please... please. Just give me a chance, just give us a chance". I love the trope of Person B having to wrestle with every instinct and decision and realizing in the end they never stood a chance. I love the trope of Person B realizing they deserve a shot at happiness. I love it even when the ending is exactly what Person B expected.

Time Travel Theories

I believe that most people, if asked, would say that time travel is impossible. Thankfully that has not stopped people from reading countless books and watching numerous films and television shows based on the possibility. Just imagine a world without ‘Doctor Who’ or ‘Back to the Future’.

The reasons that people don’t believe it’s possible include well-known issues like ‘The Grandfather Paradox’ and ‘The Butterfly Effect’.

The Grandfather Paradox asks what would happen if you went back in time and killed your grandfather when he was a child. If you did that, you could therefore have never been born, and so could not travel back in time to kill him. It’s difficult to get around that one but the paradox is illustrated well in The Time Traveler’s Wife (the author, Audrey Niffenegger, is American – hence the spelling).

The Butterfly Effect originates from the principle that the smallest change in events can have far-reaching effects in the future. In particular that the flapping of the wings of a butterfly could affect the path of a tornado. So, any actions that a time traveller takes will influence future events.

But recent research at the Los Alamos Laboratory and the University of Queensland has demonstrated that, in the quantum realm, there is no butterfly effect. Apparently, quantum bits travel back in time and correct themselves. So, there is no butterfly effect and time automatically corrects itself. You can read more about this here.

No, I don’t understand it either. But I do recognise that my life has been significantly influenced by seemingly random events that have placed me in a particular place at a particular time, and that if I had not been there, my life would have been significantly changed. Such events, since the release of a certain film, have come to be known as ‘Sliding Doors’ moments.

I visualise it in terms of a river. If I divert part of the river, it will have an effect for a certain distance. But eventually, the river will resume its path. A vast simplification – but it will have to do for now.

So that’s my justification for putting so much time and effort into writing a book based on time travel.

It’s called “My Time Again – A Time Travel Novel” and you can find out more, read a sample or even order a copy online.

Review: Woke Up Like This

Planning the perfect prom is one last “to do” on ultra-organized Charlotte Wu’s high school bucket list. So far, so good, if not for a decorating accident that sends Charlotte crash-landing off a ladder, face-first into her obnoxiously ripped archnemesis J. T. Renner. Worse? When Charlotte wakes up, she finds herself in an unfamiliar bed at thirty years old, with her bearded fiancé, Renner, by…

Going Back in Time

If men of a certain age are propelled back to their younger years of the 1960s-1970s, they will notice the same things, more-or-less, as each other. Generally, these will be cars and girls, major sports events, TV shows and lifestyle changes - such as smoking habits and sexism in the workplace.

Fitting-in poses its own problems - the use of today's language, environmental awareness and... knowing more future history than your peers.

A comment on my book noted that other authors have started their time-related stories with a similar beginning (but completely different plots). I have also noticed some differences in the way English and American readers reacted to my book, My Time Again.

An American reviewer thinks that my characters are 'wooden' whereas reviewers in Britain for both my novels find the characters believable. This highlights the differences between the two cultures, especially the further back one travels in time (imagine the 'wild west' vs the Victorian industrial revolution).

For example, even 50 years ago, Brits were far more formal in their attire and in their speech. There's little doubt that the USA has influenced us over the years but this was not so much the case half-a-century ago, when tourism between the two countries was quite rare and so were computers - the internet wouldn't exist for a couple of decades.

The British view of an American lifestyle was via movies. I doubt that it was reciprocal but there was a shared love of popular music between the two countries.

Brits also had a little access to USA TV shows via the two or three British channels; mainly late 60s/early 70s monochrome dramas or sit-coms. Has anyone else on Tumblr heard of Peyton Place (Ryan O'Neal and Mia Farrow) or My Three Sons (Fred MacMurray)? In 1970, The Banana Splits aired on BBC1, 2 months after NBC cancelled it! Did any British TV shows air in the USA, e.g. Doctor Who (1970 marked the debut of the third Doctor) or Coronation Street (still popular today) or The Goodies? Unlikely.

Back to the book comparisons: there will be elements of similarities between any stories but there is very little to compare between My Time Again and any other that I'm aware of, despite a reviewer's comparison. At least he bought my book and for that I am grateful.
