The Windmill of Time: A Time Travel Memoir (eBook, ePUB)

Beschreibung

What if you had the opportunity to return to the past in a universe with time travel? We all have regrets, what "might" have been, "could" have been, or "should" have been, things we wish we hadn't said or done and things we wish we had. The Windmill of Time is a time travel memoir based on the relationship of Jeffrey Goldberg and Laureen Shigeko Tanaka during 1970-1974 at Southampton College, LIU. In 2010, Jeffrey learns that his college sweetheart has died when he searched her name in Google. All the memories, emotions, guilt, and regrets for Laureen that he had repressed for the past 35 years suddenly come back to haunt him. It's 2043 and the government is sending the elderly back in time to reduce the drain on Social Security and Medicare. Ninety-two-year-old Jeffrey Goldberg embarks on a journey back to 1971 and his twenty-year-old body. Once united with his former self, Jeffrey has but one goal-alter his past and correct the mistakes that caused him to lose his first love, Laureen. But present and future collide as Jeffrey ignores warnings from the scientists in 2043 and attempts to change major historical events. Armed with his knowledge of the future, and his memories of the past, Jeffrey explores the paradoxes of time travel until he begins to question his very existence-and the authorities begin to question where he came by his information. If he tells them the truth, he'll probably be locked up in a mental institution, but if he doesn't come up with a reasonable explanation, he could go to jail. Either way, his hopes of reliving his life with Laureen will be dashed. The Windmill of Time begs the age-old question: can love really conquer time?

Autor

Jeffrey Goldberg has had a fascination with the concept of time ever since he was a child growing up in the Bronx during the 1950's. He considers himself an interloper in the present and always keeps one foot anchored in the past.

His attraction to time travel movies and fiction began when he saw The Time Machine in 1960. He prefers the novels and short stories of author Jack Finney who uses the convention of time travel in everyday settings without the use of futuristic devices.

Goldberg graduated from Southampton College LIU, in 1974, with a B.A. in English. He moved to Los Angeles in 1977 where he pursued numerous careers from teaching elementary school to teaching golf to working for a national company as a direct mail consultant. In 1991 he purchased his first business and has been self-employed ever since. For the past 10 years he's been selling used books on Amazon.

He currently lives in Carlsbad, CA with his wife Inez and is anxiously waiting for the release of his first novel by Black Opal Books, The Windmill of Time: A Time Travel Memoir, and for the invention of a time machine...at least the last time we checked.
