It was an idea that is becoming more popular in writing so I am led to believe. I wrote this book using my own real life experiences but inserting some fictional ideas into the text to make it compelling. Everyone, including the pets and the locations are real. Only the names of the people have been changed .
This is a story about traveling in time. If you could choose to travel back in time for just one day, what day would you choose and what would it be that you would change? Bear in mind that anything you did change could have catastrophic consequences when you return - if you could return.
Could you face living your life over again and would you then know your future and try to change all the mistakes you made? If you did this though, who knows what dangers you would instead place yourself in which would then
be unforeseen? Finally, if you had left loved ones to travel back in time, would some of them cease to exist because you changed something in the past?
The day I choose to travel back in time is a very personal incident that involves my first love. I could have chosen so many other days but this is one of the most nostalgic and one that I can remember quite vividly. Because it was a real event then it is more plausible and poignant and more likely to engage the reader. I could have chosen other days of course but these are perhaps for other books.
Inside the Clock is an attempt at a novel using as much reality as possible and you the reader will have to determine what is fact and what is fiction.
