“Writing a novel is like reading a book, you have to keep at it if you want to find out what happens next.”
Sharleen Nelson, The Time Tourists

“The Time Tourists might sound like a cozy mystery with time travel thrown in, but nothing could be further from the truth. This is a novel packed with important and often dark themes, blended together with a cast of vibrant and believable characters.
