Sydney's WWII Submarine Attack Unearthed in Thrilling Time Travel Novella
Time on the Harbour novella
When teen siblings and their friend from 2007 are flung back in time, they must infiltrate a WWII naval base to stop their grandfather from boarding a doomed troop ship. The attack on the HMAS Kuttabul, which claimed twenty-one lives, forms the explosive backdrop for a heartfelt, high-stakes mission that fuses true history with emotional, speculative adventure.
"The grandparents in the book are based on my own adoptive parents," says Graham Bottomley. "Their strength and spirit guided the story."
Scenes unfold in Bottomley's Terrace, a real 1865 sandstone home in Woolloomooloo where the author's father once lived-and which still stands today. Originally written as a screenplay, Time on the Harbour features punchy dialogue, vivid set pieces, and emotional urgency-making it ideal for film adaptation. An audiobook edition is coming soon.
• Inspired by real people and real events, this is historical fiction with heart-and cinematic flair.
• Perfect for fans of The Book Thief, Timeline, or Tomorrow, When the War Began.
• History teachers, book clubs, and teen readers alike are calling it "gripping, emotional, and unforgettable."

Faster time-to-market requires on-time product information.
Time is money, which is why large, multi-national organizations race to bring their new products to global markets. But many companies fail to keep accompanying product information on pace with the product launch, often it’s because corporate-level information must be localized to different countries, in different languages, and for different cultures. Being on time with product information and making it available in all channels—all while simultaneously maintaining content quality--can be…
