August's Giveaway is:I'll Be Seeing You Through Time

Jennifer Conner is donating two autographed copies of the book and also a book locket necklace.

So I would have to say one lucky winner will get an autographed book and the bonus necklace and our second winner will be getting the second autographed book.

If there are any authors out there who would like to be included in our monthly giveaway, please let me know.

Here is the amazon listing:

Glenn and Jewel are separated by time. Glenn in the present and Jewel back in her own time of 1942. Glenn bridges the time gap and communicates with Jewel in her dreams.

Winners will be randomly drawn from those who answer the following question:

If you could communicate to anyone in history past, present or future, through dreams, who would you contact and what would you say?

Winners will be announced August 15 so get your answers posted soon.

Is it just me, or is that Nathan Fillion on the cover? ;)

Captain Reynolds...at first I looked at the photograph bottom right but yes I agree top left looks like him just a bit.

The first thought that comes to mind is a chance to contact ancestors, or descendents, would anyone try to warn the world to avoid a tragedy of the past? Talk to relatives 100 years from now...would be cool to me.

Hmm come to think of it, Martin Luther King must have been a time traveller as he kept having these dreams and they all seem to have come true!



Well, one person I have been deeply moved by in history from her own words is Anne Frank. Even if I time travelled physically, the Nazi occupation would prevent any opportunity to meet her and just tell her that she wont be forgotten, she will be a legend and whatever darkness comes wont be for nothing. She cant be saved, history has to roll as it happened.

But in dream I could communicate that to her subconscious mind without the physical obstacles of the Nazis. It would be perfect because subconsciously, when the end draws near, she can at least feel that slight comfort from her vivid dream that her father will spread her legacy and her diary will be embedded into the hearts of millions of people for many generations to come.


Nice question, and I actually quite like to read the book too, I like the synopsis and being just a 107 pages long, sound like a sweet short story.

I'd communicate with the President, at least 6 months before 9/11. It would give me time to convince him, give him every detail of the operation, so that every high jacker could be stopped, and higher security could be put in place. Saving 3000 lives would save all of their unborn descendants, as well. I'd like to see the Holocaust stopped even more, but maybe another of you has a better idea for that.

Great answers both Tej and Bill!!

Has anyone considered a lighter side of dream communication. Perhaps whip up a nightmare for those you don't like. I can see a YA novel here, about a twelve year old who uses his new found power to get back at the school bully.

I would maybe communicate with my mother or my father when they were young and ask them to be more supportive and less critical to their eventual, shy and sensitive daughter...
Booo! Not exactly on the lighter side, sorry! But I turned out all right.

I am sure more than alright, Debbie as I look at your "Dont mess with me, buster" profile pic, I'm sure you defied the criticisms :) Hope your parents are/were proud of you since and on reflection as adults, we should remember that our parents were also "growing up" as they too get older and wiser in their ways...well in theory, anyway, my father didnt hold true to that statement, in fact he got bloody worse! Oh well. But hey if we got the dream time travel power, then yeah lets drop a hint to our young parents...though I think it will be futile on my absolutely bonkers of a dad.

Ha, Lincoln you gonna have to embrace yourself because we're a bittersweet lot :) Sorry about that, thank god you have some groovy contrasting dream communications ;) Revenge on school bullies? nice. Mess with their head in their dreams...oh yeah that will be fun!

I would contact my mother... when she was 30 and tell her to get a preventive mastectomy. Then we would be still be swapping books today.

Do people heed warnings in dreams? Would they remember the dream after awakening? I guess these are 2 things to worry about. When I got my learner's driving permit at age 15, my father took an afternoon nap and dreamed that I backed our van into the posts of the carport. He then woke up and decided to let me drive our van to church that evening. It was a cargo van with no windows on one side. I backed it into the post of the carport just as he'd dreamed (and I'm only slightly better at backing a vehicle several decades later). Had he heeded the warning of the dream we could have avoided such a disaster ... but he didn't.

I rarely dream of people I know: except people that I've lost. Those are the people I'd most like to truly speak to in a dream. Sometimes I like to think that I do ... that they've come back to me if only briefly in my dreams. But seeing them is always a little bittersweet. I'm happy to be with them but sad to know that they're really gone. Mainly, it's not that I'd want to dream of them to warn them of anything so much as it is to be with them. There's nothing I could say that would change why they're lost to me, but I'd like to spend just one more day with them ... and know that the day was truly spent with them and not just an image my mind had created of them.

My answer is probably too writer oriented, but I would love to communicate with Professor George G. Williams. He was an English professor at Rice University in Houston (my home town!!!) He died in 2000. I love to go to estate sales. While at one a few years ago, I found a book on creative writing written in 1935 by him. Now I've read a ton of 'how to write' books and attended numerous workshops and went to college for my creative writing degree, but this book is by far the best book on creative writing I've ever read. Ever. It's so good it reads like a novel in many places. And he wrote it when he was 32. Freaking 32!!!! So much of this man's genius on writing and life sneaks through his non-fiction writing. Amazing! Made me feel like a crap writer and I couldn't write for about two weeks, lol!

Plus he was a huge bird lover, like me! So, I would love to meet and talk with Mr. Williams.

My future grandchildren. I'd want to know if there was anything I could do now to make their lives better. -Laura

I would love to have a sit down with Richard III and have him answer many questions that have been perplexing people throughout the ages, for example:

Was he personally responsible for the death of his nephews?
If not, which of his court would have had the time, and the nerves of steel required to murder children and to make the ride from York to London in order to commit the deed?

I would also like to be able to see for myself whether he was deformed in anyway and also here him explain his reasoning behind a lot of the reforms he brought to England, and why he chose the North, particularly York, as his favourite home.

Good questions!

I think I'd contact Jacqueline Kennedy, to convince her to start a "War on Bullying". If we had begun something like that, we might have made a difference in the epidemic of teen suicides today. I think she MIGHT have been a perfect role model for this.

I am currently interested in genealogy and wish I had asked my mom and dad questions about their lives and their ancestors (that are only names to me) before they died. Now almost everyone is gone and I am relying on the internet for answers and it is amazing when trying to track ancestors how many people with the same name and approximate birthdate are in a given geographic location. It is so easy to track the wrong person.

As for "famous" people--I would like to have conversations (even if only through dreams) with Louisa May Alcott, Helen Keller, Albert Einstein, and Queen Victoria. In fact, it would probably be easier to communicate with Helen Keller through dreams.

Oh yes, I would like to ask Robert Heinlein how he could not believe in time-travel (as was disclosed in Grumbles from the Grave. Lazarus Long is one of my all time favorite characters and Heinlein wrote so convincingly of time-travel. I felt betrayed when I read Grumbles from the Grave!!!

Hmmm... Bill, I am afraid that would not work!
According to someone, he already knew... ;)

anyhow, answering the question: I would go back and talk with father (he died only 56) ... what would I tell him? Oh... a lot of things we didn't have the time to discuss about...

Denise, I saw now your reply :) interesting.... actually, I had a short conversation with Albert... in one of my short stories! :))))

Oh yea, Piero, I forgot that detail. Maybe I'll just tell him that he doesn't get away with it.

Speaking of dreaming about knives for fingers ... I'm surprised I didn't dream of someone coming after me with nail-polish-painted chicken claws for fingers after reading this bedtime story last night: Tom. Slightly disturbing but interesting nonetheless...
