Not a romance but a mid-twentieth century adventure and family drama, with a romantic thread woven in. It follows the life of Frankie Brown, whose older brother was killed in 1948 when an assassin placed a bomb under the speakers podium at the Mormon Tabernacle, intent on killing Harry Truman during a whistle stop tour. Sixteen years later, a still-grieving Frank finds an old Philco radio in his rented and furnished apartment. While attempting to repair it, the apartment changes in appearance and he panics, tripping over the cord as he runs out into the hallway. Everything resets. Eventually he figures out he’s accidentally stumbled across a time travel device. What do do with it? How to manipulate it (it doesn’t come with instructions)? Who might it hurt? Discovered by government travelers from the future whose job is to keep rogue time travelers like Frank from screwing up their own future realities, he manages to keep one step ahead, until he doesn’t.
Saving Harry Truman
Available as both ebook or paperback, larger type formats

I nominate my recently released collection of short stories about time travel, "Locking Arms with Giants." This book, available on Amazon and Kindle, includes several stories about super heroes traveling through the timeline and the Dreamscape into the future or into the past to correct negative situations. A great short read!

(Readers, feel free to nominate something else! By 'lead the discussion' I don't mean stay glued to the topic thread and come up with all sorts of questions and comments, so please don't be intimidated by that 'catch.')

I nominate my newly released

which is a time travel book with romance. It's set mostly in the Swinging Sixties in London - a truly colourful time, but can they stay there?

At the moment of his greatest professional achievement, renowned physicist Randy Weinberg wakes up eight years in the future.
He is legally dead, divorced from his wife, and a stranger to his son.
Enemies threaten him for the secrets of time travel. As a victim of his failed experiment, Randy is clueless.
Randy must decide whether to invent a tool that could be used to corrupt history, or refuse and see his wife and son murdered.
Perhaps there is another way.
Turn back the clock.
