And here we are again with another exciting edition of our time travel newsletter. Without any further blahdeeblahdeeblah, I'll get on to a few topics that will hopefully interest you.
SEPTEMBER BOOK CLUB : *Beginning September 16th, we will be reading An Extended Journey by our very own Paul Sherman. Join the discussion at http://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/1.... The Kindle version is only $3.99, so you should most definitely join us in reading and discussing this book about a family displaced to Colonial Williamsburg while wearing Mickey Mouse rain ponchos. That is, the family was wearing Mickey Mouse ponchos; you don't have to wear one in order to read the book. However, if you decide to do so, please post pictures. The book features a hot wife in a hot tub as well as Thomas Jefferson, slavery, and revolution.
SEPTEMBER GIVEAWAY: Jacqueline Patricks will be giving away 10 copies of her new book Dreams of the Queen. Join the conversation now to be entered to win: http://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/1...
OTHER BOOKS BY MEMBERS: In case you didn't already know, we have a bookshelf devoted to books by our members: http://www.goodreads.com/group/booksh.... When I first started this group, I was quite skeptical of all the self-published time travel books. But I think you'll be as pleasantly surprised (as I have been) at the quality of the books you'll find here. So take a look, spend a few pennies or dollars, do a little mental time travelling, and then write a review to help promote the hidden gems you find. And when you finally write that book you've been putting off for the last 15 years, perhaps all your GoodReads indie-book review karma will come back to you.
TELEVISION: *"Travelers" (ABC)- centers on a man who brings his family to a wake for the father he never knew, only to discover that the doors inside his father’s estate are time portals which trap them in the house and send them on a journey through history - http://www.deadline.com/tag/travelers/
*"12 Monkeys" - SyFy has ordered a pilot to adapt the movie for television. Too bad most of us know how it ends already. Still, it should be interesting- http://laughingsquid.com/12-monkeys-i...
*"Future Choice" (Korean) - Mi-rae, the main character, travels back in time to give her past self advice (starts October 14th on Korea's KBS2 station)- http://www.dramabeans.com/2013/08/yoo...
