TIME TRAVEL involves History, it can’t be avoided; sometimes it’s concocted in order to fit the story line, but I take a different approach. My EPIC FABLES on the ELASTIC LIMIT of TIME, two Novels and a compilation of Short Stories, employ true HISTORY placed within an authentic context, and the situations described therein are all accurately portrayed. The best response I've gotten from using this protocol are from those who don't, as a rule, read HISTORY and are thereby un-expectantly pleased by this aspect, which after all, is only secondary to the overall TIME TRAVELING plot. Here’s a partial list of Historically known figures and documented events I've covered, with the appropriate book title (BEYOND the ELASTIC LIMIT, PIERCING the ELASTIC LIMIT or TALES of the ELASTIC LIMIT) capitalized: GENERAL PREHISTORY: Neolithic (Ancient Humans): BEYOND, chapters 1, 3; TALES, Part Three (chapters 9, 10, 11, 12) Early Human Society Forms: BEYOND, chapter 1, 2, 4, 5; TALES chapters 10, 11, 12 Religious Belief Codified: BEYOND, chapters 2, 5, 10; PIERCING, chapter 5 Rise of Agriculture: BEYOND, chapters 2, 5; TALES, chapter 11 Early Commerce: BEYOND, chapters 2, 5; TALES, chapters 9, 10, 11 Discovery of the Wheel: TALES, chapter 10 Written Language Begins: TALES, chapter 9 ANCIENT HISTORY: Language as Symbols: PIERCING Part Two (chapters 4, 5, 6); TALES, chapters 6, 9 Archimedes of Syracuse (Higher Mathematics, Scientifically Applied Warfare): TALES, chapter 8 Julius Caesar vs. Pompey the Great (Rise of Empires): PIERCING, Part One (chapters 1, 2, 3) MIDDLE AGES: Henry VIII (Age of Modern Sailing Ships, Onset of Science): TALES, chapter 7 Politics of Elizabethan England: PIERCING, Part Two (chapters 4, 5, 6) Christopher Marlowe, William Shakespeare (Classical Literature Established for the Masses): PIERCING, Part Two (chapters 4, 5, 6) EARLY MODERN: Robert Schumann, Johannes Brahms, Felix Mendelssohn & others (Classical Music Rises to the Fore): PIERCING, Part Three (chapters 7, 8, 9) Thomas Jefferson (Age of Fossils, Modern Higher Education Established): TALES, chapter 6 MODERN HISTORY: Albert Einstein (Science Accepted as an Established Discipline): TALES, chapter 5 History of Commerce: BEYOND, chapters 2, 4; TALES, chapter 9, 11 EXPLORING HUMAN CONCEPTS: Good and Evil: All of BEYOND Business Run Amuck: All of PIERCING Evolving Human Society: TALES, Parts Two and Three (chapters 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12) TIME TRAVEL EXPLAINED: Theory and Hardware Needed: BEYOND, chapters 7, 8, 9; PIERCING, chapters 9, 10, 11, 12; TALES, chapters 2, 3, 4 Paradox Avoided: TALES, chapter 2 Loops in Time: BEYOND, chapters 10, 11, 12; PIERCING, Part One (chapters 1, 2, 3, 4); TALES, chapter 2 Alternate Timelines: BEYOND, all chapters; PIERCING, chapter 12; TALES, chapters 2, 3

You can’t read or write time travel or Alternative History unless you have a decent grasp of actual history.

I agree with the writing comment, not so much the reading; anyone can enjoy my books, not just History buffs
