Timely Persuasion

Before Jack Malik claimed the Beatles catalog as his own in the film YESTERDAY, the novel TIMELY PERSUASION introduced the world to a folk-rock star named Local Boy.

A washed-up music critic goes back in time. What does he do?

He tries to save Kurt Cobain. He tries to fix his own love life. He tries to prevent his sister's death. And he tries to turn his father into the greatest songwriter of all time — even if he didn't exactly write the songs…

What could go wrong?

An innovative blend of music and time travel, TIMELY PERSUASION defies genre conventions while paying tribute to classic time travel tales and classic rock and roll songs.
