 Guest blog by Wendy Nikel THE GRANDMOTHER PARADOX is now out into the world, and I'm thrilled to be able to share this time travel tale with you all! While I'm writing or revising a story, one of my favorite things to do — if I'm able — is to visit the place where it is set. Just standing in the place where the scenes took place is a great way for me to bring all my senses into the prose. Thus, while I was working on THE GRANDMOTHER PARADOX, I arranged for my family to visit the Museum of Science and Industry in Chicago, which just happens to be the only building from the 1893 World's Fair that remains in its original location.  It just so happened that while we were there, the museum had a LEGO display, which worked out well for us, since playing with LEGOs happens to be one of my kids' favorite things to do. Among the models on display was one of the museum, made entirely of LEGO bricks.  And one of the Ferris Wheel, one of the best-known features of the Fair:  And while I may not be an expert enough builder to construct something of that magnitude (the displays there were incredibly impressive), I did try my hand, in honor of THE GRANDMOTHER PARADOX's release, at re-creating some of the key scenes in my novella. Enjoy!     Wendy Nikel is a speculative fiction author with a degree in elementary education, a fondness for road trips, and a terrible habit of forgetting where she's left her cup of tea. Her short fiction has been published by Fantastic Stories of the Imagination, Daily Science Fiction, Nature: Futures, and elsewhere. For more info, visit wendynikel.com
We're proud to present the next installment of Wendy Nikel's Place in Time series, THE GRANDMOTHER PARADOX, out now in ebook and paperback. This novella follows Nikel's January 2018 debut, THE CONTINUUM, and we'll have news for you soon about what's coming next. When Dr. Wells, the head of the Place in Time Travel Agency, learns that someone's trying to track down the ancestors of his star employee, there are few people he can turn to without revealing her secrets. But who better to jump down the timeline and rescue Elise from being snuffed out of existence generations before she's born than the very person whose life she saved a hundred years in the future? But Juliette Argent isn't an easy woman to protect. The assistant to a traveling magician, she's bold, fearless, and has a fascination with time travel, of all things. Can the former secret agent Chandler, with his knowledge of what's to come, keep her safe from harm and keep his purpose there a secret? Or will his presence there only entangle the timeline more? What Early Readers Are Saying "This is a fun, fast read that brought to mind old favorite shows like Quantum Leap and Sliders…Nikel has created something delightful and fun in this series." "Packed with action, drama, comedy and final revelations, Nikel’s new chapter is an extraordinary continuation of her time travel universe." "Nikel provides a wonderfully detailed snapshot of life in the late 19th century, replete with colorful side characters and historical nuggets that bring the scenes to life."
