AUDIOBOOK MIZ, Time Tripping with Amazing Females

Image
Prologue and Thirty-three Chapters Written, Produced and Read by Olde Scooter Give it a shot  HERE .  ...All together in sequence, a "playlist" concoction on YouTube. Click  HERE   for the whole enchilada (at least the first 33 chapters of the enchilada - of 38 total) You can either "Play All" and the book will roll out in proper order, or if you want to listen to a particular chapter, just click it, and it will play through the remaining chapters. (Since the recording is made as a YouTube video, the audiobook part is just the audio track. The visual is a vid place holder.  Try to ignore it. I can't help it if I look like an Airedale licking my thumb, I'm a conflagration, dammit! SUPPORT OLD GUY SCI-FI If you know a sci-fi fan or somebody looking for a free audio book, please refer them here, or "share" if it's no trouble.  Thanks a bunch!

"Time Tripping with Amazing Females" means?

Why "Time Tripping?" Why "Amazing Females?" I thought "time tripping" would tell a browser (human) that the book is science fiction. It's not all that sci-fi-ish, certainly not when compared to the "hard" sci-fi in Olde Scooter's first, A Reluctant God .                                                                                                       Still, time travel is time travel, no? Then as I was contemplating a title, it occurred to me that most of the leading characters were females, other than the protagonist. I hadn't planned it that way. I decided to write a prehistoric adventure book and all these ladies just showed up. In some ways I think of MIZ as a sort of Connecticut Yankee in King Arther's Court (Mark Twain) without the yankee, the royal court or Twain's genius.  Oh, and there are some guys in there too, with pretty important roles. My fav is a young Neanderthal chap. scooter
