Misplaced

One bad night. One strange accident. Suddenly, it’s 1960—and she has no way back.

What if a head injury didn’t just change your mind — but changed your time?
On a warm Essex evening in 2015, Donna Rigg’s life takes a sharp turn. Dumped by her boyfriend and fuelled by drink and heartbreak, she crashes her car into a pillar box. The diagnosis? A mild concussion. But what comes next is anything but mild.
In the days that follow, Donna starts to notice strange shifts in her world — shops selling long-lost brands, strangers dressed for another era, a vanished McDonald’s replaced by a milk bar. With each passing day, it’s as if 2015 is slipping away… and 1960 is taking its place.
Terrified by what’s happening to her, Donna seeks medical help — but when hospital staff suggest she’s delusional, she panics and runs. Then she vanishes from the hospital grounds.
Only she hasn’t disappeared. She’s fallen through time and the world of 1960 has truly become her reality.
A gripping, genre-blending novel of time-slip, identity, and dislocation. Misplaced explores what happens when the past isn’t just haunting you… it’s waiting for you.
