If you could time-travel anywhere, where would you go?

[TheTimeBaroness]

It started out as such a simple experiment: time-travel to Jane Austen’s England, live a quiet, rural life as a woman of independent means, observe and notate. I never thought I would fall in love or... end up planning a prison break! When did everything go so terribly wrong? October 24, 1820 - Dr. Cassandra Reilly

Welcome to KindleBoards, Georgina, and congratulations on your book! 

(If you've gotten this welcome before, it's just as a matter of housekeeping. We like to put a copy of the "welcome letter" in each book thread.  It doesn't mean you've done anything wrong, it just helps us know that you know the rules.)

A brief recap of our rules follows:

--We invite you to use your book cover as your avatar and have links to your book and website in your signature. Instructions are posted here

--Please bookmark this thread (using your browser's bookmark/favorite function) so you can update it as we ask that authors have only one thread per book and add to it when there is more information.  You may start a separate thread for each book (or you may have one thread per series of books, or one thread for all of your books, it's your choice).

--While you may respond to member posts to your thread at any time, you may only bump your thread (back-to-back posts by you) once every seven days.  Once you've responded to a member, that resets the clock to zero and you must wait seven days to post, unless another member posts before then.

--We ask that Amazon reviews not be repeated here as they are easy to find at your book link.  Also, full reviews from other sites should not be posted here, but you may post a short blurb and a link to the full review instead.

Jane Austen and time travel?  Excellent!

(I'd be sure to visit Jane's contemporary, Mary Shelley, too.)

I just wanted to share this great review that I recently received on Amazon. It's there on The Time Baroness' page, but to save you the effort, I'm posting it here
"I bought this book on an impulse because I was in the mood for something different. I am neither a fan of romance books or science fiction, but I love Jane Austen. The Time Baroness surprised me by being one of the most enjoyable books I've read for a while. It was a lovely escape to the past and glimpse into the future (well, pretend future!) with realistic, intelligent, interesting, and immensely charming main characters. Alternately restful and exciting, I truly hated for it to end and immediately searched to see if the author had produced other books. Alas! This is her first, but I hope it won't be her last.

For those who care about such things, I would rate this book PG due to some details about the main character's affair (which I would have preferred not to read about actually!), however, I will still give this book 5 stars for the rest of the content! Well done, Georgina Young-Ellis!"

Here's the eleventh 5 star review of The Time Baroness on Amazon:

Unusual twist on time travel story, July 25, 2011
By E. J. Dutton "Betticando" (Charlotte NC USA)   

First, I would like to say that I received a free copy of this book in Kindle format from the author's husband, who sent his diet journal to my husband to read. There was no expectation that I would review the book, or if I did that I would do anything other than offer my candid opinion.

I'm not going to do a plot summary - that has already been done in several other reviews, and done well.

That said, I found the book to be very intriguing, and it caught my attention from the beginning. I liked the fact that the primary character chose to go to the Jane Austen era (she loves Jane Austen), but after the author's death, so there could be no 'time paradox' caused by the two meeting.

The writing is excellent, and the plotting is very creative. I do have one quibble - I think the pace dragged from time to time during the year that Dr Reilly spent in rural England. There were a few too many descriptions of musical duets, and days when almost nothing happened, but other than that I really enjoyed the entire story.

I understand that there will be another book by Ms Young-Ellis available soon, and I look forward to reading that one as well (and paying for it myself )

This book is definitely worth reading, and I do recommend it

Here are a couple of great, 5 star reviews The Time Baroness received this week on Amazon:

"this was a wonderful book! The detailing is exquisite an it felts as if you were truly in 19th century England! this was a fun read an i look forward to more like it from Ms Young-Ellis."

"I'm so glad I read this book. I enjoy time travel and historical romance and this book fulfilled my expectations of romance and a historical experience. It was engaging from beginning to end and I felt as if I really got to know not only Cassandra, but all of the players in the story. I loved the romance between Cassandra and Ben and as their relationship grew, I found I was on pins and needles trying to figure out which path she would ultimately choose as January 12th drew near. This is an excellent story and I have already recommended it to several friends! You won't be disappointed!"

Week after week, The Time Baroness is #1 in Books > Travel > Europe > Great Britain > England!

[J.R.Mooneyham]

Georgina, I personally wouldn't wish to travel into the past, due to how overall everything tended to be worse living-wise than we have it today (I like my modern conveniences, and not being a slave or peasant! Ha, ha).

No, I'd much prefer to travel into the far future, where things are (hopefully!) more convenient and appealing still.

As for where I'd go...in my sci fi books I go to 2391 AD and 2823 AD, among other times.

[deana]

Sounds like to me, there was more and more civilization going on in the past than we realize. I want to travel back to THOSE types. Where those underwater cities and ruins where built...and how those people were able to move those darn tons-weighted stones. It sounds like to me the past a different type of technology we don't know about. I want to go back to THOSE times and find out!  And then leave before whatever catastrophe got them underwater in the first plce.

[Jean E]

Well done on you book.  But the refinement of nineteenth century rural English society wouldn't do it for me.  I'd go back and try to find some Neanderthals and watch them.  I sometime wonder how we would be getting along if they had survived as a species.  Imagine that. Two types of humans.  Maybe that's what this world is missing, balance.  Does anyone have a time machine and can I borrow it?

My book is called The Boots Of Saint Felicity.

Have you tried my Jane Austen quiz? It's tricky...beware!

[SuzanneTyrpak]

I think my time travel would depend on what role I get to play when I arrive wherever I go. I'd love to go to ancient Egypt, but I wouldn't want to be a slave.
