Author Description

Known by many names, including but not limited to time-jumps, -ruptures, -ribbons, -storms, -slips, -tears; I’ve assigned these extraordinary experiences the acronym TWIDDERS (a jumble of “time/warp/displacement” with a pinch of “slip” thrown in). So what the heck are time slips (TWIDDERS)? You’re in a 1990’s Anchorage hotel lobby, and when you enter the restroom, it’s 1920’s retro. Only when you return to show your friend, it’s 1990’s sleek. Hunh? That’s but one real-life example of a brief trip-to-the-past that happened to a Washington state couple on vacation in the last frontier. (The full account is in my first book on spacetime slips, entitled TWIDDERS.) Over the years I’ve come across myriad accounts by very sane folk of their TWIDDER experiences. The nature of these spacetime slips can vary; most accounts chronicle trips to the past. However, one may travel to the future, experience time inexplicably speeding up or slowing down, lost locations, leap frogging time, lost time, found time, different locales, instant replay, and, rarest of all, alternate realities.
