Time After Time
Recently, the WSJ wrote about Cyndi Lauper's songwriting process for her hit single "Time After Time." The song was inspired by her personal life, but also by the book Time and Again by Jack Finney. Here's a list of some upcoming time travel books. May they inspire your creative endeavors.
Into the Dim by Janet B. Taylor (Publication Date: March 1, 2016)
Hope Walton feels out of place because she's a brunette in a family full of blondes, but little does she suspect that she's descended from a family of time-travelers. The time travel method has something to do Nikola Tesla and takes her to Scotland. Comparisons to Outlander abound.
