If there’s an author you appreciate, one of the simplest, most helpful, least expensive things you can do for them is ask your public library to add that author’s newest book to their collection.

Many library websites have a form for that. So give it a try, and make an author’s day!

The Tether. The device that anchors the Time Surfers to the present, even as they dive into the past.

Each Surfer’s is different.

This is an early sketch of the tether on board the Fish - Caleb and his father’s time surfing craft.
