Officially RECOMMENDED BY KIRKUS REVIEWS
“Our Verdict: GET IT!”
“A nostalgic and occasionally critical ode to the 1969 music scene and an SF novel about a futuristic society altering the flow of the past, and it manages to weave the two elements together in an entertaining way.
The specific focus on the Woodstock music festival gives this novel a unique spin that genre aficionados are likely to enjoy.
An unusual time-hopping tale which will appeal to SF and music fans alike.”
Kirkus Reviews
“Warm, funny and nostalgic, Anywhen is a magical love story, a sobering glance at the future of A.I., and proof that even as the world changes, human desires never will."
- Karen Emilson, Author of Also Known as Jaime Dorn
"This intelligent and entertaining tale combines artificial intelligence, time travel, friendship, love...Engaging, fascinating, and a fun read, this book is perfect for those who enjoy science fiction but also for those who want an understanding of the history of the 1960s, the Vietnam War, President Nixon, the draft system, and Woodstock."
RECOMMENDED by the US Review of Books
Baezy is born in 2069, the centennial of the legendary Woodstock Music and Art Fair. Everything peace, love, and flower power is celebrated that year in a wave of nostalgia that takes over fashion, music, and the public’s imagination. She grows up listening to and loving the artists of that time, dreaming of witnessing everyone from Joan Baez to Santana in person. When presented with the opportunity to time-travel, Baezy immediately chooses Woodstock as her destination. She plans to enjoy a glorious weekend of vibrant sights and sounds; her bell bottoms and a peasant blouse are packed for the adventure and she’s excited to surprise her great-great-great-grandmother, Kelly Adams.
While Baezy’s certainly not a typical Woodstock attendee, Kelly isn��t either. She is at the very beginning of a stellar career researching artificial intelligence in the 1960s, and will later develop much of what will lead to the utopian society Baezy lives in. Kelly’s future family is immensely proud of her historic accomplishments.
The contrast between Baezy's 2101 and 1969 is stunning from her first moment. Woodstock exceeds her wildest expectations, but holds far more than an introduction to her distant grandmother. Baezy quickly finds herself in life-altering situations she could never have anticipated.
Part sci-fi, part historical fiction, and all heart, Anywhen is an intriguing concoction sure to delight readers. Imagine it as Cloud Cuckoo Land meets Back to the Future meets The Woodstock Music and Art Fair of 1969. This is a must-read for fans of The Invisible Life of Addie Larue, The Time Traveler's Wife, and The Midnight Library.
