Synopsis:
2651: humans have colonised most of the Solar System, and have a vast theoretical knowledge of the Multiverse. The Martian branch of the Earth History Institute decides to put that knowledge into use by offering a few lucky students the chance to spend a short while on a different point of the spacetime continuum for research purposes.
Samir, a young Terran, takes this opportunity to experience London in the ‘90. A few years later he happens upon another time traveller, Beatrice, a young Progressive (human from the outer planetary systems). They fall in love, but for their story to work out they have to overcome their own prejudice and change their expectations from life.

About the Author:
Travelling around the world as an airhostess or an astronaut is a dream she has nurtured since childhood. However, in her teens, she realised that she preferred literature and philosophy to maths, physics and chemistry; that piloting an aircraft would be much more difficult than driving a car; and that airhostesses were usually taller than she was.
The study of law during her master’s degree course in Business Economics in Venice (Italy) convinced her that the diplomatic career was out of question too. At twenty-six, she left Italy to polish her English in London and there she married an Algerian man (Sami), worked in many different jobs; and attended many courses, including one in Counselling Skills.
Following a few years in France (where her daughter Sofia was born), and in the North of Italy, the beautiful seaside resort of Folkestone convinced her to come back to the UK. Here she frequented a few courses on Creative Writing and met lots of like-minded people.
Her love for Science Fiction, and the realisation that writing would allow her to fulfil her childhood dream of travelling, although just with her imagination, convinced her to teleport herself to London to attend a one-day workshop on what makes SF tick, led by bestselling SF author David Wingrove. Still eager to learn how to hone her craft, she also followed an online intensive writing course with renowned author Gay Hendricks.
Her short story A New Beginning appeared in The Folkestone 2014 Anthology and her novelette Homecoming was published in the SF magazine Nebula Rift in 2014. Her novella Across Spacetime will be released on 31 March 2017 by Fountain Blue Publishing.
She is currently working on its sequel and she volunteers as Deputy Editor with the SF magazine Nebula Rift.
