A Note from Kelley Armstrong, author of A Rip Through Time
By Kelley Armstrong

Writers are often asked if there’s a genre that they want to write but haven’t. For me, it’s historical fiction. There is nothing like a historical novel to whisk me away to another place, another time, another world. So why haven’t I written one? Because I’m not a historian. ☺ Every time I started a historical novel, I dove into the research with abandon…and then abandoned the concept as I realized the impossibility of “getting it right.”
I came to realize that what mattered was capturing the period as best I could while telling a satisfying story. Still, I shied away until I was watching the TV version of The Alienist and thinking “what if one of the women helping the early criminalists was actually a modern-day detective?”
I love time travel and time-slip stories, so I jumped on this idea. I would set it in Victorian Scotland, to pay homage to my roots. The detective would be Canadian, like me. While I considered alienism, the more I read, the more I was enraptured by early forensics. Did you know—? Okay, I’ll stop there, or this will turn into an overly enthusiastic amateur lecture. But can I just tell you how much fun I had with this research? With this book?
I didn’t choose the title A Rip Through Time, but when it was suggested, I jumped on it. One, there’s a Ripper connection (yes, the book is 20 years pre-Jack, but *spoiler redacted*) Two, Mallory doesn’t step through time; she rips through it. Third, in Canadian slang, to “go for a rip” means to go out for a good time with friends, and that fits this book perfectly for me. I hope you have a good time with it, and I hope you meet some new fictional friends along the way.

I’m so grateful to this person! I don’t even want to think about what grade I would get if I didn’t decide to get expert help.
I admit that some may think asking someone to help with report writing is a waste of time. I would like to have strong analytical and writing skills, but I can’t. Maybe I’ll develop them in the future, but I don’t have much hope for it. Well, recently I was assigned to write a report on a certain situation. By the way, if you think that essay and report are similar, you’re deeply mistaken. I can craft a good essay myself but writing a report is something I can’t master.
