If you could live in any era...

All eras would be great to live in if you were rich

Chris...this is something that I've actually thought a lot about. Every time I do research for something I write I end up falling in love with a time period. As far as "living" in an era, I wouldn't choose any one but this one. There are many that I'd like to visit for a time, though. 19th century America, in many different areas of the country; Victorian England; North America before the arrival of the first Europeans; the first CroMagnan tribes to see how their society was constructed; the late 19th century when my greatgrandmother first stepped foot on American soil after a boat ride from Ireland.

The list goes on....
I'd always want to come home, though.

I'd like to have been a gunslinger in the wild wild west. I probably wouldn't last five minutes though.

Deadwood has a lot to answer for

Every since being hooked on "The Time Tunnel" as a child, I've been fascinated with time travel movies and books. It's led to some fascinating (read: "loud and contrary") discussions with my husband regarding whether or not it's possible to go back in time and change history. Yes, you can go back in history, prevent a woman from being hit by a car and make Starfleet cease to exist; or no, you can't change history because whatever you did has already happened.

Someday I'll write the novel in my head. Someday.

Go ahead and imagine yourself as rich or poor as you like. But which one would you like to live in?
