My new novel, "Time Of Departure," an aviation-related time-travel story, was released on June 1, 2024, and tells the story of the crew and passengers of a Trans World Airlines L-1011 that mysteriously lands in 1947 St. Louis, where they must blend into society while trying to find a way home before business mogul and TWA owner Howard Hughes gets his hands on the jet for its futuristic technology, leaving them stranded in the past forever. It is available through amazon.com and through my own website, www.edwardbcarr.com.
