Or you could revisit your teen years through the power of Beatles music to alter your present—or accompany a time traveler from the future. Wouldn't you leap at the chance? In Time Travel Times 5, Vincent Miskell, the author of Godspeed Inc. and Rescuing the Future, invites you along on five fantastic journeys through time:

Selling July 4th: They'd never have gotten around to proposing the damned thing that summer if it hadn't been for me! Sure, everybody knows now that it was signed July 4, 1776, but it wasn't always.

It Won't Be Long: With a Little Help from the Beatles: No tears fall from my eyes, but the surging crescendo of countless trumpets and gigantic singing angels make me want to cry. I am shaking and almost sobbing with an ecstasy that propels me straight up into the azure air.

W.C. Fields Sends this Regards: "Young lady!" Fields dramatically bellowed in his high nasal voice. "My eyes must accept your too corporeal reality. Here, give me your hand."

Wizard of AZ: Milton H. Erickson, M.D, stood, politely shook my hand, and asked me to take a seat in an authentic wooden chair. As I maneuvered sideways in my lavender high-heels and purple-print dress, trying not to fall on my rubber-girdled butt, I wondered how many times this had happened before. But there was no way to tell because each attempt erased the earlier ones.

Dogs: The dog looks at me with a fiery loathing in her watery brown and usually fawn-like eyes. It is 4:33 in the morning, and this is the sixth time I've interrupted her sleep to head toward the bathroom or grab another book from the pile in the living room.

Review by: Joy Smith on Sep. 16, 2011 :
This time travel e-book has a variety of time travel tales and a fantastic cover!

Selling July 4th

In this story a time traveler tampers with the past by visiting some of our country's forefathers...

It Won't Be Long: With a Little Help from the Beatles

This is one of my favorites. Using music and musicians, the author crafts a marvelous story, and the hero attempts to rectify his mistakes and turn his life around. He also tries to do what a lot of us wish we'd done!

W.C. Fields Sends His Regards

A woman's obsession with old movies and W.C. Fields changes her life when she intrudes into his.

Wizard of AZ

My second favorite, and I learn what abreaction means: Bringing repressed memories to the surface. A fascinating SF story, wherein temporal agents seek help from a psychiatrist so that they can remember their past assignments, but they never expected to remember what they discovered.

Dogs

As seen in some of the earlier stories, humans can't be trusted not to tamper with time, so maybe we need better time guardians, but can they do the job?
