A Companion to Out of Time

by Bruce Macfarlane

Overview

I've produced this booklet to provide some background information on how I wrote my science fiction novels: 'The Time Travel Diaries of James Urquhart and Elizabeth Bicester’.
Its primary purpose is to try and give an insight into how I developed the plot in the form the novel was written and also the origin of the material I used to support it. Writing a story involving traveling in time without ending up in paradoxical corners is quite difficult and because of this I've devoted a fair amount of this booklet and quite a few passages in my novel on the subject in the hope of explaining to myself what I think is meant by Time.

About the Author

Bruce is a retired Health Physicist who lives with his wife on the south coast of England, just a few minutes' walk from the sea. When he's not researching King Arthur, he's out walking on the South Downs with his wife and his friends trying to remember all the names of the flowers and mushrooms his wife has identified.
When it's raining he can be found sometimes in his "shed" as his wife calls it, trying to master new jazz chords.
A life of writing scientific reports and reading early science fiction, especially the genre of time travel such as the works of Anderson, Simak and Wells encouraged him to start writing his own novels about the adventures of a modern man and a Victorian lady whom he met at a cricket match in 1873.
His stories, The Time Travel Diaries of James Urquhart and Elizabeth Bicester, have been described as "Tom Holt meets P.G. Wodehouse meets Philip K. Dick meets Fortean Times."
