#timetravel Step Into My Time Machine!

 I don't think there are many people out there who wouldn't, if given the chance, step through a portal and travel back, maybe for only an hour, a day or perhaps forever. The destination/time frame choices are endless.  I've always had a fascination with time travel. I've read recently where there are people who can mentally travel back in time, with some success I believe. Whether that is true or not, I choose to believe.

I've written several books in which the heroine travels back in time, some scifi and others a good old portal.  So if you have the urge to travel ancient China, old England, the last great Ice Age, or the wild wild west, I have just the thing.

Let's start with my very first ever novel, FIONA:

Blurb: Time shifts in ever changing motion. But can love survive the ravages of time?

Set against the backdrop of Ancient China, Fiona finds herself transported to a time of barbarian warriors and marauding nomads from the northern steppes. She discovers a new way of life in the arms of the handsome warrior Kellach, a man of noble stature among the Celtic settlements ringing the great Taklamakan. Desperate to return to the present while struggling against her mounting feelings, she finally accepts her fate, exulting in the rapture and delights to be found as Kellach’s mate.

High Priestess Voadicia wants Lord Kellach for her own—and only the outsider Fiona stands in her way.

My next time travel is a short story, HEART OF THE SORCERER:

Blurb: Drawn inexplicably back to her childhood home, Annalisa returns, seeking to fill the void existing in her loveless life. Granny Jean, Annalisa’s adopted grandmother, failing in health and mental acuity, endeavors to discover the secrets of Annalisa’s soul, wanting nothing more than Annalisa to be happy before she leaves this earth.

A pictur
e hangs over the mantle in Gran’s cottage depicting a beautiful man of another time, a man who haunts Annalisa’s every dream, a man who calls to her in dreams.

Unknown to Annalisa, Gran and Alec, the man in the painting, have set forth a course of events to eventually send Annalisa back, back into the arms of Alec.

Then came the first in my scifi time travel series, RILEY'S JOURNEY, followed by INTO THE SAVAGE DAWN and BEYOND TOMORROW:

The time travelers embark on a journey of discovery, traveling back 40,000 years to a time of Neanderthals, Cro-Magnon, saber-toothed cats and cave bears. Survival of the fittest, that is the law of primordial earth.

Lastly, and certainly not least, my time travel novel, AIMEE'S LOCKET:

BLURB:  An antique ivory locket catapults Aimee Reynolds back to the year 1847. Alone in St. Louis, Missouri, she has to find a way to get home to present day Seattle. She needs a suitable male willing to marry her or be left behind when the emigrant train departs for the Oregon Territory.

Jake Marshall, scout for the Markham Party, is the perfect, if unwilling choice. Undaunted by his overt rudeness, Aimee entices Jake to the alter, promising her diamond earrings as payment for a marriage of convenience. Properly wed, she secures passage on the wagon train, and discovers her future may be in the past.

What Would You Do If You Fell Through A Portal And Ended Up In 1847 St. Louis?

She fell through the portal and ended up in 1847 St. Louis and the start of the Oregon Trail. She had to get home to present day Seattle and the only way west was the wagon train and Jake Marshall her only option to join the train. A marriage of convenience, a long, treacherous journey and the prize, ultimately, home. But will Aimee succeed?  Find out.








Excerpt:  

“Jake!” she blurted.  “Take me with you!”

            He stopped, his gut clenching.  He hadn't seen that coming! 

            He waited for her next move, staring at her face, flushed beet red, amber eyes begging.

            “Please," she whispered. 

            The walls closed in, smothering him.  He didn't want to hear what he knew she was going to say.  He didn't need that kind of complication.

            "I have nowhere to go.  I don’t know anyone, and if you leave, I’ll lose the only person who has treated me with kindness since I’ve been here.” 

            She reached up and took off her diamond earrings.  “My parents paid three thousand for these as a graduation present.  I’ll give you one now and the other when we arrive in Seattle.”

            He rubbed a hand over his face, giving himself time to think.  She was so beautiful, standing there, looking lost and sad.  Damn it!

            He checked the hallway and then pushed her back, stepping into the room.   “Even if I wanted to, which I don’t know that I do, I can’t.”

            “Why?”  Her lips trembled.  Tears filled her pleading eyes. 

            His stomach plummeted.  He hated tears!  He didn't know how to deal with them.

            “Because this group of emigrants are pretty religious. They wouldn’t take kindly to an unchaperoned female traveling with me.”

            “Even if I’m paying you – like a business deal?”  She took his hand and placed one of the studs on his palm.  His fist closed instinctively around the gemstone.  Holding the gem to eye level, he scrutinized it.  Why was he even considering it?  But damn it!  He was tempted!

            “Pretty rock.”   He handed it back and looked away, feeling guilty.  He wasn't good at these kinds of things.  Taking care of another person didn't fit in his plans.  She didn't fit in his plans.  He liked being alone.

            “They’re perfect – my parents made sure of that.” She repeated her offer.  “One stone now and the other when we reach Oregon.”

            “And I repeat – these people won't allow you to go with me.”

            “What would it take to get you to take me?”  Tears spilled down her silken cheeks.  "I'll do anything."

            Instinct caused his hand to reach up and cup her face.  The texture of her skin felt like satin, soft and smooth.  His heart beat sped.  She got to him in ways he didn't understand.  His thumb stroked the soft contours.  “If it was up to me, I’d let you go,” he conceded.  “But they pay for my services.  Maybe if you found a man to marry you, we could figure out something.”

            “Get married!  To just anyone?”  Shocked, her eyes glimmered in the lamplight.

            His hand dropped.  “Best I can come up with.  If you’re married, they might let you go.”  The thought of her with another man tore at his gut! He wanted to kill the bastard!  He gritted his teeth.  She belonged to him!  No other man had the right to touch her!

            She drew in a deep breath, blurting out.  “Jake, listen to me.  I know this is sudden but I don't have any other option.  I don’t know any other men.  Will you marry me – in name only?  Once we’re in Oregon, I’ll give you a divorce, and it’ll be like it never happened.  You can go on with your life, and you’ll have my diamonds to help buy that property you mentioned.” 

Jake shook his head, heat boiling his guts. “You want me to marry you just so you can get to Oregon?”  He didn’t know why, but her suggestion sickened him.  He'd let her get to him with her tears and her sadness.  She'd almost convinced him she was special, but she wasn't.  She was just a whore, an expensive one, but a whore.  

            “I don’t have any other choice.  I have to get to there and this is my best chance.”   

            “So – you are willing to sell yourself - for the right price,” he growled, irritated that it bothered him so much.

            Her eyes shot amber sparks.  “Not selling myself – I’m buying you.  There’s a difference.”

How About Some Free Reads to End 2017?

The following two short free reads were originally published by The Wild Rose Press.  TWRP has since closed the Free Reads program and returned the authors' rights.  I had two Free Reads with them: Prophecy's Bride and Songbird and have since set them up for easy access. (The covers were my efforts but as you can see, I am not a cover artest.)

Prophecy's Bride is about a young woman forced to wed a prophet from a neighboring tribe, but she prefers a life of freedom.
