Horror author Philip Fracassi talks about his first foray into science fiction with the thriller The Third Rule of Time Travel.

Philip talks about how his interest in various advanced scientific concepts led to him implementing the science behind the time travel method used in this book, and the appeal of balancing the science fiction elements with the thriller elements in the story. Philip also talks about the characters and their development in connection to the time travel project and how the protagonist Beth has many pressures from all sides, and also dealing with people she cannot completely trust.
