To Those Who Enjoyed Carkeet's I BEEN THERE BEFORE. I also recommend NEVER THE TWAIN by Kirk Mitchell, 1987, Ace Books, NY; From the cover: Never the Twain In which a young time traveler sets out to wreck Mark Twain's career . . . "It was all very simple . . . well sort of. All Howard Hart had to do was go back in time and make sure that Mark Twain's literary career fizzled out. Why? Because Howard is the last living descendant of the obscure novelist Bret Harte and he's convinced that with just a little help, Harte and not Twain will become wealthy and respected. And that would leave Howard heir to literary immortality. But along tthe way Howard encounters some problems. The Civil War, the Gold Rush, and a ravishing young lady of pleasure - to name a few. And suddenly time traveling isn't what it used to be . . . and neither is history." This might be a bit harder to find in your library. Try the used paperback book stores in the science fiction section. KJB
