I'm doing a book display in March on time travel to coincide with the
release of the new Time Machine movie. So far most of the books I've found
are either romance or science fiction. I would love some suggestions for
titles from regular fiction. I already know about the Outlander series,
Jack Finney, and the The Mirror by Marlys Milhiser. I'll compile the list.
Thanks for your help!

You might want to consider Lady of Hay, by Marilyn Erskine. In this case,
the time travel was via hypnotic regression. I loved that book!

Not sure you'll find time travel in anything BUT science fiction; The
Doomsday Book by Connie Willis is one of the best in this category.

who writes time travel romance. I'll have quite a few to add later on today.

If you don't mind ya or juv. Fiction- there's Nancy Bond's "Another
Shore", William Sleater "Strange Attractors" "Prisoner of Time" by
Caroline Cooney, "Pictish Child" by Jane Yolen; and "Nick of Time" by
Anne Lindbergh.
Also the "dragon and the George" series of Gordon Dickson. And
"Wanderer" by Donald McQuinn.
The most interesting time travel I've read lately is one I can't
remember the title of, if anyone can I'd appreciate you letting me know.
The story is about a young lady who is traveling through time backwards.
She is reliving her life one year at a time. She starts out in her 30s
or 40's and unages? A year at a time. She doesn't remember what
happened to her later in her life. The family finally realizes unless
the time unaging stops she will unage to before she was born. Any
takers? (don't remember anything about the title or author sorry). She
is physically as well as mentally unaging(?)

Actually, I believe it just noted unhappiness that almost everything found
so far was romance or science fiction. I was so boggled at the idea of
trying to find time travel fiction that was *not*, by definition, sf (or
fantasy) that I didn't even try to wrap my mind around the request.
(Besides, there are hundreds if not thousands of sf/f books involving time
travel.)
I suppose the distinction intended was in area of publishers' packaging.

Hi!
A couple of my favorites are:
Barbara Erskine's "Lady of Hay"
Connie Willis' "Doomsday Book" and "To Say Nothing of the Dog"

Hi Fiction-Lers,
I'm doing a book display in March on time travel to coincide with the
release of the new Time Machine movie. So far most of the books I've found
are either romance or science fiction. I would love some suggestions for
titles from regular fiction. I already know about the Outlander series,
Jack Finney, and the The Mirror by Marlys Milhiser. I'll compile the list.
Thanks for your help!

In Harry Turtledove's Guns of the South, men from
present-day South Africa travel back in time to help
the South win the Civil War. They provide AK-47s, as
well as knowledge of what the Union troops are doing.
Turns out, though, that the Afrikaners are too extreme
even for the Confederates, and, well, things change.
The "Mendoza" series by Kage Baker involves time
travel of a sort. The first book is In the Garden of
Iden. The premise of the series is there is a
mysterious "Company" that makes certain people
immortal, in exchange for which they go through
history saving things that would otherwise be lost
(the main character is a botanist & collects samples
of plants that are about to become extinct). You find
out through the series, though, that there is
something weird going on with the Company - there is a
"silence" starting in the year 2355.......

This describes the situation of one character in Dan Simmon's
HYPERION and THE FALL OF HYPERION books, but it's only one plot
strand among many and gets little "on stage" time, so I doubt
that's the one you're recalling. Some other booklength "time
runs backward and people get younger" titles include Philip
K. Dick's COUNTERCLOCK WORLD; Daniel Quinn's current THE MAN
WHO GREW YOUNG; and Martin Amis' TIME'S ARROW, but none match
the plot you describe. If you or someone else does remember
the name of this book, I'd be happy to hear about it as I have
a mild interest in the subject (piqued mostly by writing a
couple of letters chiding reviewers who seemed to think Quinn's
represented some sort of new idea).

Argghh. This should be Dan Simmons' (the s is part of his name,
and the apostophe should follow it). I hate it when I see others
do this sort of thing, and am abashed that my fingers outran my
eye here.

"It isn't natural for you to be younger than your great-grandchildren.
We messed around with nature, and we shouldn't have. Melly and Anny Beth
both lived normal lives throughout the 20th century. But in 2000, when
they are old and ready to die, they are selected to participate in
Project Turnabout and are given an injection to make them grow
younger..."
