The Third Rule of Time Travel

Scientist Beth Darlow doesn’t physically travel in time; her body is still in her lab, strapped to the machine that sends her consciousness back to the most traumatic moments of her life. Moments she can only observe but not change—unless she already has, merely by observation. But Beth’s project is about to be yanked out from under her, even though she’s on the brink of a breakthrough. She’s interested in research, but her shady funder’s plans are as unscrupulous as his financial dealings. He wants to change history for profit, while she’s convinced that she already has and it’s breaking her, one altered memory at a time. The framework of this story is the race for research funding and the cost of academic rivalry as Beth and her assistant pursue science while her funder plots to eliminate them and steal their project. Beth’s desperation to salvage her own ever-changing history makes her desperate, leading to a thrilling, high-stakes ending.
