More About the Author

Jerry Keane is an attorney in Sarasota, Florida. Before becoming an attorney, he worked as an aerospace engineer for Boeing and Pratt & Whitney on Minuteman III ICBMs and high-powered lasers. His earlier books, on Florida Law, have been continuously in print for more than 20 years and are both currently in their 5th Editions. He has chosen to write the Will Barrett Time Travel Series because of the many interesting paradoxes, contradictions, and psychological aspects that time travel presents. Every time-travel book reveals unexpected and thought-provoking situations.
He has already completed a sequel to SomeWhere SomeTime dealing with the Kennedy Assassination. (He's sure, by the way, that Stephen King overheard his plan and stole the idea.) Currently in the works is a third in the series that will carry the time travelers back to the crucifixion of Jesus Christ.
