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.
Ancient Egypt? Really? Actually, in The Time Baroness, I briefly explore the results of someone having gone there. It ain't good. So, if you travel there, how do you imagine it going? Just curious  thanks for jumping into my thread! Georgina |

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.
Love it! Thanks for the reply. Sorry it took me so long to notice it; I couldn't figure out how to get email alerts when someone posted until just now. Georgina |

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.

Thanks for the thoughts, Jean, very intriguing. Sorry it took me so long to respond; I'm still getting the hang of this Kindleboards thing |

A lovely new four star review for The Time Baroness: Stately time travel, October 20, 2011 By Heather Hiestand "author" (Washington State, USA) - See all my reviews Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?) This review is from: The Time Baroness (The Time Mistress Series) (Kindle Edition) I thought The Time Baroness was a great read. I especially enjoyed the second half as the issues around time travel intensified. Since I mostly read time travel romances, it was refreshing to read a TT novel that didn't have to have a standard romance ending. http://www.amazon.com/The-Time-Baroness-ebook/dp/B004VGVSJ6 |

It would definitely be some place where I could meet my literary heroes and find out what they were really like. I think it'd be great to meet Shelley, Byron and Keats (preferably before they drowned or caught consumption) |

I would go back to the court of Henry VIII - to see how many wives and children he really had - would love to have a 'one to one' with Anne Boleyn

That's a good one. Though I wonder if Anne Boleyn was really as hot as she's made out to be.  |

The second book in my Time Mistress series was released today! It's called The Time Heiress, a passion-filled, time-travel adventure set in pre-Civil War New York City. http://amzn.to/tdAtPX |

Alas, another recovering lawyer. Here's a thought from a neighboring thread: let's go back in time and persuade Jack London to rewrite Moby Dick. |

Hmm, Jack London rewriting Moby Dick? I'm not so sure about that. Can you give me the link to that thread? It sounds interesting!

Love your reply, Art! What's your time-travel novel?
Hi Well my story is about an accident when Nasa scientists tried to develop a new space drive. They are sent back 70 million years and eventually crash land into a valley of an orphaned large juvenile T-Rex named Chak Chak. (His family have gone missing but that's to be dealt with in a later story.) It turns into a war zone as rival clans force a hundred year truce to get broken by Chak Chak. Now even the coastal gang of giganatosaurus Blood Knife clan are all hunting for him in his own valley. Meantime the Nasa team are trying to repair their ship to get off earth, never mind get back to their own time. |

Sounds great! The whole idea of time-travel is so much fun, and even more a reality these days with the discovery of neutrinos traveling faster than light. There are some real time-travel implications there that could actually be a reality some day.
