I’ve been obsessed with time for as long as I can remember and I believe it started when I first saw the movie of Charles Dickens’s A Christmas Carol. What if you could see your life again? What if you could possibly travel to an earlier time and change it? Or get a glimpse of the future?
So I wrote a book about it! Theda’s Time Machine was first a novel, and now a serial on Substack. I never thought that adapting a novel to a serial would be fun, but it was! I hope you enjoy it, too.
On a Kansas military base in March 1918, Theda Evora is visiting her father...and hiding from a group of anarchists who want her dead. It would be the perfect place to lay low, if only young soldiers weren't mysteriously disappearing. Then a stranger appears who knows too much about Theda’s past…and about her future. He's from the 1940s searching for a time traveling doctor with a penchant for disease. Caught between believing in reality and knowing that something is terribly wrong, Theda searches for the truth, even if it means confronting her own father.
At the Historical Fiction Stack, we talk about other things, too, such as:
Historical Fictionary: An exploration of terms and language from the past that will help when you are writing your historical novel or story.
Visual History: Photographs, paintings and more! For those who LOVE old photos, galleries pertaining especially to the early 1900s.
Author Spotlight: Interviews with your favorite historical fiction authors!
Excavation Information: How do we find the information we need in the shortest and cheapest amount of time? I share my tips from researching my novel and how you can find interesting items for your historical pieces.
The content on the Historical Fiction Stack is freeeeeeee….but, if you’d like to contribute to independent writers, a paid subscription is so much appreciated. All money from paid subscriptions goes into the editor’s pot for professional editing services for my next novel.
Thank you for reading my work! Please reach out for any questions or comments.
