Based on the true adventures of Nellie Bly, the real reporter who is credited with inventing investigative journalism when she had herself locked into a madhouse in 1887. This story weds these real events with a time travel element.

September, 1887 --Try me, Mr. Pulitzer. You wont regret it. That brash promise haunts Nellie Bly as she languishes in Blackwell Asylum, her most vital tool--her reporters notebook--locked away out of reach. Without it, her undercover investigation into cruelty at the institution will fail.

June, 2018 --White hat hacker Oliver Cosgriff is between contracts when a strange Craigslist ad snags his attention. Granted, hes not very good a picking up on when someones joking, but Time Traveler Wanted cant be for real. Can it? Theres only one way to find out.
Before he knows it, Oliver has a deceptively simple assignment with an outsized paycheck: step through a mirror, navigate Blackwells nightmarish halls to put Nellies notebook in her hands, and return. But when he steps back into his own time, something is off. Someone rode his coattails back through the portal. Nellie. Now, with a foot in two very different timelines, shes upending Olivers world--in ways both terrifying and wondrous. -----
Warning: Contains a hero both charmed and cursed by Aspergers, and an intrepid heroine ahead of her time--literally. Also, a sentient weed-eater, a truly terrifying insane asylum, and hitches in the timeline that could make you rethink that third Frappuccino of the day.
