Wakening the Past: A Time Travel Romance (Medicine Stick Series Book 2) (17 page)

Barbara Bartholomew became intrigued with the notion of time travel when she was a little girl and listened to her grandfather talk about the possibility that time was itself a separate dimension and discuss Einstein’s theories on the subject. Her first published short story was “Wheel of Fire” in
Analog
magazine, which saw a traveler venturing into Elizabethan times, and in the 1980s she wrote the time travel trilogy for young adults,
The Time Keeper, Child of Tomorrow
and
When Dreamers Cease to Dream
after an editor asked her what she would write if her choices were wide open. Now as an independent writer, she has made the same choice and likes to explore lasting relationships against a backdrop of a constantly changing fantasy world.
