It's About Time: Fiction about Time Travel
Daylight savings time starts officially at 2 am on Sunday March 10 and continues until November 3. We'll lose an hour of sleep this weekend but will get extra daylight in the evenings.
I always have a hard time adjusting to these time shifts. Just imagine how much harder it would be if I were a time-traveller.
This is a short selection of recently published time-travel novels for adults.
