Wow! My time travel is going impossibly slow. I love the premise and I like the hero and heroine but navigating a historical within a contemporary is one tricky, time-consuming maneuver. :confused: It’s also been quite interesting as it makes me consider all the modern conveniences we take for granted. And interestingly enough–or perhaps it’s geekily enough on my part :hehe:– Albert Einstein didn’t dismiss the notion of time manipulation or travel.
And can I take a minute to mouth off about one of my pet peeves? People on cell phones in restaurants and book stores. Now don’t get me wrong. I’m extremely attached to my cell phone and I’m slightly ashamed to say that I’ve stood in the grocery line and the bank line and completed those transactions while yakking away.
But, for years it’s annoyed me to be seated next to a table in a restaurant where someone was really loud. Now you not only get them loud, you get them loud on a cell phone. Heck, at least the other way, you could evesdrop on a two-way conversation–although those loud people usually aren’t being loud about anything very interesting. It’s usually the ones that are quietly speaking that are having the interesting conversation. And do I want to be browsing in the nice quiet of a book store, skimming back cover copy, reading the first few pages, RELAXING, when some big mouth on the next aisle over starts yammering about their stock transaction? I’ve seriously thought about asking them to take it outside because they’re being rude…but what would be the point? If they were worried about being rude they wouldn’t be blabbing their business in a public place anyway. :crazy:
I am not a fan of time travel.

Okay, I’ll admit I’m not particularly either–but it’s the futuristics I don’t care for. But my heroine goes back to 18th century Scotland. But, I’ll understand if you skip it.
