Trying to socially engineer the world’s population is not easy, especially when you discover that a pair of reluctant time travellers keep on getting in the way of your plan.
The problems all started when James Urquhart, science lecturer, living in 2015, was enjoying a walk in the countryside and met Elizabeth Bicester, a Victorian Cambridge graduate, at a cricket match at Hamgreen in 1873.
Of course, he didn’t know it was 1873. All he knew was that he’d found a rather attractive woman who looked like she’d fallen straight out of a Tissot painting.
Perhaps if he hadn’t left his phone and she hadn’t picked it up, the story might have ended there.But it didn’t.
If only Time had stayed where it was, it would have been a lot easier for everyone.

From the humorous and sometimes romantic adventures of James Urquhart and Elizabeth Bicester

In writing my time travel books there were three challenges. The first to portray how a Victorian and a person from modern times experienced each other's worlds. To do this I wanted the hero and heroine to write their own version of the adventure rather than from the perspective of one person. This allowed me to get into and portray each other's mind. The second, was to make their relationship as humorous as possible and the third, the most difficult, was to ensure that the female was an equal to the male. I don't know whether I managed it but I tried. If you're interested you can download my book "A Companion to Out of Time" which gives some insights on how I wrote the book.
