I read the entire Oxford Time Travel series earlier this year. That is one of the best series I've ever read. From death and despair, to romantic comedy, Willis is top notch! I'd preorder the next book in the series if I ever hear about one. I also read Bellwether, which was OK.

I loved Bellwether! It was such a remarkably fresh and optimistic notion.

It was an idea of never heard about, but think of it on a near daily basis now.

Bellwether was adapted by CBC radio shortly after it came out.

I don't think Imdb tracks radio plays.

Oh, radio. It was the same name, though? I love radio since i have lived for decades on and off without a TV.

It was a long time ago but I'm pretty sure it was the same name, I don't remember the radio program or if it's still available on CBC.

Agreed! Those four books are amazing. I suggest Passage as well as her collection of short stories.

Awesome! I will definitely check it out. Would you please give me your brief, teaser description of Passage?

Passage is about what happens when you die. Main characters are studying near death experiences and the chemistry of the brain during them.

It sounds stimulating. I'm sure with Willis's tenacious research habits, this will prove to be educational as well. Thank you!

You're welcome! I hope you enjoy it as much as I did!

I started this and it’s good but your spoiler kinda … spoils? Can you please remove the last sentence from your post for future readers? Thanks!

My favorite series as well. She is currently writing another addition to the series.
