New Series Explores: Would You Change Events From The Past If You Could Time Travel? Novelist JB Yanni takes us on a journey with a pair of captivating books (Time Benders series) that challenge us to confront the moral and practical implications of time travel. These heartwarming books pack a punch of history, faith, and science that explore the “what-ifs” of life’s most significant moments. Yanni is available to discuss: Why the concept of time travel has fascinated scientists and writers for centuries. The moral consequences of tinkering with history though time travel. Science fiction literary trends. The hard lessons in life that we need to live with – and why we can’t just go back in time to fix or prevent bad things. How orphans deal with the loss of their parents. The faith debate over changing one’s fate: should we if we can? “The three underlying messages of the Time Benders series are the closeness of family and how that makes the individuals stronger; the importance of faith in our lives; and that young people are empowered to accomplish great things,” says Yanni. “The books convey this through the characters, the events of their lives, and lessons learned from their time travel. The books have appeal for girls and boys and adults by being set in the 1970’s, having elements of history, math, and science, and are both reliable and believable.” Whereas the story begins in 1974, the time travel takes us on trips to Dallas in the 1960’s and visits Las Vegas in the 1950’s. Both books help give us a perspective not only on those times but on all of time. Kirkus Reviews on Time Benders: The Machine: “A breezy, straightforward approach to time travel featuring unforgettable characters.” Kirkus Reviews on Time Benders: And The Two Promises, Book II: “Appealing siblings fortify a time-bending tale that offers plenty of drama.” Visit JB Yanni on social media: FB: www.facebook.com/jb_yanni; twitter: www.twitter.com/jb_yanni; blog site: www.covertocover.net
