It all started in 1998 when Patty McGuigan started writing a novel about time travel set in Silicon Valley. At the time an English teacher, she wanted to write about how historical figures collided with modern tech companies, using their unique ways of looking at things to solve tech problems. At the time, she wrote eleven stories — about 100 pages.

Then, Patty’s career in commercial real estate took off. She filed her novel away and got back to her ‘real world’. Fast forward to 2020 Patty’s husband had died, the pandemic had changed our world, and Patty’s mind wandered to the book she had started twenty years ago. The rest is history.
