ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date November 15, 2024
Time takes everything – but what if it could also give back?
It’s December 2019 in a small Welsh town, and 60-year-old estate agent Eric Meek discovers a property which boasts a truly unique garage conversion. Instead of the more customary home office or gym, it contains a hole in space-time that has been developed into a traversable portal.
The portal allows movement between 2019 and the day it was first powered up, 3rd July 1976, which just happened to be the best – and worst – day of 16-year-old Eric’s life.
Presented with a chance to right the wrongs of the past, Eric revisits the moment he believes defined his future. His adventures in time also find him caught up in a decades-old missing persons case while he attempts to improve the lives of those close to him, including his long-dead father.
The Time-Travelling Estate Agent is the story of a first love, a second chance, and a third age redemption.
Will Eric change history? Or will history change Eric?

REVIEW:THE TIME-TRAVELLING ESTATE AGENT by Dale Bradford is an adult, historical, sci-fi, time travel stand alone focusing on sixty year old real-estate agent Eric Meek.
NOTE: As the author is British, and the story is set in Britain, there are many colloquial British mannerisms, and euphemisms used throughout the story.
Told from omniscient third person perspective (Dale Bradford) following two timelines (2019 and 1976) THE TIME-TRAVELLING ESTATE AGENT focuses on struggling real-estate agent Eric Meek. With the creditors chomping at the bit, estate agent Eric Meek needs to make a sale. When a local resident offers their house up for sale, the eccentric and reluctant husband and physicist refuses Eric’s offer, but not until Eric discovers the truth hidden behind the resident’s walls. The physicist has opened a portal to July 3rd, 1976, an important date for the people of the time but a date that is about to repeat itself with every visit from our story line hero. As Eric embarks on a journey to 1976, to locate the girl he once loved, Eric will discover the secrets and lies long buried beneath in the past.
THE TIME-TRAVELLING ESTATE AGENT is a story of probabilities and impossibilities; of a multi-verse wherein our hero bears witness to the past as it continues to repeat itself with ever visit. A story of secrets and lies, betrayal and vengeance, THE TIME-TRAVELLING ESTATE AGENT is an intriguing and captivating story of Improbabilia but entertaining, none-the-less.
