Just to let you know, I have added a new page to my web site for Time Meddlers Undercover. It has basic information on the Special Operations Executive, Anne Frank, and the Dutch Resistance. It also has a little personal note, and some reading group questions in the Bonus section--please don't read these unless you've read the book. Release is still scheduled for the fall. What do you think of the cover? I think it illustrates a great deal of what this book is about, and captures the deadly atmosphere.

Now I'm on to other things. Time Meddlers Three, first draft done. I have some ideas for a YA series--little romance, little supernatural activity, great tropical setting, intriquing characters. This should take me a few months, or years. . .

Just a wonderful break, and we didn't go far. A museum trek: The Aviation Museum, to get some dazzling photos for the website and take in the gargantuan aircraft. The Museum of Civilization, to gawk at the Egyptian exhibit--Ramses II statue, a couple of mummies and amazing artifacts. We took in a movie and a hockey game--the Senators even won! Like a holiday at home, but the sun was deceptive. It's still Ottawa, after all.

I'd like to thank Mrs. Shaheen's Grade 6 class for the incredible letters! I'm busy answering them, but it may take me a few days. I'm tickled pink that you enjoyed Time Meddlers so much. To answer a recurring question--No, Matt and Sarah are not based on anyone in particular. Although there may be a few traits that my kids and I share with them, they are entirely the product of my imagination. But I love them just the same.

Letters in the mail soon . . .

Actually,the release date has been moved up. We're now looking at a fall release, September 28. I hope everything will go according to schedule. In the meantime, I should be posting information about Time Meddlers Undercover on my website shortly. It will give you a comprehensive look at some of the research components of TMU. Hope you find it interesting.

Hi there. I just received word of a tentative release date for Time Meddlers Undercover. It should be December 28, 2009, but I won't hold my breath, because you know how these things go. I should have some information about it, a cover page, and the first chapter up on my website in the near future.

Stay tuned . . .

Just a little note to let you know that Time Meddlers has just been released as an e-book on Fictionwise. Already it has leaped onto the bestseller list, after one day. Interesting, and rather exciting! I will have some more news shortly regarding Time Meddlers Undercover--hopefully a release date.

Yes, I'm still waiting on Time Meddlers Undercover. An endless process, I know. In the meantime I've nearly completed the first draft of Time Meddlers 3. Now, first draft means just that. I like to leave it to grow dusty in a drawer for a few months before I pull it out again and begin revising. But I really think it's coming!
