Introducing my novel The Windmill of Time: A Time Travel Memoir
A TIME TRAVEL NOVEL BASED ON REAL-LIFE EVENTS & CHARACTERS...
We all have regrets, what “might” have been, “could” have been, or “should” have been, things we wish we hadn’t said or done and things we wish we had.
In 2010, Jeffrey learns that his college sweetheart has died when he searched her name in Google. All the memories, emotions, guilt, and regrets for Laureen that he had repressed for the past 35 years suddenly come back to haunt him.
Then in 2043 and the government is sending the elderly back in time to reduce the drain on Social Security and Medicare. Ninety-two-year-old Jeffrey embarks on a journey back to 1971 and his twenty-year-old body. Once united with his former self, he has but one goal - alter his past and correct the mistakes that caused him to lose his first love, Laureen. But present and future collide as Jeffrey ignores warnings from the scientists in 2043 and attempts to change major historical events. Armed with his knowledge of the future, and his memories of the past, Jeffrey explores the paradoxes of time travel until he begins to question his very existence-and the authorities begin to question where he came by his information. If he tells them the truth, he’ll probably be locked up in a mental institution, but if he doesn’t come up with a reasonable explanation, he could go to jail. Either way, his hopes of reliving his life with Laureen will be dashed.
The Windmill of Time begs the age-old question: can love really conquer time?
I am in love with the concept of time travel to reduce social security. A more detailed explanation of Douglas Adams's concept in the Hitchhikers' Guide universe, about how the future would go about mining the past, perhaps?
