The Time Bubble Series
The Time Bubble began as a single concept a decade ago and has since blossomed into an epic series of fourteen stories.
Each book comes at time travel from a different angle, exploring innovative themes with a light touch of sci-fi, a dash of romance and oodles of good old British humour. The series features a rich cast of characters who crop up at different stages of their lives, as the stories jump back and forth in time. Starting as teenagers in the first book, the principal characters are in their fifties by book four.

If you've already read (and hopefully enjoyed) them, as I mentioned on the home page, I would hugely appreciate it if you would leave a positive star rating on Amazon. It only takes a few seconds and you don't even have to write a review anymore - though if you want to, please do! And don't forget to tell a friend. We may live in a digital age but you can't beat good old word of mouth!
