Scharlette was expecting another boring day as an airport security guard, maybe followed by a bottle of bargain bin red and a bit of Star Trek on the couch. What she didn’t expect was to meet a handsome time traveller from a distant space station, for purple wormholes to open up at the airport, or to become swept up in an intricate plot aiming to alter the future of all humanity.
Also on the list of things Scharlette didn’t expect:
- To acquire the ability to send messages to her past self
- Get shot at by rogue time agents with ray guns
- Go into stasis deep under the sea for 10 000 years
- Witness Earth’s destruction at the hands (and feelers) of a horrendous alien enemy
- Visit the Heat Death of the Universe
- Suffer the effects of a Nightmare Sex Fern
- Operate an enormous gun turret in the midst of a chaotic spaceship battle
- Various other things
‘So refreshingly different from anything I've read in a while. I liked Scharlette's relatable character. Funny, feel good read. Definitely reminiscent of Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. The time travel was explained really well, and was easy to follow. Thoroughly enjoyed.’ ★★★★★

Excerpt
Scharlette rubbed her temples as she woke, hastily compiling information. She was in a spaceship, high above the Earth, speaking with Gordon, an advanced AI from the future. Or perhaps she was in an insane asylum talking to a mouse? It was difficult to be sure. One thing was certain – she was definitely going to be late for work.
‘Gordon,’ she said, and then so many questions jostled for attention she had trouble focusing on one in particular.
‘Yes, Miss Scharlette?’
‘What’s the time?’
‘I’m afraid that is quite difficult to answer, as perspectives tend to differ wildly. However, internal ship time is currently 64:38:91.’
‘Right.’
‘PM.’
From the Author
Hi there, I’m Sam, an author and stand-up comedian from Sydney, Australia. My new book, 'Scharlette Doesn't Matter and Goes Time Travelling' is a funny, contemporary sci fi with heart, which I've been working on for quite a while. It was a tricky project because I wanted to write a time travel book without any plot holes, as I dislike time travel stories that make their audience say things like 'wait, what about', 'why didn't they just' and 'how did THAT happen?' Amazingly, I succeeded. Or did I?
