When Larry Gelbart likes someone’s writing, I pay attention, especially when that writer is a friend of mine.

Television writer Doug Molitor has just released his first novel, Memoirs of a Time Traveler, in paperback through Amazon’s createspace.

Here’s the story: “A wild, Amazonian tourist from the future drags a young archaeologist of today on a chase through time, from ancient Atlantis to a hellhole future, from 1776 to Golden Age Hollywood, trying to stop her psycho ex, whose thefts of legendary objects are rewriting history. Sci-fi meets romantic comedy with sword-swinging adventure.”

What’s the comic book connection here? In addition to his 190+ writing credits in television, he’s also written for X-Men: Evolution and Lucky Luke (and Sliders and Young Hercules and Sabrina). So there! Doug is also the creator of Doug's Dozen for Funny Or Die.

If you want it signed and you’re in the L.A. Area, Doug will be happy to meet you for coffee.

And that Gelbart guy who developed and wrote the M*A*S*H TV series and the movie Tootsie? He said this about Doug: "You couldn't ask for a finer guide to the future - or the past - than Doug Molitor. Having so thoroughly enjoyed his Memoirs of a Time Traveler, the next book I read is, without a doubt going to be his Memoirs of a Time Traveler again."

Time to check it out!
