From the Arizona Daily Star March 10, 2013

“Professor Payne’s Intrepid Time Travelers”
By M.M. Kline (A Leap Behind Press, $14.99)

Who hasn’t wished he or she could take a quick trip to some time in the past? Spend a day or two with Lewis and Clark? Hang around with Thomas Jefferson? Kline’s characters seem to prefer ancient Egypt. The general period roughly is the years between Queen Hatshepsut and Tutankhamun (King Tut) – 1500 and 1300 B.C. The logistics of making this fantasy happen take up a certain amount of space. Kline’s characters negotiate time travel using antique family pieces, such as smoking an old pipe. It is fun, and as frequently noted, difficult “to experience the past without changing the future.”
