The story begins...
Welcome
to the official website of Timekeepers, the first book in the Tempus Viator series.
Here you can find more information about the time travel story and the characters in
it.
Timekeepers was written for my niece and nephew, the real Emily and Thomas, to give them an interest in history. Most people think that history is boring but the past is full of incredible characters and exciting adventures if you know where to look. Many of the things in Timekeepers are made up, but many of them are real; it is up to you to find out which.

ENTER THE TIMEKEEPERS COMPETITION
There are a number of deliberate errors (and probably many accidental ones) in Timekeepers that I put in to see if people were paying attention. I'm not going to say exactly how many just in case there are more than I thought - I may want to pretend that some were deliberate even if they weren't!
These errors are not little things like spelling mistakes (there will be lots of those), but big things to do with the Timekeepers characters or story. For example, there might be a time travel 'rule' that contradicts itself, or I might do something totally stupid like have the twins celebrate their birthday on different days - that is actually a really good one, I wish I had thought of it when I wrote the book...
Anyway, what I am going to do is give a prize to someone who spots one of the errors. What you need to do is email me (use the contact form on the site) with your guess and then when there are 100 correct guesses for each mistake I will choose a winner at random. I will reply to your email straightaway so that you know whether your guess is correct or not and you can guess at as many mistakes as you can find.
THE PRIZE is that the winners will be mentioned in the second book in the series. The results of the competition will be announced on an introductory page with a list of the intentional errors and the winning readers that spotted them.
