Journalist Thea and her fiancé, Giles, couldn’t be more excited about joining Coltrane McMurray’s inaugural journey to the year 2123. Or is it apprehension? After all, what if something goes wrong?
Their fears are validated when they arrive to find an alien world of scorching heat, flying cars, and eerie, human-like robots.
And a brutal murder by person or persons unknown.
As murder suspects, they are not allowed to leave. Until the police claim they solved the crime.
Finally free to go home, Thea’s nagging doubts about the case continue to haunt her. But to learn what really happened that awful day, she and Giles must give up their happy lives in 2023 to return to the future.
But unforeseen setbacks and heartbreak devastate them in 2123. And who is the mother-daughter duo that bear such an uncanny resemblance to Thea? Forced to master technology far more advanced than anything she’s ever seen, Thea vows to solve her friend’s murder. But will she ever see her home again?

1. If you could time travel anywhere, where would you choose to go?
If I had the power to slip through the veil of time—would I choose to travel to the year 2123 or to a previous era? Forward or backward?
To hop forward a century to 2123 is tempting. What sci-fi author wouldn’t want to visit the settings of their books? What will daily life look like for our descendants? Will artificial intelligence reign supreme? How will art, literature, and culture have evolved? These are all questions my imagination had to answer when I wrote both novels in my Time Passengers series. Trying to “pick the brains” of imaginary people whose worldview has been shaped by a century I can only guess at, was challenging, yet my conclusions painted an authentic world that could very well reflect reality in a hundred years.
Yet, the desire to move a century backward in time is just as compelling. I am captivated by the styles and attitudes of the Roaring 20s…crimped hairdos, flapper dresses, dancing until dawn. If I were brave enough, I might even visit a speakeasy!
Ultimately, if compelled to choose, I believe I would journey forward to 2123. To witness what humanity becomes, to see how our present choices ripple into tomorrow, would be the adventure of all adventures, and one that I got to experience vicariously through my characters.
2. Are you tech savvy? If not, what kind of research did you have to do to make sure future technology would make sense for readers in this century?
I would say my tech savvy quotient is average. I’m slow to adapt to new technologies, but once I catch on, I’m off and running. Therefore, to ensure that my depictions of future technology resonated with readers in this century, my future setting had to strike a delicate balance between scientific plausibility and imaginative speculation. My process began by considering current technological trends in AI, clothing styles, music, and quantum physics, then extrapolating all those trends out a hundred years to build a
believable future world.
For example, in 2123, what will replace the smartphone? Answer: the hologram.
What will replace the internet? Answer: The CLOUD (Communications: Local or Universal and Discreet)
And what will replace the automobile? The flying autopod, which runs on remote control technology and solar power.
I don’t want to give anything else away. You’ll have to read it for yourself!
About the Author
D.K. Till writes Split-Time Fiction With A Twist, a blend of the dual timeline fiction she enjoys mixed with a big helping of the sci-fi she loved as a child. The indie author from the land of microbrews and coffee snobs fell in love with reading in kindergarten when her older sister taught her to read. She used to impress her parents’ friends by reading aloud the entire short story The One Hundred Hats of Bartholomew Cubbins. In first grade, she knew she wanted to write stories, too. Throughout her childhood and teens, she either had her nose in a book or was attempting to write one.
But life got in the way, marriage and children set her dreams aside for higher purposes. Today, with children grown and enjoying retirement, she’s reopened that dream package and is now living the life she had only imagined.
The author is a huge fan of the Back to the Future trilogy, inspiring her to write time travel, too. Thus the Time Passengers series was born, perfect for fans of Back to the Future and The Terminator. A classic rock lover, she names her titles after hit rock songs of the 60s and 70s - Starry Starry Night, Midnight Rider, and Nights in White Satin.
