Coming Feb.1 to bookstores and Amazon -THE MINDTRAVELER
With more of her life behind her than ahead, Margaret Braverman, a physicist teaching at a small college, cannot help but regret the things she never quite got right. Fortunately, after years of experimentation in the back room of her lab, Margaret has finally built a time machine.
The key, she discovered, is in teleporting not the body but the mind. And so, at 5:03 p.m. on May 3, 2012, Margaret teleports her mind to her 1987 self.
Comic, beautifully written, with a solid grounding in science and a thorough sympathy for its characters, THE MINDTRAVELER captures the universal desire for a second chance.
Some quotes from fellow authors on THE MINDTRAVELER -
"The wonderful thing about Ms. Rozanski’s particular version of sojourning in the future and the past is that – as nowhere else in the genre, to my knowledge – she explores time travel’s wrenching emotional complications; and even moral complications. Visiting a former self is, in this analysis, a philosophical and psychological journey, replete with the lessons of remorse and gratitude, teasing the paradoxes of free will and fate and choice. - Louis B. Jones, author of New York Times Notable Books ORDINARY MONEY, PARTICLES AND LUCK and CALIFORNIA’S OVER
"Packed with ideas and whimsical notions, THE MINDTRAVELER is a playful take on time travel and memory, what we can change and what we can't. Good science-y fun!" Charles Yu, author of HOW TO LIVE SAFELY IN A SCIENCE FICTIONAL UNIVERSE
"Like all the best science fiction, The Mind Traveler works both as story and as metaphor. In the story, a pair of time-crossed lovers struggle to fulfillment. But the metaphor provides something deeper, a meditation on the nature of free will, memory, and regret." - Paul Park, author of A PRINCESS OF ROUMANIA
