Episode 219 Sponsor:

Out Of Time Final FullOut of Time – Five Tales of Time Travel is a collection of five all new tales of time travel by five different previously published and award-winning writers.

Each story explores a different aspect of time travel or looks at it from a unique point of view. In one, a woman travels back in time to cushion the loss of her mother, unaware of what she trades in return.  In another, a couple returns to the 1930’s to save the future they know, but find they must participate in the crime of the century to do it. In a third, a man returns to the Old West to rescue a fellow time traveler, but his plan spins out of control when a woman in that brutal past decides she wants to use his return ticket as much as he does. These and two other fantastic stories are all in the collection OUT OF TIME. This e-book is only on Kindle, and now it’s only 99 cents.

All royalties from this book go to support Doctors Without Borders, the international medical aid agency providing critical healthcare to those who need it most, no matter where they are.
