I have a recipe that pulls a newspaper from another timezone and converts it to a mobi format book. I want to be able to control the publication date/time of the resulting book so it can be in the future.

For exmaple:

My local time is 6 pm, Sept 27, the newspaper's local time is 1 am next day, Sept 28 so the newspaper is from tomorrow (as far as I'm concerned).
At the moment, when I run the recipe, the publication date of the resulting book is Sept 27 and I want it to be Sept 28.

I noticed that the basic recipe uses nowf to obtain the dates for the publication date and timestamp used for the resulting book but I can't see a way to change the behavior.

Thanks!
