The JUMP GATE SERIES presents original ideas and solutions to new problems that deal with questions of technology and science interwoven into a story of moral decisions and family challenges. It is no surprise that when Elliot "Scum" Scrumson finds he owns a time machine built into a recliner, he decides to become rich and powerful. Knowing Scum, this may not go well. The TIME CHAIR offers its owners the ability to commit crimes, to solve crimes, and to stay on schedule. TIME CHAIR is a character-driven, hard sci-fi adventure. Between its covers some people die, some people fall in love. TIME CHAIR has been reviewed as “…a unique collection of stories from characters that will leave your reader swept up in the world of family (found and blood), love, loss, identity, responsibility, and hope.”(AutoCrit) TIME CHAIR is the first chapter in the annals of future history that begins with a quirky time machine and ends, 4 books later, with a space-battleship-sized jump gate.

Leonard Merrick (21 February 1864[1] – 7 August 1939) was an English novelist.[2] Although largely forgotten today, he was widely admired by his peers, J. M. Barrie called Merrick the "novelist's novelist."He was born as Leonard Miller in Belsize Park, London of Jewish parentage.[3] After schooling at Brighton College, he studied to be a solicitor in Brighton and studied law at Heidelberg, but he was forced to travel to South Africa at the age of eighteen after his father suffered a serious financial loss.[3] There he worked as an overseer in the Kimberley diamond mine[3] and in a solicitors office.[4] After surviving a near-fatal case of "camp fever,"[5][6] he returned to London in the late 1880s and worked as an actor and actor-manager[4] under the stage name of Leonard Merrick.[5] He legally changed his name to Leonard Merrick in 1892.[3] He later worked his experiences in South Africa and in the theatre into numerous works of fiction.[7][8] Merrick's novels include Mr Bazalgette's Agent (1888), a detective story; Violet Moses (1891), about a Jewish financier and his troubled wife; The Worldlings (1900), a psychological investigation of a crime; Conrad in Quest of His Youth (1903), the tale of a disillusioned man who, at thirty- seven, sets out to pick up the romantic threads of his younger life, it is "judged his most successful work"[3] according to John Sutherland. George Orwell thought that this is because it is one of the few of his books which is not set against a background of poverty. [more]
