Kev is an average person living an uneventful life — just how he likes it — until the day he finds himself kidnapped by time traveling slavers and thrust into an unfamiliar world of airships, clockwork and steam. Rescued by Millicent Darlington and her mismatched airship crew, Kev finds himself taking part in adventures he could never have imagined. In spite of his growing feelings for the ship’s medic, Persephone Mockett, Kev knows he must return to his own time and his own life and his own family, only to discover it is not as straightforward as he has been told.

Inspired by a themed family photoshoot, the novel is centered on steampunk and time travel. McLean offers a story driven by the characters and their evolving relationships, as well as the adventures they have and decisions they make along the way.

“I think readers will enjoy the local content. This is steampunk with a definite kiwi twist. I also think readers will enjoy the way the story brings in the element of travel between dimensions as well as time travel. I think they will enjoy the characters who all have strong voices and their own contribution to the story,” the author states.

“Out of Time” will appeal to steampunk enthusiasts and those who enjoy the themes of time travel and alternate reality.
