When the two stumble on an explosive discovery as teenagers, their lives are upended and they are forced apart. A decade later, their accidental invention reunites them in a mysterious Arizona commune, aimed at one mission: making it possible for anyone to time travel. Harnessing the power and fluidity of consciousness they navigate time through their memories. Often at odds, London and Gable explore the boundless capability of the human mind in search of a better life. Just as they begin to find peace in the present, their world is turned upside down again and they are thrust into an alternate timeline.

Intimate and thrilling, The Luxury of Time Travel examines the power of our choices even in the face of infinite options.

The Origins of Time Travel

Time travel wasn’t discovered in a lab. It doesn’t happen in a machine.

When Ruth Riley decides to lie on the damp earth above John Parker’s freshly buried body, her simple aim is to escape her small life. What she does instead is unwittingly set in motion decades of discovery around the true nature of time travel.

As a psychic in a small Arizona ghost town, she felt doomed to die in the place she was born. Her only escape was her secret ability to travel into the past using the dead as a doorway. When she decides to nose around in the life of the town’s only murder victim in years, her otherwise boring existence is thrust into chaos.

Soon, she finds herself at the center of the murder investigation, operating as both the cops’ psychic sleuth and a time-hopping heroine, tasked with saving John’s life. With each trip back in time, Ruth attempts to learn more about the young man she’s falling in love with before he meets his seemingly inevitable end.

In this mind-warping exploration of consciousness, human potential and fate, Ruth sets into motion a series of events that echo through time and beg us all to confront the nature of our reality.  

My novelette

“What would you do to get your son back? Leave your husband? Drain your bank account? Risk your own life?” 

Ophelia paused for what felt like an appropriate few seconds to think, even though she didn’t need to. The answer was simple. she’d give it all up for Luke.

With a single "Yes", Ophelia goes from a grieving mother to the subject of a bizarre experiment held in the back offices of a family counseling center. Her naked body is ushered into a machine by a doctor she just met, searing pain rips through every fiber in her body and she's thrown two years into the past.

Back to when her son was alive. Back to when she thought the world was fair and kind. But the fate she meets during her second chance is another testament to just how cruel this world can be. 

As she unlocks the potential of her mind, time, and space, she races against the forces that seek to take her son once more. With the ferocity of a mother who has felt unimaginable loss, she fights to keep her family, and her memories, intact before both are lost forever.
