Time Without By Veronica R. Tabares

12/15/2018

Multi-volume, multi-genre, award-winning author, Veronica Tabares, introduces us to her sci-fi masterpiece, Time Without:
Vanessa is a strong, independent woman. Or she was, until she awoke in a world strangely changed. And when her husband and father of her children is in trouble, Vanessa realizes it is up to her to figure out what went so wrong in the world.

Vanessa’s journey takes her to the Department of Temporal Adjustment, the department tasked with handling all time travel, where she and her spunky kids go on a hilarious adventure through time—all while traveling incognito.

I will be quite frank. I am partial to sci-fi stories, I am very partial to stories about time travel.
I loved this story so much! Such good writing, I am surprised this has not won an award! It was more fun than a barrel of monkeys!
The story is full of humor and I laughed out loud multiple times. There is a great deal of dialogue. How could there not be, with four girls who are drawn out so well in the story. The characterizations are pretty well done, the action was quite good also.
Do Vanessa and her daughters set the world right? You will have to read the book and find out for yourself. You won’t be disappointed.
I award Time Without a score of 4.8 stars.

You are very welcome. I really enjoyed your story.
Tell me a little about yourself.

I studied Archaeology at the University of Washington and have four daughters, so it's not hard to figure out where I got the idea for Time Without!

Of course, I can't say much about the future of time travel. You never know who's listening, and if it ever got out...

Excellent! I have four granddaughters, 10, 10, 5, and 3. So I can relate to many aspects of Vanessa's girls!
New questions.
Are you a full-time or part-time writer?
Why did you choose this genre, or do you feel the genre chose you?
Who designed the cover of your book?

I can happily report that I am a full-time writer!
Of course, as every writer knows, the journey to Full-time Writerdom is fraught with a whole slew dangers and traps. There’s the Sea of Sloth, where manuscripts take forever to be written. And the River of Rewrites, with its twists and turns that snake around in such a way that writers can easily lose their way. Then there’s the Forest of Friendlessness and the Lonely Lagoon, where writers feel so alone and isolated that the will to write is often sucked right out of them.

But the worst, in my opinion, is the Giant Drain in the center of Hobby Swamp. So many unwary writers have lost the passion to write in the Giant Drain. Bogged down by the muck of family, work, and bills they become trapped, and writing stays a hobby.

I almost got stuck there myself. But I’m fortunate. I have my own private superhero - other people think he’s just my husband, but I call him Map Man because he never gets lost - who swooped in at exactly the right moment and guided me out of the swamp.

As for the genre question, I’m pretty sure it chose me.

I am a huge Agatha Christie fan and assumed that I’d write mysteries. I adore mysteries. But writing science fiction comes naturally to me and mysteries don’t, so there it is.

Ah, the cover. I love cover of Time Without!

I’m the proud mother of four gifted daughters and if the opportunity arises to work with any of them, I take it.

My third daughter, Tara, has a degree in Drawing and Painting, is a very talented artist, and has designed several of my covers. In addition to Time Without, she created the covers for Department of Temporal Adjustment, Gray Zone, and even illustrated an entire picture book, Old Library Café.

I love my family!

Congratulations on being a fulltime writer. You are the envy of hundreds of thousands, if not millions!
I love that description of some of the hazards a writer faces! Such a literary description and so fitting.
Perhaps your muse will put on a Christie hat one of these days and you can write that story hidden deep within you.
The cover is so cute, of course it's relevance is lost on anyone who hasn't read the book. Being able to work with your daughter has to make your mother's heart swell to almost bursting! Is your daughter on twitter? I would love to add her to my list of people who do covers and illustrations.
New questions.
How do you think your book compares to a book published by a major publisher?
There are many unethical practices in publishing, which one is the most unbearable in your mind?
Is there a book that makes you cry no matter how many times you read it?

Due to a family emergency, Veronica is unable to participate any further at this time.
