Time Waves and a Sound of Thunder
The movie of Ray Bradbury’s “The Sound of Thunder” uses time waves or ripples to perpetuate changes from the past into the present. But is it accurate? Should we wave goodbye to them?
Misuse of an hour
The daylight saving hour – do we use it wisely? I don’t think so, and in which case can we really be trusted with time travel?

Review: Hegira (Jim Cronin)
“Hegira” is the first book in Jim Cronin’s “The Brin Archives” series and brings us a superb combination of world building, alien races and time travel. It’s well written, covers a phenomenal range of subject matter, and (importantly) deals with many aspects of time travel too!
The worst day of my life. Again please!
It’s probably one of the most commonly asked questions in time travel – to what time and place would you like to travel?

Review: Stumbling on a Tale (Suzanne Roche)
“Stumbling On a Tale” is the next novel in the “Time to Time” series by Suzanne Roche.

Layers are gradually added to the time travel mechanism, and there’s also promise of more great time travel things to follow too!

About time for a reflection
Is there a future with optic fibers and warped mirrors as time machines? Or are these just some random thoughts from the reflection of a wrinkly old man day dreaming in front of a mirror?

Punctuality seems to be a rare commodity, yet it’s presence isn’t recognised. I’d like to think that punctuality to time is a matter of temporal precision and should be rewarded!
Review: Fated Memories by Joan Carney
Fated Memories by Joan Carney is a well written and interesting exploration into the times of the American Civil War seen through the eyes of Kitty and Maggie. Surviving as nurses they see the harsher sides of the war, although a romantic light shines its light into the novel. Frequent comparisons between the duo’s past and present keep the time travel theme alive, though as is fitting with the flavour of the novel, there is no heavy scientific content.
Temporal Disentanglement
We’re deeply entangled in space and time – but if people can’t deal with different cultures or with people who change location how can we expect to deal with time travelers?
Review: Backwards by Rob Grant
Backwards isn’t strictly a time travel novel – playing with time is simply a backdrop to the plot which at the same time creates plenty of comedic scenarios…as you’d hope from a comedy!
Review: Before you Leap by Les Lynam
