“Science and magic combine to create a unique anthology of time travel stories. Common threads run through each piece – mysterious trails of clues and symbolism – which weave together beautifully in the final tale.” –excerpt from an online review

R. James Doyle (aka Richard J. Doyle) held technical and managerial roles at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) over a career arc spanning forty years, working primarily at the interface of space exploration and computer science, with a focus on autonomous space systems. He was a member of a JPL team that consulted on the Babylon 5 sci-fi TV Series in the 1990s. Doyle had the pleasure of visiting Sir Arthur C. Clarke in Sri Lanka, in the year 2001. He recently published the Young Adult space adventure novel RAISING THE ROOF, part of Hugo and Nebula award-winning author David Brin’s Out of Time Series.

After making his mark as an award-winning journalist and science writer in Uruguay, Rogelio Fojo entered the world of filmmaking, working on productions in Los Angeles and earning a Kodak grant to direct his debut film, Chimera, which won Best Film at the Pasadena Film Festival. In 2018, he directed The Stooge, written by Christopher Priest (The Prestige) and featuring Robert Picardo (Star Trek). Now, he's blending his love for speculative fiction and cinema in a genre-bending sci-fi anthology about the effect of magic illusions in time travel, in collaboration with Doyle.
