What’s the story behind the story? What inspired you to write Borrowed Time?
When I was a kid, my dad took me to see the 1960 version of The Time Machine, and I remember thinking that the prop machine in the film was just about the coolest thing in the world. Recently that film was shown on TGM. I watched it again and wondered whatever happened to that machine? And I immediately thought of a story in which the machine survived to present day, and is converted into a real time machine by a professor of advanced physics.
