It has been said that the veil which separates the past from the present is not as immutable as one might think. Some have compared time to a spiral. But what if we could jump from spiral to spiral?A more terrifying thought: What if it accidentally happened? My science fiction/historical romance story Cherries in Winter was inspired by two events that actually occurred - one at the turn of the last century and one in the 1930s. These are only two amongst many documented cases.But what if it could have happened again?
