Oh the excitement! When to Now, the time travel anthology, is out tomorrow, October 1, and I have a story in it. But I’m not the only one, and the variety and quality of the other seventeen stories prompted me to give you a little taste of what to expect. They vary in length, from quick read to satisfying short novellas, so you can find a story to suit the time you have available. Here are the first lines of each story , and my three-word summaries of them. The latter was a challenge, but I gave it a try. Buy it, and see what you think. The Kindle version is only $2.99 right now.
