With a college degree in Agricultural Sciences but a job driving a forklift in a warehouse, Andrew, like many of us, finds that his release from the humdrum workweek comes through the tinkering in his garage on the weekends.

Lines of Force will take you on adventures that you’ll never forget and want to enjoy time and time again. Let Andrew Barton take you along to unexplored territory in this book about mistakes becoming incredible exploits!

In "Lines of Force" I created Andrew Barton to be a bumbling and yet likable fellow. He stumbles on one discovery after another and even though he's not quite sure how they work, he continues to explore their possibilities. At this point in the book, he has tried to go back into the past, but instead he ends up traveling to the future. The people there are expecting him and many of them look at Andrew as a celebrity. So when the police are called to find him, they are intrigued about this man from the past and they wonder if they'll be able to have something to show that they did, indeed, meet the man from history.
Book Excerpt
Lines of Force: The Weekend Adventures of Andrew Barton
Roger wasn’t angry anymore. In fact, he had to try very hard not to laugh. In all honesty, he had wondered the very same thing. In fact, he had gone so far as to wonder if Mr. Barton would sign autographs for his children and wife. He shook his head slightly and looked at the nervous officer standing in front of him. “Tell them that if, and only if, we don’t have to arrest Mr. Barton, they are welcome to ask for autographs, photos and anything else that he agrees to.”
