Produktinformationen zu „The Herbert Trilogy: The H.G.W. Express: A Fantasy in Time (PDF)“
When their middle-aged father, “Papa,” a retired college professor, inherits an antique grandfather clock from an uncle who has been missing for over thirty years, Butzy and Jude become intrigued by an intricate cryptogram on the back of the magnificent, Nineteenth Century, British heirloom. Discovering that the massive longcase clock is, in fact, a time machine, the children travel to their father’s past in order to erase a traumatic childhood experience, inadvertently altering that past in a destructive way.
As Jude recovers from the physical aftereffects of a reluctant solo trip into the past to rescue a friend, Butzy learns not only that “Herbert” (from “G. Herbert Timepieces, Ltd.”), the grandfather clock, can send travelers forward in time, but also that Papa’s long missing Uncle Frank has been marooned in the future because of his careless misuse of the antique timepiece in 1969. Faced with a dilemma, Butzy must decide whether or not to rescue her great-uncle, her decision made all the more difficult by the fact that her sister’s very life hangs in the balance.

Autoren-Porträt von I.M. Tillerman
In 1944, I was born in South Dakota in my great-grandmother’s house. Most of my childhood was spent living on farms near Sioux Falls.In the early 1970’s, after graduating from Augustana and Purdue, I was hired as a full-time English Instructor at a college in a suburb of Chicago and for twenty-nine years taught Composition and Literature there as a Professor in the English Department. I took early retirement and since then have been a serious author, having written six novels: The Phoenix Sparrow: A Fable, a tale of reincarnation; The Herbert Trilogy, a group of young adult fantasy/soft science fiction books, centering on an antique grandfather clock that is also a time machine; Teufel-Hunden: “Devil-Dogs,” an autobiographical novel about Marine Corps Boot Camp in 1962; and a novella, Not Look Back: A Memoir, a fictional retrospective about life on a South Dakota farm in the 1950’s.
In the early ‘60’s, while I was in the Marines, I married my high school sweetheart, and we had a daughter, who now has two children, my nifty grandkids. After my first wife died tragically, I later remarried. My wife and I have two teenage daughters.
The most profound literary influences on me as a writer are the very authors whom I taught to college students for three decades: Shakespeare, Wordsworth, Emerson, Thoreau, Hawthorne, Melville, Twain, Fitzgerald, and Tennessee Williams. The two strongest literary influences on me, however, are the sublime poet, Emily Dickinson, and Hemingway, who wrote: “A writer should be of his great probity as a priest of God. He is either honest or not…, and after one piece of dishonest writing, he is never the same again” (Amen, Papa).
