Welcome to "Walking Across Time", our online novel at JimMcGillis.com!
To get started with our story, click the Excerpts Icon above.
By definition, a printed novel follows a linear format. One starts reading at the beginning of the first chapter, turns many pages, finally reaching the end of the story. By alternately referencing past, present or future events, the author may begin the story in media res, or "in the middle". In a printed novel, the reader must follow the linear consciousness of the author.
We have designed this book, titled "Walking Across Time"*, so that the reader may join the action in any location, any era and with any character. On the Excerpts Page, our five most recent public chapters will appear.
In addition, our Search Page allows a key word search of every word in every title and subtitle, as well as the text of every chapter. Your search results will display all entries which contain your key word or phrase. Since each chapter derives from a unique database entry, the reader may follow or create story threads in several ways, including:
- Visit other chapters set in the same location, but at an earlier or later time. (ex., search "Moab, Utah")
- Follow a character in linear time, ascending or descending along his or her track. (ex., search "Moabbey")
- Access hidden chapters, available only through embedded image-links. (You will know them when you find them.)
- Search on single or multiple key words. (ex., "energy bridge")
In order to accommodate readers of all ages, our "general audiences" version of the book is what you will find here. Readers who are eighteen years old or older, may go to the Members Page and create a secure login and password. Once the reader certifies that he or she is of appropriate age, our Members area allows access to chapters and storylines which may include mature content.
Over time, we shall populate our created universe with characters, both physical and non-physical, earthbound and extraterrestrial. Since no other locale exhibits such strong new energy potential, much of our story takes place in the Four Corner States of Arizona, Colorado, New Mexico and Utah. There, we may visit the Pre-Puebloan Indian cultures, 1,000 years or more before our current era. Alternatively, we may find ourselves in the old-energy of our current fossil-fueled culture. If we live long enough and keep writing, we may live in a sustainable culture in our future. In our holographic story, we shall explore consciousness across time and follow tracks upon the land. Any of these tracks could link to a new energy bridge, extending to a New Earth.
