Huge thanks to Dave Golder of SFX Magazine for the great review of A SECOND CHANCE FOR YESTERDAY in this month's issue!

Four star review for A Second Chance for Yesterday in SFX Magazine: At first, hotshot programmer Nev Bourne thinks she’s hit Groundhog Day when she wakes up one morning and relives the day she’s just been through. But it’s way more complicated than that. When she next wakes up, it’s not the same day again, but the day before. And it keeps happening – Nev’s travelling back through time a day at a time. She thinks it may have something to do with the code she’s working on for a high-tech company that provides technology allowing people to make mini-jumps back in time (to quickly rectify embarrassing gaffes, or have a sneaky second go at a pool shot). As Nev tries to put her life back on course without causing untold damage to the timeline, she learns much more about herself and her fractured relationships with the people in her life. It’s an enticing central concept, which RA Sinn mines for a lot of fun while cheekily acknowledging and dismissing the inherent bootstrap paradoxes involved. Nev is an endearingly flawed protagonist, and there are a host of colourful supporting characters. But be aware: this is a character-led piece rather than hard SF, reliant on magical science, which sidesteps a lot of the practical time travel questions some readers might want answered (even if the author doesn’t).
