The writer, a winner of multiple Hugo and Nebula awards, admits she was first drawn to time travel out of a desire to go back and fix her own mistakes. Now she loves using it to allow her characters to experience history. She reads from her upcoming novel, Blackout, in which she sends time travelers back to World War II.
