Having written stacks of historical stories, and even dabbled with time travel in Rory and Slater, I decided to have a go at a proper Time Travel tale. But, being me, I couldn't do a single genre, so it's a mash-up with Dungeons and Dragons. The first DnD scenario is fantasy (a sequel to Labyrinth), and the second is a ghost story featuring Warwick Castle. As for the third - recognise the building behind the football?
Time & Time Again
Big Bang Theory meets Stranger Things meets Labyrinth with a fun helping of time travel.
Ben has a problem. Well, several really, if the truth be told. With a borderline narcissist for a boss and a prankster lady-killer for a desk-mate, his work life at a gaming firm isn’t wall-to-wall playtime. The last thing he needs is a promotion, much less a bright, attractive feminist as the first addition to his new coding team. But when they all join the same Dungeons and Dragons party, it makes for an interesting life. Throw in a claustrophobic living arrangement and a global pandemic and there's plenty of scope for fun and adventure.
But what they find in the attic turns everything on its head.
For fans of modern adventure and quirky fantasy with irreverent British humour and a slice of the unexpected.
Just in Time
Big Bang Theory meets Most Haunted with a fun helping of time travel.
Jen’s always known her take on life wasn’t exactly conventional – being deserted by a weak-willed father skewed her view of all men, compounded by unrealistic expectations based on her brother’s role-model for the perfect partner. Hence still being on the shelf with her 33rd birthday just around the corner. Living in a house with three extremely eligible males didn’t help, especially when two of them vied for her attention, but the only one who came close to meeting her ideal was walking out with her best friend. Watching them together hurt, although being in her own real-life version of Friends meets Big Bang Theory had advantages, especially when Kev took a turn at being Dungeon Master, leading them on a madcap ghost tour of an extremely haunted castle.
But an unexpected visit to Wimbledon reveals things about her past she never wanted to face.

Time Kicks Back
Big Bang Theory meets The Imitation Game with a fun helping of time travel..
Solving a crime committed 22 years before you're born is never easy. But a time machine helps.
Kev knows his house mates are keeping secrets, but do they really think he came down with yesterday’s rain? Time-travel indeed! His own dark secrets – and the way he rocks a trench coat and fedora – make him perfectly placed for the spy part in Isaac’s role-playing WWII scenario set in Bletchley Park.
His first trip to 1966 leaves him with mind-bending memories of an historic event and a completely different impression of his reluctant travelling companion, Georgie. He always fancied himself as a sleuth, but an investigative follow-up trip puts Kev in a right pickle as brushes with tough London gangsters awaken violent demons he thought deeply buried.
In both adventures, Georgie bears the brunt of his frustrations, but what is it they say about hurting the one - no, seriously?
Third in the Time Doctors series, this fun-filled romp can be read as a stand-alone.
Dragons plagued Georgie her whole life. The clue’s in the name.
She’s no saint, so when it’s her turn to be dungeon master, she takes her revenge with a good old-fashioned Dragon-slaying adventure. Well, they do say stick with what you know, huh? But her scenario has startling effects on more than one player in their party.
Secrets plagued Kev’s childhood. The kind his parents still don’t talk about for fear of the consequences. After his jaunts to the past unlock long-suppressed dark memories, he has to return to 1988 to solve the mystery surrounding his conception. A little digging leads to some seriously shocking possibilities. Is he strong enough to face the disturbing truth?

Turn Back Time
They say three's a crowd. And Isaac doesn't like crowds.
He likes his cousin Lizzie even less. So the day she invites herself to stay and he gains a third woman sharing his life, he’s not a happy bunny. Based on bitter childhood memories, he imagines she’ll pick up her cruel torment where she left off. He’s not wrong. And there’s no safety in numbers as all his housemates are fair game for her particular brand of torture. Even work holds none of its normal refuge as his boss sics a Rottweiler on him to scrutinise his every move.
2022 wanes, diminishing his opportunities to use the Time Machine for his grand plan. The trouble is, it requires a level of cooperation from certain individuals. And Isaac doesn’t do people.
Big Bang Theory meets Norse Gods with a fun helping of time travel.
If you like The Big Bang Theory, you'll see a lot of Sheldon in Isaac - and fans of Marvel's Thor movies (especially Loki) will appreciate some Norse myths which haven't yet made the cut.
