Timelight is a work of fiction, drawn from my own  imagination. But writing a time travel novel opens the door to learning about events in history, along with the lives of individuals who lived in the past. While working on this book, I had a chance to read and reflect upon a number of important historical  events, including  the unjust incarceration of Japanese Americans during World War II. I am indebted to the many authors who have written on this subject, and especially to the work of Densho, the organization founded  in Seattle to document the oral histories and testimonies of those who were  incarcerated. Densho’s extensive archives helped me understand this dark period  of the past and how such understanding can light a path to a better future. Their  website is an excellent resource for further reading and learning: densho.org
