Just finished Unhappenings. One of the best I've read in a while. Oddly enough, I am also reading an old pulp classic called "legion of Time" by Jack Williamson, 1952,with some parallel plot elements. I also suspect you were inspired by "The Butterfly Effect". At any rate, you've raised that plot to new heights.
Thank you! Yes, the Butterfly Effect, or more specifically, "A Sound of Thunder" (the Bradbury story that originated the term) partly guided me, as I expect it has every author of a time travel story in the last fifty years. My hope was to do something a little different with it. I have not read Legion of Time, but will add it to my absurdly long list of TBRs. Thanks for reading!
