I’m excited that author, Jennifer Jensen is taking you through the wormhole this week! So fun to find an author that loves time travel as much as I do, so here she is!!
Thanks so much for inviting me to guest post, Pauline, especially on a blog that celebrates time travel! So the question is, if I could travel through time and space, where/when would I go?
First, Madam Time Travel Agent, some requests: I’d like to go without being subject to disease, famine or political executions, or just being run down by a callous nobleman’s carriage! And I’d like to stipulate that anything I do would not mess with history, either creating parallel universes (Star Trek, anyone?) or ripping the world apart (Stephen King!). I’d like to just be there. So here’s what I’ve been thinking:
And as long as I’m in colonial America, I’d love to watching blacksmiths work at the anvil, or coopers build barrels, or glassblowers create delicate vessels. It was a slower time where everyday people worked hard just to put food in their mouths through the winter, but the focus and rhythm of those days is something our modern lifestyle has largely taken away. I suppose that’s why I chose not to set my book during the Revolution or the Civil War – I wanted to look at regular daily life, not extraordinary events.
So, Madame Time Travel Agent, let me know the costs for these possible trips so I can compare and make arrangements. I can’t wait!
A haunted cabin . . .
A shadowy stranger . . .
And no way home
Present Day: Jim has a talent for getting into trouble. Grounded from his model rockets, he goes exploring where he shouldn’t and gets zapped back in time. Can he find the way back home again or is he marooned in the past?
1838: Hannah’s life in her frontier village is filled with a little play and a lot of hard work. A seemingly harmless trick lures a strange, dazed boy from the old haunted cabin. Now Hannah must make a choice – and face the dangers.
Together, Jim and Hannah struggle to unmask a thief and solve a murder while they search for the key to unlock time. It will take courage and wits, plus the rocket motors in Jim’s pocket, just to stay alive.
