TEMPORA, THE TIME TRAVELLING TOURIST

Adrian Meiklejohn is mesmerised by a six-foot tall Amazonian Swede in skin-tight clothing and, rather foolishly, offers to show her a simulated time-travel device that St Mary's used to show educational holos to schools of life in Troy (aka taken her in one of the pods to actual Troy and let her think she was watching a holo). And because this is St Mary's so so many things went wrong. This was just the thing to read after Christmas lunch when everyone is either asleep or watching the King.

About the author

LOSE TRACK OF TIME IN THE WORLD OF JODI TAYLOR Jodi Taylor is the internationally bestselling author of over twenty-five novels and more short stories that you can shake a stick at. Her Chronicles of St Mary's series follows a bunch of disaster-prone individuals who investigate major historical events in contemporary time. Do NOT call it time travel! She is also the author of the Time Police books. Set in the same world as St Mary's, this spinoff charts the highs and lows of an all-powerful, international organisation tasked with keeping the Timeline straight no matter what the cost. Efficient and disciplined, obviously they're nothing like St Mary's. Except when they are. In 2024, The Ballad of Smallhope and Pennyroyal accidentally grew from a short story to a full-length novel, revealing the origin story of two beloved characters who feature in both series. Jodi is also known for her gripping supernatural thrillers featuring the mysterious Elizabeth Cage together with the enchanting Frogmorton Farm series - a fairy story for adults. Born in Bristol and now living in Gloucester (facts both cities vigorously deny), she spent many years with her head somewhere else, much to the dismay of family, teachers and employers, before finally deciding to put all that daydreaming to good use and write a book.
