Much enjoying this series, thanks! Max refers frequently to a "data stack". Is this some type of futuristic tablet device? (Google is unhelpful and refers me to something that does not seem to fit what Max mentions.)
Jodi Taylor
Actually I made it up. I wanted something futuristic and in my mind's eye I saw a vertical 3D database in the form of a holograph that could be moved and manipulated as the user required. There would be different colours and voice to text and lots of other features that I really know absolutely nothing about but seemed a good idea at the time. I think I imagined the keyboard incorporated into a tabletop and the data stack could be activated from there.
I hope this makes sense to you but just in case, please don't refer any of this to your IT section because already I worry about historians and physicists spitting on me in the streets without adding IT experts as well. Best wishes, Jodi.

Hello Jodi: You've self-published a book which then got picked up by a traditional publishing house. Other than great writing, solid characters and inventive plot, how did they find you? And do you have other self-published works out there that didn't get picked up? Or did you pull them off the rack? Thanks and although you've left the self-publishing club, we still root for you!

Hi Jodi, I'm really sorry to bother you, I expect your extremely busy at the moment, but I've a question that is really nagging at me. What was it that Max's father did to her as a child? It seems like a big thing for me to forget, so I feel a bit silly asking (I blame busy mum brain). I've scanned back over a few books, but I don't seem to be able to find that part of the story.

My GR group read your first book, but we can't understand the end. So Max and Deiter put a bomb in one of the pods and painted tb2 on the side, Ronan leaves in that same pod, Max recognizes the letters tb2 when they were at the Cretaceous period, and Max says that hasn't happened yet, them going to the Cretaceous period. How is it Ronan's past and their future when they were all there together at the same time?
