Time Travel Query
Anybody got a working time machine? Because I could use to re-run the last two weeks, or at the very least, go back to 1996 and document some of my research more precisely.
But that's not what I really wanted to ask you.
As you may know, Bob, my time-travel/slavery/coming of age novel The Freedom Maze is coming out this November, just (we hope) in time for World Fantasy. In Big Mouth House's admirable Author Questionnaire is a request for a list of comparable books. Between my terrible memory and my penchant for books published 40 or more years ago, I have come up dry as a saltpan. Can anybody out there help me?
Here's my potted/patented description:
Set against the burgeoning Civil Rights movement of the 1960s, and then just before the outbreak of the Civil War, FREEDOM MAZE explores both political and personal liberation, and how the two intertwine. Sophie, a lonely white girl in 1960’s Louisiana, loves to read. When she meets a magical creature in her great-aunt’s maze, she hopes for a fantasy book adventure with herself as the heroine. Instead, she gets a real adventure in the race-haunted world of her family’s Louisiana sugar plantation in 1860, where she is mistaken for a slave.
Anything out there that might help the marketing folks sell Many Copies to B&N?
