Time Travel Historical Romances

Each year we look forward to and celebrate time moving on for our lives to improve in various ways. However, many might enjoy visiting the distant past. Time travel has always been an interesting topic. Is there really such a thing...except in our minds? Many enjoy reading about those who, by some unknown force, return to the past as if to relive a segment missed in a past life. With the numbers who read time travel historical romances, it is definitely something upon which to ponder. Perhaps it is just the romantic in us. The time period is never perfect, but characters tend to place themselves in situations to make it more so and solve a problem that should have been taken on long ago. Never read one? Many are available to whisk you away from today's negativism to become acquainted with the past and the adventures offered. Was I ever a part of the 1600s or 1700s? Hmm. Most likely.

Happy New Year to all of my fans.

CHRISTMAS REQUIEM (Excerpt)

"She pulled her purse out of the satchel rescued from the trash dumpster. The vinyl was scratched and torn, and the zipper had disappeared long before she claimed it. But it was large enough for her purse and a change of clothes and shoes for her evening's part time job. She dug for the thin billfold buried under several bills marked past due. From one of the slots, she found the purpose of the search. Tears threatened when she punched in the phone number on the card to verify the amount of food stamps available. Not much. But perhaps enough for a decent Christmas dinner. She had tried to prepare her children for a lean holiday this year after her job ended. However, even with the extra work and food stamps, other obligations would cancel a nice juicy turkey and all the trimmings. Boiled chicken legs and stovetop stuffing would be the main course. A can of sweet potatoes were in the cupboard, but there would be no marshmallows or pecans. And pumpkin pie? That was only a picture in a magazine."

Requiem = Sad songs. Little hope. Depression. Misery. Many are feeling the effects of the economy this year. We remind ourselves to be thankful for what we have and pray for better times. However, our thoughts return to the present circumstances hovering to dim the most beautiful of holidays. We wonder if there are yet such things as miracles to save us from more despair?

Presently, I am working on another historical romance, The Mercenary and the Archer (who has a real attitude). This one has been fun because the heroine is someone the hero must learn to tame or at least convince her to keep her mouth shut. Watch for a December release.

Happy Autumn to All! Really pleasant temperatures in Texas.

THE ABBOTT SAGA - Box Set of Two. Yes, 2!

The Abbott Saga combines two lengthy historical romance novels now under one title. Romance, fantasy, paranormal...they are all there. The reader will receive approximately 200,000 words in e-book form for leisurely evenings or whenever time is found for reading. Adult content. Regional dialect.

Shadows o'er Killarney, set in 1789 Ireland on the heels of the Irish Revolution, begins when a recent young widow travels from the stark Irish coast to live with her aunt and uncle in the lavish garden spot of Killarney. However, trouble soon finds its way to the area. Jenny's fears of the future are quieted when a small creature is discovered in the forest near the lough. His tiny star burst eyes are full of promise as he tells her a treasure is coming by water to endure forever. Gold? Treasures are not always found in chests, Goliath tells her. Jonathan and a close friend are dispatched by England's king to Ireland to do the king's business by asking the Irish to join England's cause and have a voice in parliament. When Jonathan steps onto the Emerald Isle, he is in no way prepared for the chaos from a fiery tempered red head who holds on to her cultural values when he tries to invoke his on her. However, this is a romance, and romance does develop between the two. But an accident threatens the happily ever after when Jonathan thinks he will never again be a complete man. It is up to Jenny to convince him she knows everything will turn into rainbows...of course. Goliath told her so.

The companion novel to Shadows is Pipes in the Mist. Without giving away everything in the first novel, the Abbotts move to England and have a daughter they name Heather. She is special in that she evidently inherited her mother's gift of intuition and sight. An example is seeing swirls of mist whirl around a young man from Scotland and the "voice" assures her 'this is the one.' But her dream shatters and becomes a nightmare. Her world is suddenly turned upside down because of Stirling's problems with his laird father and the clan. It's complicated!
Romance. Fantasy. Paranormal. All with backdrops of  beautiful emerald Ireland, roaming hills of England, and the stark mountain peaks of Scotland. Available on Amazon and Smashwords. Soon on Noon, Apple, Sony, Kobo, and others. Two for one. What a deal for $5.99!
