Facing the bankruptcy of the family business, J. Barrett Callan accepts his great-great grandfather's offer to exchange places in time in hopes he can change his future by fixing the past. But if anything, his troubles compound when he ends up in the mining town of Margin, Colorado as an inept sheriff who can't shoot, ride or spit worth a damn. There he encounters a "spinster" who serves as the local schoolmarm because the townspeople would never accept her as the doctor she's trained to be. Together, they'll work to keep Margin safe from rampaging miners, crooked investors and a visitor from the future far beyond the 21st century.
I have read countless tales of time travel over the years, I have even written one. A Margin in Time outshined all the rest. Vivid characters, a perfect balance between intriguing dialogue and narrative, and action all throughout! I was not sure how this one would end, and I can usually figure these things out! I was well satisfied to find a star among the rest. This book is a sure bet for any fan of the genre.Everlasting Journey

I adored this book! I thought there was supposed to be a sequel! I want it, I want it, I want it!!! If I can't have a sequel, can I at least see it as a movie? It would be fantastic!!!
