Electric Arc To the Past is a time travel novel, set primarily in the industrial North of England in the 1970s. In 2016, Vinnie Johnson is a printer from the Northern steel town of Rotherham. His life is changed forever when he sets out on a journey across time, leaving the world of the internet and social media far behind. Vinnie goes back to a place where steel is king and the fashions are fun. A world of big cars and reel-to-reel tape recorders, and beer at 20 pence a pint. In this Land of Ago, Vinnie falls in love with Lizzie, a beautiful laboratory technician. Life is good, but how long can it last? Vinnie is changing things just by being in the past. When time gradually becomes more resistant to that change, Vinnie tries desperately to repair the damage he has done, setting out on an insane but possible mission to stop the evil that he has created.
