I’m looking for some recommendations, and I will do a serious search for these next week, but what I need is some sort of computer program that organizes a time line. I have a multi-generational interconnected series of books, and I need a time line of significant historical events interspersed with significant events in my characters lives. It seems to me someone out there must have made this possible.
I could also use good character exploration software. My guess is that the problem here will not be whether or not something is available, but what is good among what’s available.
Any suggestions you have would really help.

It is surprisingly difficult to find decent timeline software. It’s even worse if you want software that is free and that plugs into a website (looked into this a while back for keeping track of gaming stuff). With all that being said, some quick googling, found 1 recommendation for Bee Docs Timeline.
Thank you, Mark. I’ve downloaded the trial. I’ll be playing with it and let you know what I think. It looks pretty damned cool.

Scrivener was much ballyhoo’d at Taos: http://www.literatureandlatte.com/scrivener.php
It’s Mac only right now, but the PC version should be available in January.
