How much of a Historian are you in Contemporary Time? The things I so enjoy about your books (and yes, I've finished thru #9 though I'm starting into the short stories) is your very-Terry-Pratchett-ish writing style, and reading the "briefings" for each Historical Exploration. Who does your research? Thank you for St.Mary's.

Hi. I do my own research. Masses of it and sadly, most of it is never used. I once spent two days reading up on the War of Jenkins's Ear and I think it was about two lines in the book. I'm not much interested in contemporary time - it's a bit of a struggle to get up in the morning for anything after 1485! Thanks for enjoying the books. Jodi.

I absolutely adore your books, can’t get enough of them. How long does the journey take once the world goes white? Does anything happen in the meantime while travelling? I assume the journey must have some length as emergency extraction is quicker. Also, where has Van Owen gone? Did she get better? Will she come back? Thanks xx

A thought & A question - From a technical point of view 3 locations, at least one far from st Mary's, acting as back up for each other is far more sensible than one or two locations, aside from Time wars there are fires, crazy climate events and regular wars, etc. Any hints as to how Max, et al, get back to usual St Mary's chaos, as she is there when Matthew goes to work for TP?
