Hi Anna,
I'm a big science nerd and a long time ago I'd been obsessed with something called "The Double Slit Experiment" which essentially was played with the idea that the behavior of particles could be affected simply by being observed. Separately, I often wondered what it would be like if you could travel back in time, to pivotal points in your own life, and relive them--but not change them. How that could be cool... but potentially horrific. Both of those ideas were building blocks for what became THE THIRD RULE OF TIME TRAVEL. From there the story grew and other ideas took shape. I hope you enjoy the final result.

I would say it's a form of communication with the subconscious. Less a talent, in my opinion, and more a genetic trait. Talent, then, is what hones/crafts that connection. Feels a bit like possession, at times, for sure. But you're sort of possessing yourself.

Yes, I think being a suburban kid in the 80s and the freedom we were allowed inspired many of the possibilities of what life could bring to someone at a young age.
