Question by badminton007: How much time do you get with a timeshare vacation condo?
A neighbor owns a vacation timeshare condo in TX. They have spent about 5 months off and on at this place this year. The rules say they get one week per year. When I asked about that she says they have bonus time but won’t go into details. Is it really possible to get that much time? How does that work? Thanks!

It depends on how much you spend, and how many other people you share it with, and what their schedules are. If it’s open, they can use it.

You get as many weeks as you buy. You buy a timeshare by the week. You can also rent other peoples weeks if they are available.
I’ve heard that you get a few extra weeks but never heard of almost a year and a half that just don’t happends to regular tendants. Maybe they have some special arrengement that don’t want to tell.

[Full disclosure: I have a story in this anthology. I will not be discussing my story in this review. Hopefully my other reviews will assure you that I'm brutally honest.]
Timeshares starts with a simple premise: Where – no, when – would you go if you could go on vacation anywhen in time?
Like most people, I’ve been exposed to lots of time travel stories. The 19 stories all imagine the time-vacation agency in slightly different ways, which keeps each story in this anthology fresh. Some stories are action-packed, some are mysteries, and some center on character and emotion.
All of these stories are solid, and some of them truly excel. Kelly Swails’ “A Portrait of Time” is poignant, and Chris Pierson’s “But I’m Not the Only One” is both amusing and touching simultaneously. Donald Bingle’s “A Passion for Time Travel” approaches human nature with his signature dark humor, while both Matthew Mayo’s “Been a Long Time” and Allister Timm’s “No Man’s Land” are haunting. Michael Stackpole’s “By Our Actions” is amazing, and Linda Baker’s “Spoilers” is a fitting close to the collection.
And that’s not even half the stories in this anthology. I thoroughly enjoyed reading the other stories in this anthology, and I’m humbled to have my own story among them.

“Timeshares” is a witty and clever series of stories written by some forward or should it be backward looking people. Each story is engaging and allows you to live in their reality. Would make a great SF movie or TV series.
Review by S. Nelson for Timeshares

The idea of time travel is possibly one of the first fantasies of all time. This anthology goes a step further and has the writers basing their stories on one company providing time travel to the public. But that is where the consistency ends. Each story has you nodding your head and thinking, “Yes, that’s the way it would be” until you read the next. Imaginative, engaging and well-written, an excellent read for all.
Review by H. Grove for Timeshares

Time travel has been invented, and somehow it’s in the hands of someone who wants to turn it into a means of history tourism. Of course, there are problems with that. Such as, nearly everyone who goes back in time is going to have an ulterior motive. How could they really expect people not to interfere? In theory it’s impossible to alter the past, and any changes that are introduced fix themselves back to the way things were. But naturally, theory and practice don’t always line up perfectly…
Stories touch on the Mona Lisa, the Titanic, da Vinci, missing tribes of Native Americans, the Garden of Eden, saving dead relatives, fixing one’s own past life, and of course, dropping in on the life of Jesus himself. Meanwhile, the different stories dance in and out of each other’s spheres of influence, largely adding to each other by touching on similar subjects or spending time with one or two of the same people.
That gets undermined a bit by some of the differences. In some stories Timeshares is a slick, corporate affair. In others it seems to be represented by dingy little offices. In some there are security officers or police who try to keep people from messing with the past; in others folks are allowed to try what they want. In some stories the past really is inflexible, while in others, not so much. To counter this, however, I admit that one of the later stories, Michael Stackpole’s By Our Actions, seems to present a sort of answer to these inconsistencies that very nearly ties things together.
Naturally, this being an anthology, and on a topic that begs such a wide variety of approaches, you’re invariably going to find one or two stories that don’t thrill you quite as much as others. The overall quality is quite high, however.

I’m halfway through this book and I am enjoying it a lot. I agree it would make a great tv series something on the order of fantasy island maybe. Some of the stories are ok, others grab you and leave you all misty eyed at the end which is hard to do in a short story format. Well worth the money. I particularly like Kelly Swail’s short story.
